Heard a strange, regular noise in the forest behind the cabin first thing this morning. It was clear that whatever was making the noise was moving from left to right. I telephoned Anki and Ingvar at their cabin and they immediately identified it as a Reindeer with a bell around its neck.
After breakfast I went to the area where I had left the tipi poles tied to a tree to dry, when I was at my cabin in the spring.
I had tied the poles around the tree so that they did not bend as they dried and it had worked very well
I spent a lot of the day carving a kåsa as a gift for Anki for her birthday. The boys had enjoyed making and watching the boats floating on the lake and so I came up with the idea of adding tea-light candles to the boats to enable us to watch them on the lake at night.
And when one caught fire that added to the enjoyment for the boys. Here is a piece of video of the boats when we first put them on the lake
The new birds for my list today were Siberian Tit and Bullfinch
