Oh it’s been such a rainy summer this year. There are little pools of water in our back yard. We haven’t done the garden yet and just let the hay and weed of all kinds grow naturally.

I suppose that’s why we had a huge slug invasion in June. There were so many, when it rained they would emerge from the grass and make their way on our terrace and up the windows. One evening we forgot to close the door between the garage and the hallway, so the beasts got in. In the morning I found two crawling on the carpet. Yuck. I guess we’re lucky not to get the really big ones that you find in the forest. No, ours measure something like 5 centimeters, give or take. It’s a bit better now that we cut the hay in the back. I think the slug season is coming to an end. It feels like autumn.

Meillä on takapihalla oma etanafarmi, joka on saanut vapaasti kasvaa ja rehottaa vetisen kesän ajan. Etanoita on välillä löytynyt ikkunoiden ulkopinnalta, välillä eteisestä. Etanakausi on vissiin lopussa nyt, niitä on enää muutamia etupihan nurmikolla. Ovat ilmeisesti kadonneet talvehtimispesiinsä tai minne lie. Syksy on tulossa.
