New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

Backyard Potterer’s journal: January

January 2
Interesting: the year has run out but still not really out. There is always another year to be had somewhere. So the year is just as lack of money that really has no end in this world. The more money man has the more money he lacks. The more years man has the fewer days he has left.
If the year does not run out, nor the yard of course, will there for instance once be a time when music runs out? So that we will have a turn of...

Backyard Potterer's journal - December

December 11
The year is ending, willy-nilly, and it seems as if  - well, not seems really, it simply is so – the yard has known long ago. It has decided not to undertake any changes whatsoever, just see what happens when the sky of the first month of the new year stretches above it, as always pure blue as at no other time.
It is just the time to go outside the yard, to extend the limits of the yard. But not too much either so that one wouldn’t be able to get back. Done, and it is of course best done together. In the yard one can keep busy on one’s own, it is safe – although you of course never know if a branch on the two hundred years old pine might not tire and rush towards earth to find support at...

From afar I see the fence rising! 
 
December 2
The yard is pleasant – surprisingly enough still quite warm. And so the house is warm too, although the Backyard Potterer hasn’t the energy to heat it particularly much. But beware – already the yard is besieged by the icy cold hand of winter. Not even a proper fence helps against this. Even if it seems that Estonians think differently. Why otherwise do we see irresistible fences built around our...

Vole admiring poison pyramid
 
November 7
The Backyard Potterer goes outside and what does he see – the vole has shovelled up three little pink pyramids from its burrow. The same little pyramids that the Backyard Potterer so laboriously slipped into the vole’s tunnels the day before yesterday. It took some work to find all the tunnels, in order to slip the poison doses there. Well,...

November 6
Sometimes autumn turns out to be surprisingly summery. Ten degrees in November is about the same as fifteen in May. The Backyard Potterer would not mind if the climate were to become ever warmer. It is quite pleasant to heat the house less and do more outside. But the sad thing about this is that the warmer it gets, the less heating is needed and so less greenhouse gases that make the climate warmer are produced too.
 
Indeed, with...

Backyard Potterer’s journal
 
So behold, a full Backyard Potterer’s year. With 12 Backyard stories too. There should be some kind of summary but what can you summarise when the year, drat it, keeps going on and the yard doesn’t let go of its contrariness either.
 
Lacking other and better ideas one can keep a journal – already Kafka, Louis XIV and Oskar Luts knew that. The last-named, true, lost his journal. And...

Backyard Potterer's Diary: September
25.10.2011 - 20:03 - Backyard potter's tales
Written and illustrated by: Tiit Kändler
Translation: Liis
September: National cloud. – National sun. – National mushroom. - The national mushroom makes you winged.
 
The yard thinks of God in September. Ponders over its place in this world, ponders whether to disappear or despite all to save the vitality, to return in spring.
 
To be or not to be is not the issue. The question is whether or not to be a yard.
At the end of September the yard begins to become transparent, and behind the trees...

Backyard Potterer's diary - August

August: Apples fall from the moon
 
For the yard the August day begins at night. At night, dark and dim. Stars fall on your head at mid-month, just when the moon has grown full. Perseus racing in the sky with his winged sandals cut off the hideous gorgon Medusa’s head and the Perseids only fall and fall over our heads but never come to the yard, always falling past, to come again to fall next year.
Making a fire to light up the yard at night is fitting...

Backyard Potterer's Diary - July

 Translation: Liis
July: the yard of nations
 
If  silence ever arrives in the yard, then it is in July. The grass grows slowly, so that you cannot even hear it. The flowers in the garden beds have established themselves nicely. Birds bother less and less about singing and stop this entertainment altogether at the end of the month. The berries on the bushes are still quite peaceable, quietly ripening and not nagging about picking. So there is a chance to simply lounge about, on your back, somewhere under...

June: will do for mowing
 
In June the yard expands and reaches out to the sea. But the sea brings us back to earth, to the yard, showing its many-layered nature. The sun deceives, baking hotly from heaven, and even the clouds have opened up their face, peering from somewhere at the edge of the horizon. The sea brings us to earth with its true temperature.
In the yard the trees gather beneath the largest common denominator in the year, the chlorophyll green. Yes, if the greatest common denominator of the...
