the two last pictures from yesterday evening were taken at 20.59 (9pm)
... and at 22.38 (10.38 pm)
it's so dark that the dark pigs are difficult see from the background... i think our only hope to be able to see little stripies is that their moms bring the little ones here before it gets dark. it was difficult enough to see stripies in the siga1-ground last spring with the strong lamps there. here the light is much dimmer.

they'll do almost anything to prevent us doing whatever it is we are doing if they decide that they want attention.
btw: our cats are called Ritva (she; it's pronounced something like 'retvah') and Erkki (he). they are normal human names. Ritva means 'a slender hanging branch' or rather a thin long twig in particular in a birch (Betula pendula, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betula_pendula), and Erkki is about the same as Eric.

Friday, April 2nd: good morning!
the ground is empty but the forest is full of singing birds.
a blackbird and a great tit are the loudest, but there's also chaffinches (which is now singing the verse properly).
