Maja Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 When you have nothing else to do you might want to read my post on slippers: https://owceimanowce.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-principle-of-house-slippers-as.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Should show this to my wife, she uses her crocs als as an intermediary between houseshoes and wellies. She doesn't work the dogs though so less risk there. A very good read during my morning coffee, as I am gathering courage to get up and go feed the sheep and horses ( winter returned, and it's freezing outside).

Maja Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Thank you . I have already taken mine out. It's much warmer in Poland, but the wind is sharp this morning. At my place, it's much warmer in the forest where I found this lovely salamander in "our" spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Beautiful fire salamander, I am jealous I have always loves "creepy crawlies"; amfibians reptiles insects etc. But here in Iceland no reptile- or amfibian species. I know of an attempt to introduce frogs by a danish docter, and more fecently an escaped illegal pet alligator, those animals disappeared without a trace ( the alligator would in combination withbooming tourism and global heating make a great story for a silly horror movie though...). Not a lot of interesting insects either though I found an arthropod I didn't know about in a mountain river last summer, Lepidurus arcticus, which rather excited me, to the bewilderment of my fellow riders (we were on a trail ride). Water for the sheep was frozen as I had suspected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maja Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lepidurus arcticus, It's definitely a toofarnorthian species and if you see one, you know you are too far north . Our weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 All the snow disappeared in March,but some returned last week, not thàt much, but everything is white again. Kinda frustrating because I an really keen to put out an exercise group (a mixed bag of some yearlings of which two wethers, and a couple of older sheep) to start training my new dog. Green grass over there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maja Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 The grass actually never completely dies here altogether. We are 200 m from the river it is warmer here than everywhere else. You will go out there soon and have a great time training your new dog, all the best wishes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 It's snowing here and near freezing in upstate New York USA atm. Sounds like a pretty widespread later spring this year. Great story, Maja. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Omg is that the truth! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Elle Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 great story, great salamander. Thanks for both! Here, not only is winter over, but the Heat is approaching and most people who live here are seeing it get closer without joy. There's always the chance that this summer will not be as hot as last summer, but last summer broke the record, which had been broken only a year before by that summer. So no one here is holding out much hope of a cooler summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here, in upstate New York, I woke up to a dusting of snow and below freezing temps again. We're looking forward to some spring weather here. . . someday.
