Dyr påvirker, og dyr kan hjelpe!
La tankene fly, la hendene gli gjennom pels,
kjenn på pulsen, pusten, teksturen….
Eller bare sitte utenfor gjerdet og lytte til vinden, fuglene, trærne…
Ønsker dere en strålende god dag.
Cows out! Spring of ’26
Kuslipp på Vaag 23/1 2026!
Alltid gøyalt å åpne fjøsdøra til kyr som blir vanvittig glade for å komme ut i sol og frisk luft!
Tobias chiller i skyggen en vakker vårdag, og har vært ute lenge før melkekuene fikk komme ut da han og de andre skotske høylandsfea går ute hele året.
Waiting for Christmas 2025
Stuff to do…
but there is also a need
to just chill and be calm …
Miri is a fierce mouse hunter, yet she is an expert “chiller” at 15 years of age
Two more Sundays to go before the Christmas season really enters our farm.
Some old traditions remain in this household, one being:
No Christmas deco until December 23rd, “Lille julaften”…
Halloween 2025
The spiders and skeletons were having a thrill clinging on for dear life in the wind!
The one taking a bath was actually bathing in smoke, but the smoke drifted away quite quickly…. hoping for calmer conditions next year!
Summer 2025
Summer of 2025
A few glimpses of our farmlife this season.
It has been a very rainy June causing part of harvest to get delayed. Lucikly, July came with some awesome and greatly needed sunshine and we rounded up the first harvest of grass with some nice, dry hay. In between barnwork and fieldwork we have also put in a bit of gardening… the weeds just keep comin’ unfortunately.
Much more fun to watch the cows than to do weeding, that is for sure. 
This annual actually originates from my grandmother’s garden.
Weeds partially under control for a while…
This bush have been in the farm garden for ever…. It shows in really old pictures… so kinda the oldest, nicest bush around. Skogskjegg is the name in Norwegian.
The cows on the first day outside for the season! Feeling jumpy and great!
Following: The farmers at work!
Have a great summer!
Love from here to there!
Farm changes with time, and running a farm is about keeping, maintaining and evolving…
A few pictures of the Vaag farmhouses, from around 1960ish
Skipping to the 1980s:
And skipping further to about 2010. Still a work in progress…
The farm is still evolving… and there have been quite a few changes since 2010, and I hope we will be able to keep on developing the farm and land my grandfather bought in 1952.
Uuuups!
Working on a farm includes plenty of memorable moments!
Somethimes tractors and their chaffeurs need rescuing, and these operations, well….. enjoy the show! Here are a few glimpses of what could be seen as the downside of farming.
Farming is fun! Tractors are fun, and sometimes playing in the dirt is not as much fun as one would think…
Another year, another harvest:
From November to December 2024
November has come to an end, and the sky has just been awesome in the mornings lately.
And this is the sun trying to get through on December 1st.
What is most important these coming days?
Wishing you a month of warmth, kind hearts, joy and rememberance.
