Eternity of Cyclamen

I moved to the new blog-post editor and when I wanted to change something in this old post it turned out that the two editors are not compatible, so the paragraphs in this post will look stupid for ever. I have given up on it...

Cyclamen persicum

Today we packed the dogs in the car and went to Givat HaRakafot, which basically means Cyclamen Hill. The ground is covered with Cyclamen this time of the year, something compared to the Anemone nemorosa in the beech forests in Southern Sweden. This is the natural habitat for the Cyclamen, which you in Sweden only see as pot plants. The Cyclamen is also the national flower of Israel.

Me and Goshen in an eternity of Cyclamen

We had a lovely time and the weather was great, sunny and around 23 degrees. Barak behaved perfectly and was unleashed most of the time without any attempts to run away or cause any other trouble. Other dogs is actually not a problem at all. He is very friendly and mostly indifferent. What makes him flip is if there are cats around, so as long as the environment is cat-free, then he is pretty reliable nowadays. Today the dogs got a long jog in the fields with Yoram in the morning, then an excursion to Givat HaRakafot and after that we visited some family in Kibbutz Nir David in Beit She'an Valley, so right now they have hit a coma on the floor after returning home. Tired dogs are happy dogs!
