It is early in the morning and we had just beautiful and warm weather till today. Hans is in the barn melking cows, Martin just left for work and Hanspeter is doing his businesswork. It is before breakfast and something is in the air: Is it going to rain today? I got a new dishwasher yesterday and so I got more time for anything else, there is always enough to chose from.....Freitag, 20. Juni 2008
Everybody is working or staying outside
The farmers are pressing hay, and all the others stay just outside, working in the garden, going for a walk or just enjoying the nice temperature.
Even TV are outside to watch the European Football Champinships.
Tonight is Holland - Russia.

Finally: The summer is back in Bern
I found this in the newspaper from today and I put it with a tool to into english:
Finally: The summer is back in Bern
After the barely endless rain of recent days, yesterday in the capital for the first time again the summer reported.
The unexpected sunshine and high temperatures attracted to the Berne outside and provided a good mood.
The best thing now is to stay the summer:
"Until the weekend, temperatures rise to 25 degrees," says Philippe Gyarmati of Meteo test.
And I found also this:
Energy consumption around the world is growing
The global energy consumption, despite higher fuel continued to rise. Last year total consumption grew by 2.4 percent, as shown by statistics presented to the oil group BP shows.
This increase was slightly weaker than 2.7 percent in the penultimate year. The growth was, however, for the fifth time in a row over the ten-year average.
In the European Union, the consumption contrary to the global trend by 2.2 percent. Germany even recorded a minus of 5.6 percent to 311 million tonnes of oil equivalent. On the other hand, used the U.S. as the world's largest consumer last year, 1.7 percent more energy, China 7.7 percent even more.
The global oil production is last year since 2002 for the first time dropped - namely by 0.2 percent. The proven oil reserves but were unchanged at 1.24 trillion barrel This rich, the current production level for more than 41 years to maintain, says the study.
Gas consumption rose according to the statistics 3.1 percent. The U.S. used because of a cold winter clearly more gas in the EU, it was because of a mild winter less.
Coal accounted for the fourth consecutive year, the strongest growth rate of all energy sources, with an increase of 4.5 percent. On the other hand, the consumption of nuclear energy by two percent.

Is sommer coming?
It is nice and warm outside and we hope it will stay warm for quite a while.
The farmer have less salads and strawberries and to bring hay in was almost impossible.
I went out yesterday and took some pictures from the cows.
They just went to the barn for milking.
You can see the diashow on the right side.
We are so glad we came to visit the USA and met you all.
Now the flight tickets are going up, because of the record prices for oil.
And I guess it will take a short time, till we have to pay more for everything else around us.
I visited my parents yesterday and showed them all my pictures on my laptop.

Everyday life is back after all
Outside, it is cool and we all need to wear a warm sweater.
The men's choir from Oberbottigen gave a brunch and Hans and I had to help. There were some 150 people and we had fun.
We were very tired last night, because of the jetlag and Hans went up early in the morning to milk the cows.

Back in Switzerland
Hans and I got back 8 o'clock this morning from the USA, we had a safely flight and got easy back through the border from Zurich Switzerland. Hanspeter was waiting outside at the airport.
The weather is cloudy and a little bit cooler than in Detroit.
Everything is well at home.
And the gasoline is also more expensive, than it was two weeks ago.
A gallon of gasoline costs now 7.2 U.S. dollars, and with our car we drive about 38 Miles with a gallon.
Our business Partner and his wife come this evening to visit us and we will tell them about our traveling and they will tell us about around here.
