A nice little Pomeranian

Today I met this nice little Pomeranian in Hittarp:

Here is some info on the breed:
The Pomeranian (often known as a Pom or Pom Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type that is named for the Pomerania region in Poland Central Europe. Classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size, the Pomeranian is descended from the larger Spitz type dogs, specifically the German Spitz. It has been determined by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale to be part of the German Spitz breed; and in many countries, they are known as the Zwergspitz ("Dwarf-Spitz").
The breed has been made popular by a number of royal owners since the 18th century. Queen Victoria owned a particularly small Pomeranian and consequently the smaller variety became universally popular. During Queen Victoria's lifetime alone, the size of the breed decreased by 50%. Overall, the Pomeranian is a sturdy, healthy dog. (Wiki)

Good advice

Winter is soon here. Here is some good advice:

The Hittarp reef is popular among Geese this time of the year.

In praise of buttons

Buttons are useful - and beautiful!

Here is a little bit about the history of buttons:

Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BCE)^[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and Ancient Rome.
Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.^[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.^[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."^[3]
Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.^[4] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe. (Wikipedia)
