It's chucking it down. On the bright side it is a relief to know that at home the precious lupins will not be thirsty. Here in Devon the important guests are tucked up on the sofa underneath rugs with a cosy fire crackling away and a trash film and, in the kitchen, some unexpected time for me to think and plan. My head is full of planting schemes for autumn, books to read, gardens to visit. It's a good feeling.

That is a beautiful picture Alice. It rained all morning here too after I had been round with the hose last night. Planning for autumn already? We've not had summer yet.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why gardeners live longer is because they are always eagerly anticipating the next season.
DeleteAlice, hello! How did I miss your return to blogging. So glad to have found you now.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a mix of very heavy showers and sunshine here for the last few days, some of my flowers are looking very lush and others are a little flattened. And now June is all but upon us. This year is flying by so fast!
Hello Annie and thanks for dropping in. It is a very quiet little corner of Blogland here but you are most welcome to join us all around the garden table. Squeeze up everyone!
