I couldn’t sleep so was up early

Our visitor goes home today. It’s been fun having him here.

Now we’ll just have the developing rose buds to watch.

Sunshine and warm temperatures

The peonies are on show in the shadows

The perfume of the Ceanothus fills the air.


It was an early start

The slightest of breeze and a borage flower landed on a peony.

I made some cake bites to take to a get-together

And we were ‘amused’ by a ‘literate’ graffiti commentator!

I have found another point of reference for the early morning sun, but I still miss the felled tree.

This view seems bereft, but by this time next year, if not long before, will seem perfectly normal.

What an exciting day! First – a visit to the dentist! Can I call it exciting? Hardly – but it meant I left the house …

It was followed almost immediately by a trip to a local nursery. I was very tempted by this hanging basket but it was far too big for its intended position.

We did, however, discover a tiny little coffee shop that also serves delicious goodies. Outside was this living wall – felt pockets planted with hanging lobelia. It’s an idea I may adopt! First find your wall, methinks!

Hubby found what he was looking for so it was a successful trip.

And I finished my blanket! It’s called the Salvo Blanket and you can read about it elsewhere tomorrow. I’ll give you the link.
