August 1

This morning there was time to finish the last temperature square for July. That strip is now complete.

Who knows what August has in store. No point in looking at the long range forecast – it can change in a puff of wind.

The sun was in evidence, but we did have a couple of heavy showers.

A gift of red roses today. Something special.

July 30

Not much to report today. Most of it was spent at a scheduled hospital appointment for a family member.

No watchers today. The wind was strong. I think they were hiding.

Aren’t these colours glorious? Just a few short days ago these plants were decimated by unwelcome snails. We managed to save them – what a result!

Several downpours today, but each was interspersed with brilliant sunshine.

It’s always good to be reminded of God’s promise.

I’m pressing on with this blanket. Enjoying using a new joining colour.

July 24

The day began with drizzle – rain, but so light it was hardly visible.

The starlings were waiting for something.

Soon they were gone – leaving ‘official’ watchers

The first of the new flowers appeared on the Viburnum. It has rested for about 5 weeks and will continue flowering now for almost 12 months.

A lone purple flower shows that the wire is doing its job! A local cat was constantly digging up this plant! I think we’ve saved it.
