Blue Sky Monday 1st June!

I got up really early this morning so I could spend some time in the garden before the heat of the day got into full swing.

I started on this corner of the garden where the stinging nettles were getting out of control

Much clearer now.  The green plants I have left aren't nettles or weeds!

I waited into after 9 am and then mowed this bank and also the orchard.  The grass was knee length!

The peas are starting to flower.

Common Blue Damselfly.

Bumblebee

Some more photos of the Broad Bodied Chaser  I wish my camera would capture the blue of its body.

Yum yum!

I spent the rest of the day enjoying sitting out under my sun umbrella on the deck, reading, knitting, doing a bit of sewing.  It was just a really glorious day indeed.

After dinner I went for a lovely walk before I watered the garden.

Soothing Sunday

At last a lovely no noise, no smoke day!  A quiet soothing Sunday, just the way it should be.  I didn't do any gardening today except for watering the garden in the evening.  It was too hot in the morning, and I was a little sore and tired, so decided just to have an easy day.  I did some reading, a little crochet, a little sewing and just general pottering around.  The guinea pigs got cleaned out.  Baily & Felix, Jeremy and Murphy came down to the outside hutch for the day.  It was nice watching them eating, and sleeping in their cage, while I was sitting and reading.

The sky was a glorious blue.

I spent some time by the pond.

I managed to get several photographs of a Broad-Bodied Male Chaser

Just love these lilies.

Ships going past.

Dennis enjoyed being on the grass.

The wild flower mat that I got for my birthday in March has some very big plants grown from it!

Courgettes!  I am so looking forward to these.

After I had watered the garden I went for a short walk along the coastal path to the bay and home.

Well that was May - can't believe it is June tomorrow!
