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!
nawww you have guinea pigs, I've been trying to talk the other half into us getting some but I don't think he's so keen.
ReplyDeleteThey are such lovely little pets, easy to look after. Quite entertaining too.
DeleteWhat a relief to finally have a quiet pleasant day - perfect for recharging batteries :)
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed!
DeleteSo glad you finally had some peace in your garden. Great photos, you have a real talent for photography.
ReplyDeleteOh so was I! Thank you :)
DeleteI cant' believe it. I was admiring your Broad-Bodied Chaser pictures and then saw the water-lilies (mine all died very suddenly and all at once a few years ago) when I wondered what had happened to the order I was putting in for another water-lily plant. I then forgot to return. So I've just caught up again. My garden has been a delight of bees in the heat of the last three days and then today we have a Northerly freezing our pants off again.
ReplyDeleteVery easy to get distracted, I do it all the time! There has been a lot of bees in the garden as well, quite a few different types from what I have observed too.
ReplyDeleteWe have drizzle here this morning (Wednesday 3rd) and the temperature has dropped.
