Garden notes, 10 June 2019

The running wave has been languishing in hospital for eight days with flu aggravated asthma, rather hoping that the garden would have been becoming more colourful in her absence. Not so! The weather over the past week has been cold, grey and rainy, so when I got home last night I wasn't entirely surprised to see that things had barely moved since last weekend. Lots of buds and promise, but not much colour. On the upside - it is all still to come!

However, today has been glorious and there have been dozens of bumblebees buzzing around the plants in the garden. It really was a case of a bee-loud garden!

In the outer garden some of the wild flowers are beginning to bloom, long awaited and lovely!

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
