Garden notes towards the end of June

The cold weather of early June prevented the roses in the garden from blooming in time for wedding guests arriving on 13 June, but as soon as they left a few days later, the buds burst open! Very frustrating because this is the time of year when the garden looks its best! Hey ho!

Outside the garden the roses I planted earlier in the year have become completely hidden by the long grasses! I excavated them and was amazed to find two of them were actually in bloom, along with the Aldi alliums! We haven't strimmed along the drive in recent weeks but now that the cow parsley has finished blooming the time has come, but I have rescued the roses for now!

The moon daisies I planted a couple of years ago have multiplied which I am happy about!

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.
