Birthday treats

I clocked up another year this week.  I don't feel any different from when I was a young woman, and my days are just as busy and diverse.  I am very lucky to have the health and energy to live the life I do.

I had a very good day on Wednesday, even though it started with apocalyptic weather, as I drove the pup to see the vet nurse in Haddington.  Black as night, thunder, lightening and torrential rain.  It was quite something.  But then the sun came out later on, and Tilly and I enjoyed a stroll along a short stretch of the John Muir Way.  
The highlight of my day was listening to my favourite musician, Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, with his group and featuring an extraordinary Indian percussionist, Trilock Gurtu.  The concert was part of the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, and it was fabulous!  Dinner afterwards, at a great little French restaurant in Edinburgh, rounded off a wonderful day.

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.  

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!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
