Some welcome warmth

We have had a few fine days recently, which have brought a very welcome rise in temperatures. Yesterday, and today, I managed to take the dogs for a walk without being bundled up in a coat and scarf.  Progress!

During a weekend walk we put up a couple of very handsome brown hares, saw a couple of elegant deer, and Spring must have sprung because in one field I saw a few germander speedwell in flower, shining on the ground like tiny sapphires.

    Those sweet little purple flowers look cosy tucked up there!
    Yesterday- had he been alive- would have been my dad’s 91st birthday! I had a lovely walk with dogs in memory of him and listened to some of his favourite music! Mostly Neil Diamond! Lovely day!!🌺

    1. Cetainly not averse to a spot of Neil Diamond!! Glad you had a peaceful day, thinking about your Dad. A day well spent. That little boy in the email shares a birthday with my Dad, 23 July, who would be 103 this year! I am rather hoping the next round arrive on my Mum's birthday, 27 April! Who knows!!!

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.
