Drippy day 3

My first observation on waking this morning was the silence.  The wind which was roaring around the cottage and through the neighbouring woods last night, had dropped.  Today, at 07.24, a blackbird broke the silence with its first song of the day.  The light levels were low, and it was tempting to lie a little longer, but the dogs would have been checking their watches so I got up to take them out.

We walked down the lane and then it started to rain.  It hasn't stopped since and we have only managed a brief peep at the lovely Kiloran Bay, a short and extremely wet walk, and have now retreated to the cottage and the woodburner.  The forecast suggests a little sunshine later this afternoon.  Time will tell!

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
