Three vases on Monday

The sweet peas are looking and smelling delicious, so with no further ado here they are, in two vases this week.  In my third vase I have a couple of modest little beauties from my raised bed.  There is the adorable field pansy, and if you have never looked closely at the flower of rocket, the salad leaf, I include it here because it is extraordinarily intricate and I think it is very beautiful.

    I felt I could almost smell them too, Amanda. I have taken out my 'winter flowering' sweet peas so am looking forward to crop of my later ones. It is lovely to see yours in the meantime - and it is worth having your rocket go to seed so you can have their little flowers to admire!

    I love sweet peas and yours are gorgeous, while mine are long gone, being late winter/early spring flowers here. The rocket in the third vase is a nice touch.

    Goodness!I love it, especially the Arugula. I grow it here in the winter (and Pansies as well) I will have some in February. I love the Sweet Peas and wish I could inhale their fragrance over the Internet. Sigh.

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

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.
