Summer is icumen in...




Verily, a day to sing cuckoo. Warm and sunny, I even had to get the hose out as some of the plants in the hotter parts of the garden are looking a little parched. Hung the bead curtain up too, to stop the early blowflies from coming in through the back door. Weeded edges, mowed the lawn, spread compost, re-made compost heaps, trimmed ivy and planted various stuff. Very satisfying.
PS. I've reversed the decision to get a kitten. The way things are going at work I need to keep expenses down, and although I would love one, it may be expensive if the kitten turns out (like Thomas) to have some chronic condition that needs treatment and a special diet. Poor Thom will just have to be a lonely only. (There is and upside to this of course; more food and more attention for the doted -on one).

  1. Your day in the garden sounds intensely satisfying. Well done.
    Warming up fast here too. And then reverting for a day or two.
    A kitten will come into your life when the time is right.

  2. Thankyou, I feel that way about the kitten too; someone may just show up looking for a home.

  3. I have a week off next week, hoping the weather is kind enough for gardening.
