Summer seems to be here. My ranch sliders are open, the sun streams in and so does the noisy chirruping of the blackbirds. On going outside to see why they are making so much noise, I find Tonks sitting nonchalantly on the fence. She appears to be totally oblivious to the consternation she has provoked!
Penultimate day of the year and it was glorious; blue sky and sunshine. Great day for a couple of circuits of Pukemokmoke. Then chilling in the garden. So many flowers out now and the veggies are taking off (apart from the beans which seem to be a favorite of the snails!)
A sure sign of summer is the song of the cicadas. I love it. Reminds me of the south of France. I heard this one as I was sitting reading and liked around to see where he was. Right on the top of the sun shade. The sunlight glistening on his wing is beautiful.
The garden is starting to bloom. Love the roses and especially this one. I remember it was my mum’s favourite coloured rose.
The feijoa tree is in full bloom; promises of delicious fruit…
A quiet day after yesterday evening’s excitement. Breakfast in the sunshine was perfect for a lazy Sunday morning.
Found time this afternoon to plant out the veggie plants I bought yesterday. Hope they survive the wind! Loads of apples on the Apple tree.
A very productive day in the garden weeding, sweeping, pruning trees. Now ready for planting. The roses are looking pretty.
The sun came again today and strawberries are summer fruit so it must be summer!
Summer is here again today although it is quite windy! But the bees are out sampling the nectar.
More from the garden. The roses are blooming madly. Beautifully velvety and such perfect raindrops!
