Morning, all. How are you today? The sun is shining and, after a somewhat more moderate day yesterday, I gather the temperatures are due to rise again today. More excuse not to do all that much - as if I need one nowadays!!
I've been playing with my new toy, still just on automatic. It seems to do better close ups that the other one. The first lesson in the YWMC course lands today which, of course, is a busier day so it might have to wait until tomorrow.
Here's some garden photos, lightly disguised as 'playing with my camera'.
First of all, several of the tomatoes now have flowers which is exciting. I need to side shoot them and take of the lowest leaves, the seed leaves. They all seem to have taken well and look pretty happy so that's great.
Close up of the basket (yesterday morning, before the sun hit, bit dark, I should learn how to deal with that)
A dahlia I haven't found a place for yet - it might go in a pot this year. Isn't it pretty.
Finally, very exciting, a baby cucumber. This is from the mini cucumber which only produces female flowers (quite right too!) so unless this shrivels and drops, this may be my first cucumber of the year. Yay!!
(I've just noticed there's another at the top of the photo too)
Finally, the yarn did arrive yesterday after all and this is what I got. I think I have found and sorted the few glitches in the pattern so off we go! I'm happy to have a project again, even if it is a mini one.
Today, being Thursday, is a Chris and Joy Coffee and Chat Day. It's here this week and I have the garden room doors wide open to freshen the air and it looks very welcoming. It's the first time it's felt warm enough to sit out there for our chats and it keeps us in the shade which is good.
Then I have about an hour to prepare for Val coming over for lunch. We meet up pretty much once a month and always have loads to catch up on.
I will be all talked out by tea time, won't I?
Have a lovely day, everyone. Stay cool, drink plenty of water and remember that sun block. Be safe . . . xx
Your dahlia is gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen one quite like that.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is very pretty - that baby will be exceedingly smartly dressed!
It's very pretty, isn't it - dahlia and yarn! I will enjoy using the latter and looking at the former. xx
DeleteLovely dahlia, I'll look out for that one. I want more dahlias this year, never used to like them much, I always thought of them as 'old people plants'. Well, guess what....now I'm that old person and I love them! 😂 xx
