Forget-me-not

“Oh, no!” said Cyclo, “I’ve found a packet of seeds. Forget-me-nots. Have you forgotten to plant them?”

Haha!
The seeds were from the Alzheimer Disease Society: a freebee. A nice idea, but I didn’t need them.

My garden is full of Forget-me-nots which flower freely Continue reading “Forget-me-not”

Weather be nice

Today, being Monday was sunny. OK for me, as I don’t work Mondays as a rule. But I thought of all those folk, who’d had a completely washed out weekend and then went to work in blazing sunshine this morning – (well sunshine intermittently at least) – while I walked in the woods with a friend and two Labradors and we caught up with a few weeks’ news.

“Wait until you see the blue bells,” she said.

The rain has had a significant effect on the river levels around here. Lots of places where it had burst its banks, including someone’s back garden. And they say the water hasn’t finished rising yet and that there’s more to come. Continue reading “Weather be nice”

Photo Competition #26, theme “Growing”.

It’s spring here and stuff is growing, the grass needs cutting and the asparagus needs eating.  In the southern hemisphere it must be getting near harvest time and those of us lucky enough to live between the tropic lines it is almost always growing season.  so without further preamble, the theme for this months comp. is GROWING.  That can mean garden vegetables, crops, flowers, shrubs or pets livestock or children.  Lots of scope there for a rich crop of entries, right?  Closing?  Lets make it midnight GMT May 22 ,  that’s also my 68th birthday, so judging maybe a little bit delayed the next day.

Photo comp #25. And the winner is……..

Time for me to put the black cap on and pass judgement upon the 25th Photo Competition. Thanks to all of you who submitted pictures. There were not quite as many as I had hoped for, but there were some really good ones there.

  • LW’s organ is a magnificent picture, although it is a shame you could not get the console in the frame.
  • Ara’s harmonica band was very good, especially as the instruments in question are Hohners!
  • PG’s Personalised Piano Demolition Derby is a sight to behold and the little guy with the trumpet is very cute! I like these pictures.
  • As for OZ’s highly decorative didgeridont, that is a very nice picture. I had a go on one of those while in Oz last year, and while I managed to get a decent sound out of it, I had a lot of trouble with the circular breathing and nearly choked myself! 🙂
