Here in the West of England we are experiencing a rather prolonged heatwave, we are simply not used to these temperatures, and it's very tiring.
Apart from watering my yarden, all I want to do is sit and flop.
Scenes from the yarden early in the morning before it heated up
1. Gladiolus and a couple of hollyhocks
2. Not very tall sunflowers
3. A hanging basket on the side of the garage
4. Raindrops on roses, except, of course, they're hose droplets rather than raindrops.
5. My all-time favourite flower, Crocosmia Lucifer
6. I'm growing blackberries for the first time this year
7. This was the temperature in our hallway at 9am
8. Mashed banana and strawberries mixed in yogurt make a refreshing mid-morning snack
9. I'm knitting a fairy for GD6, it's a first from this pattern, I think I'll adapt it if I do any more, it's a bit too long.
10. This will be one of the wings
How are you coping with this heat? That's if you've got it, of course. The temperatures are record breaking.
Lovely photos, Joy. Your garden looks delightful and I think that angel is very cute. It's not too hot, yet, over here; today it went up to 88F (31C); I had the fan on.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law and grandson and her mother just spent the week in Suffolk. She said it was tropical! Luckily the air bnb had a pool!she had to drive all the way back home to Scotland in the heat, traffic jams, tailbacks and roadworks!I told her to get the train next time!
ReplyDeletePs woke up to a thick haar descending this morning! 17degrees here today! I was melting in 28 degrees yesterday!
ReplyDeleteA nice set of photos for the 10th, Joy. It sounds like you're suffering with the heat as well ... only another week to go before the cooler temperatures are back! xx
