A Bit of Magic, Crops and New Words

I’m back!
In the first photo, you may notice, top right,  the little ‘pixie cap’ on one of the yet-to-open Californian Poppies. The short video shows the little bit of magic that I witnessed this morning, the pixie cap hovering in the air. It seems that a silk thread from a spider making her web, caught the little piece as it left the bloom and then the breeze kept it moving in the air, apparently freely, for hours.

It was my first trip in a week to the allotment this evening and there were crops to harvest, some rather large! Thank you very much  to S who has been watering our tomatoes while we’ve been out of action.

A bunch of lovely words came my way today, some I knew already, though I only learned  columella nasi last week as that is where I had my surgery. I am mending well and I thank you all for your concern and kindness. My favourite of the words new to me is ‘overmorrow.’ I am hoping to feel right to go to choir overmorrw (i.e. on Thursday!)
