Wooden Heart, Granny’s Bonnets and A Surprise

I’ve been trying to catch a shot of the heart shape on a fallen tree ever since Storm Goretti and today, as we drove past, I just about managed it, albeit a bit fuzzy.

My Suffragette Garden has purple and white Granny’s Bonnets beginning to flower.

In February, when the Tête à Tête were flowering, we found a small bag of bulbs we had missed in the October planting. We popped them in a pot anyway and now, in May, they are blooming.

And today we fondly remember Ti on her birthday.

 

Burncoose Gardens

Lovely short walk in the gardens today after buying a new Clematis Montana with our daughter. The bluebells and rhododendrons are magnificent.

 

Bluebells, Clematis and A Song

Driving to choir this morning was a blur of beautiful blueness as the hedgerows along the way are thick with bluebells. I couldn’t take a photo (as I was driving) but here are a few of the lovely flowers from our garden.

Our Clematis Montana is wonderful this Spring having been cut almost to the ground two years ago.

We sang this beautiful song, Keep You in Peace, at choir today, rehearsing for singing at the funeral next week of our very dear friend and much loved member of our choir. Thanks to S for the video.

Dandelions, Jigsaw and A New Word

We completed another jigsaw yesterday but, in a hurry to clear the table, I forgot to take a photo so here’s a photo of the cheat sheet in the box.

In fact it’s an old word but it’s new to me and I love it! 

Yesterfang   (Old English) A meal or a catch from the previous day as in:  “I don’t feel like cooking tonight. Let’s reheat the yesterfang!” .”
