Drying Rabbits, Poppy and A Little Bit of Magic

09 Jul

1   It is another absolutely beautiful day and next door have their washing on the line. I love to see the much -loved rabbits drying in the sunshine.

2   The Oriental Poppy that was opening yesterday is open in all its glory today. It is almost 7″ across but for some reason it is facing the wall, not the sun and not the garden!

Longfellow, Oriental Poppy and Lettuces

08 Jul

1   I was reminded today of the importance of kindness and remembered these words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits,
Take care of your garden
And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine,
Kind words, and Kind deeds.”
2    Our Oriental Poppy has started to open. I love how the petals are all so tightly folded up.
