The sun has been shining today on my little piece of England. The most important job of the day was to sit in the garden and appreciate all the hard work that's been done in it recently!
I must have spent a good couple of hours breathing the fresh air, reading my book and just generally enjoying the garden while the washing dried on the line It was so quiet I could just sit back and listen to birds singing, which in turn made my heart sing.
We have a few hanging baskets dotted about, I love the bright splashes of colour from these Petunias and Pansies.
We built a raised planter with old railway sleepers earlier in the year and a little fairy garden too (a few weeks ago and now).
It's filled out so much in the last few weeks
I love the Dahlia, it's covered with flowers now, this photo really doesn't do it justice at all
Nice and cheerful around the dog's kennel too
The poor things don't enjoy the sun as much as we do, Alfie in particular doesn't cope very well and doesn't seem to grasp how staying in the shade can help cool you down, bless him.
Just outside the conservatory doors so we can see it from inside
A butterfly settled on the fence
My Sweetpeas have started flowering, though don't seem to have gown very tall
My gorgeous Daisies
Inside for now, but I can still appreciate my lovely Lilies that were in the bargain section in the supermarket, not bad for 99p!
Take care

DeleteI think we often forget to sit back and enjoy the work we've put in to our gardens. I love your little fairy garden, that's so cute. I do feel for dogs when the weather's warm, Archie doesn't cope with it very well either, he often goes and lies on the tiled floor in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHoney will lay on the tiles, but poor Alfie doesn't seem to be able to work it out x
