#hydrandea

もう梅雨の準備をしないといけませんね。

Astilbe, hydrangea ACTUALLY going to have a bloom?? All the sedums blooming or getting ready to bloom, lamb's ear blooming (and zebra grass returns), and then pincushion flower which, imagine that, blooms and grows when animals stop eating it.

I biked to work today for the first time in a long time. It was a perfect morning to bike. Slightly cool and misty around the river and through the red zone. Mid morning I got a message that there was a large box delivered to reception for me. I was expecting an Air Fryer which Hubby had ordered. Somehow it was larger than I thought it would be. I wrangled it upstairs and texted Hubby so he could collect it on his way home. That meant I would have to wait around at work until he got there so I went for a walk in the gardens at lunchtime. It was 29ºC, sunny and beautiful out and I had a lovely walk. After work Hubby collected the very large carton and drove it home. I rode my bike in the warm wind. This evening the house is full of that heating plastic smell as Hubby test drives his Air Fryer. I am very tired from all that bike riding. Time for sleep. Night all.

じゃあ今週末はハナショウブかなぁって思ってます。

これから8月に向けてますます暑くなっていきますものね。ちょっとでも涼やかに感じる工夫が必要です。そういう意味では風鈴っていいんでしょうね。最近はめっきり見なくなってしまいましたけど。

でも、しばらくは晴れの日が続くみたいなのでますます暑くなるでしょうね。雨は雨で好きではないんですが、ちょいどいい春や秋はどこへ行ってしまったんでしょうね。

たまたま近くに花があったから花を撮ってるって感じなんだと思います。近くに海があったら、きっとずっと海の写真を撮っていたんだろうなぁ。
