Last week they cut the 4ft high grass in 'my field' (it's not mine, but I like to pretend it is as I skip through) but this is what it was like when it was still green but I was not blogging.
I nearly always walk through there when I go for the bus even though it takes longer than going to the closest bus stop. There is a constant threat to all the fields from developers so I feel I need to really enjoy this space now and count each season it's here as a blessing.
Mustn't forget about my veggies, who knew I could grown them with hearts inside. Had this selection (courgette, broccoli, cauliflower) steamed for dinner last night with soya mince and spicy lentils. Very tasty indeed, which is lucky cause I'm eating it most days just now.
Today has been a day of constantly changing sky with sun ans rain in equal measure. Only dawned on me to take a couple of photo's towards the end of the day when it got really moody and heavy, low rain clouds shared the space with bright sunshine. Thee two pics were taken within an hour of each other, it just kept changing, very beautiful.
A quick post, I've been trying to go to bed for 5hrs, and now it's full daylight outside!
Scotland is such a green country, I'm am particularly appreciating this after seeing urban areas going brown after our recent hot weather and lack of rain. I'm a gardener, I like a bit of rain each week.
The Rest and be Thankful is on the way to my Gran's house in Argyll, in the West Coast of Scotland. It came as a welcome resting place to folks in the past who used to walk their sheep (i think sheep, or cattle?) all the way up the steep slopes. When you got here, from either side, you had a good rest and were thankful knowing it was all downhill from then on.
Often it's clothed in mist but when we took a trip to my Gran's last month for her birthday it was really hot and sunny, and the clouds sent shadows dancing over the mountains.
