       All these blooms are from the cottage last weekend...

       What a busy day I have had...

          Made jam...baked loaves...made scotch broth...made bean salad...
               We are having our annual street party this evening on our court...
                    A beatuiful afternoon right now...although a bit windy...sun shining...
                         Only got a bit of rain...had hoped for more... 

                Hope you all had a lovely productive day...

                          Enjoy your evening...

    Oh my Linda, your garden blooms are so rich in color, and I love that soon you will be having a harvest of beautiful veggies. I brought my rosemary plant, so I could make some rosemary chicken, also salt and oil. Can't have too many things on our balcony.

    What pretty flowers. I do miss those gardener children of mine, but things are bound to get better without so many little ones underfoot. It's either one garden or the other (children or flowers), I can't keep up with both.
