A Summer's Day
A lovely summer's day, not too hot, not too cold. Just right. A cycle ride this morning, lunch on the terrace, reading my book this afternoon. I feel like stretching my legs now, why don't you join me for a wander around the garden...
A young aubergine developing - I love the black shininess.
The grapes are doing well this year. They will ripen into a red eating variety.
My 'folly'. I liked the long vista this shot offered.
Campanula - a wild plant stolen from the woods.
Owl - courtesy of B&Q with a big price tag of £2.00. I always like to bring a 'house present' out here each year.
The wisteria continues to flower throughout the summer.
"Do you fancy going to the spa tomorrow?"
"The one at Ax-les-Thermes?
"No, the one in Villefranche."
"There isn't a spa in Villefranche."
"Well I mean the Vival shop or the Spar shop, whatever. We need some more milk ."
That wisteria is flowering on late. Lucky you having grapes and aubergines. Mr Him and I have conversations like that. Cross purposes. We burst out laughing then.
ReplyDeleteOur conversations are really weird sometimes.
DeleteA cooler, cloudier day for us but still humid. You have a pretty garden that seems to be doing well even in the heat. Ha I chuckled at the spa/Spar confusion. Here's a recent conversation we had - crossword clue - percussion instrument, 4 letters. Him BONG, me WHAT'S A BONG, Him SINGULAR FOR BONGO, me WHAT! me IT'S GONG YOU FOOL, Him WELL IT COULD HAVE BEEN BONG, me NO IT COULDN'T, THERE'SO NO SUCH THING AS A BONG, Him SILENCE!
ReplyDeleteI believe a 'Bong' is some type of drug paraphernalia.
DeleteOh, of course, me being a complete innocent I didn't know that :)
DeleteI've heard of a bong tree (Owl and the Pussy Cat).
DeleteIn this house it's known as Vivaldi.
ReplyDeleteI like that - it sounds better!
DeleteWow, everything is so beautiful. The grapes, the eggplant, all those flowers....and there's still wisteria! Where I live wisteria is done by the end of April. It's just too hot.
ReplyDeleteThe wisteria always surprises me with its blooms.
