This season has really taxed our patience.
Just when we thought we had at long last reached summer several days with record-low
temperatures messed up everything. We can’t be sure it’s final yet but thanks
to a couple of lovely sunny afternoons at the cottage I’ve at least managed to
steer my heart back to the singing mode.
We found the cottage around mid-June last
year and missed all the early blooming, partly because the old garden hadn’t
been properly cleaned up in years. Now, it’s been great to observe all kinds of
humble traditional perennials pushing their way through to the visible world again.
At the moment, the colour the greenery is
speckled with is white. There isn’t much else to show yet. It’s been so cold
and dry our summer is very late. Nature would surely welcome some pouring!
Ihania alkukesän kukkia!
ReplyDeleteJa hyvää vauhtia ovat kehittymässä lupiinit, vuorikaunokit, akileijat ja pionit. Kaikenlaista kivaa sieltä paljastui, kun vähän pusikoita putsaili.
DeleteWonderful to see the lovely little flowers. How exciting to see what pops up! Such a pretty place! x Karen
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen. We haven't had the opportunity to overnight there yet this summer but are hoping to do so finally later this week. Fresh blooming is expected.
DeleteIt's lovely to see all those flowers appearing. Are you experiencing the heat wave we are having? Sarah x
ReplyDeleteNothing of the sort. Unfortunately quite the contrary, some 5 degrees lower than average, meaning +15 degrees centigrade. :(
