Don't you love the quiet rhythm of the days when the sun shines and you feel happy with your world.
Since 'Lockdown' Dh and I don't rush in the mornings any more. We drink our tea, hot with the news of the day, then breakfast before we shower and dress. Dh always goes first for no particular reason and I read blogs on my laptop, before I shower. Then we have a coffee break, some times quite a long one as we decide what to do or not!
Yesterday after a quick tidy round, a short walk, we had an omlette and salad lunch with our own tomatoes, then I sat in the garden and enjoyed the quiet and the beauty of it all.
I see this burst of colour from the French doors, to greet me each day.
All our annual flowers I grew from seeds, potted on and we planted them out together to fill our flower beds. I love Nicotiana and their scent is exquisite.
Lots of dahlia's because I love those too,
Shasta daisies are the spots of white through several beds, I only thought of spreading them around last autumn, a tip from Monty Don!
It was very pleasant, I watched several pairs of cabbage white butterflies, doing their 'courtship' twirling around each other, there were even some small brown butterflies. I heard a robin's song and watched a large magpie on a neighbour's extension roof drinking from the guttering, and dodged some wasps! And here once again are my lovely Angels Fishing Rods!
An afternoon to be happy with our lives here in Wales. We don't even mind when it rains, always saying 'at least we're not on holiday!'

You described your lovely relaxing days so perfectly, that I relaxed right into that. Your garden looks gorgeous, a beautiful spot to sit and drink in the nature all around you.
Chris, it's as if you have a secret garden with all those flowers. I'm just so enjoy seeing flowers. I try to have as many as I can in my patio flower pots because of the deer. But in our area very few people even try to do that and I miss seeing the color.
So much colour to enjoy this time of year. We’ve had our first tomatoes out of the garden already. Such a treat!
We have similar flowers blooming right now and they give us joy too. Our tomatoes are nearly ready!
