September Sun

These treasures are from my walk with the hounds.

I collected far more walnuts

the next day.

These photos have been sitting waiting

for me to post for a couple of days now.

I haven't been spending much time on the computer.

We've had people staying at different times

and the weather has been too hot to sit at the computer.

But I just had to get the camera out

to record the weather

and what the boys have been up to.

As you can see,

they're doing what they do best.

It's not often that Paddy lies on his back outside.

I think the temperature must have been just right for him.

Arthur's enjoying a spot in the sun too.

But Rufus is taking it easy on his favourite seat inside.

I took a walk round the garden

to see what's still blooming.

The sweetpeas are looking just as nice

if not better than they have all summer.

They smell lovely too.

This hollyhock was battered by the hailstones a month back,

but it's still producing large flowers.

I was surprised to see these rose blooms

as they are the first ones I've seen on this plant

which I planted earlier this year.

I think I'm good at growing

marigolds

and nasturtiums.

They grow themselves really.
I love their cheerfullness.

Well, some things don't change

do they?

I'd best stop napping

 and get blogging again.
