Rufus' Diary

Hello dear reader, I hope you are well and enjoying the glorious weather here in the UK, or coping with colder weather elsewhere. Needless to say Polly is enjoying it. Her daughter in Australia said they had minus 1 degree recently ... brrr I didn't realise it got that cold 😰  

We're going out much earlier for our walks, 7.30 when it's lovely and cool, and going where there is more shade.

I think this is Hawthorn blossom, it's been spectacular this year

Polly loves listening to the birds singing

Unfortunately we haven't seen any Bee Orchids this year.

A new addition to the bonfire area. First there was the car, then the scooter, which has since disappeared

now there is a heron.

Polly always has a look round to see what's new - she's nosey!

In the garden, the gazebo is up, the roses are glorious

and the geraniums are pretty.

This is one of the places Polly goes to get summer plants, it's a small independant chap a few miles down the road. He has lots of lovely old stuff that he was hoping to exhibit in a small museum on his property, but the council wouldn't grant permission.

Polly has been busy making lap quilts. It's usually a winter project. 

She has three on the go at the moment! the bottom one is bees, the middle is Lightning McQueen from the Cars movie, and the top one is Sheriff Woody. 

When he was little Polly's grandson loved the 'Cars' movie. Every time she visited she watched it with him. (She enjoyed it too :-) )

She should be working on her Lake View dolls house!   

I'm going into the garden to lay in the shade and join Polly who is reading on her Kindle.

∼ Be safe and well ∼
