Strimming trimmings

achilleaI have so many pictures to post, and so much news to impart. But this is the tricky bit about a hot early summer. You need to get up early to do things before it gets hot.   Middle of the day you are supposed to have a siesta.   But I just can’t manage it – I get flashbacks of kindergarten in Sydney when all the children were supposed to lie down on a mat after lunch for a rest.   It was way too exciting to have a sleep when there were so many children about and new adventures to have.   I can still here the stern voice of a kindy teacher saying to the five year old self   ‘Lindy, Lie Down!’.   And I still don’t.

But if you are working until after 9 in the garden and only eating dinner at 10, sneezing all the while. Even this duracel bunny wears out.

Here is the results of my late night last thing before bed activity.   These wild achillea were in the area I am about to strim today. I couldn’t contemplate killing these lovely wildflowers. So I grabbed a bunch and brought them into the house.   And don’t tell me this is the reason why I am still sneezing. One must suffer for beauty. A bit.
