Hello!
I hope you have had a lovely week. This is our weekly community post in which we share the seasonal things we have noticed. I tell you mine and then you tell me yours. At the end of the month I write a GREAT BIG ROUND UP of them all and somehow it always turns out kind of magical. And oh look!…one of those round ups is hoving into view right now as we - unbelievably - have reached the end of May. Look out for it in your in boxes very shortly indeed.
For now let’s wrap up this final week, as we ask the question: what have you noticed/done/sniffed etc this week that felt particularly ‘this week’?
Here’s mine:
Meadow time
We walk in several places that let the grass grow high in the summer and the dogs absolutely love it, as you can see. They charge and leap through it, there must be something lovely and sensory about the grasses swishing past their ears.
Here’s a better pic of the actual meadow, sans dogs.
That’s it from me. NOTE: Sunday coming will be the first Sunday of the month so please line up your ‘Usual Spot’ photos for our Sunday chat, which can be found via the app on Sunday morning (as soon as I wake up…). But also, we might make it a special one this week…
‘Usual Spot’ is where we take a picture of the same spot on or around the first Sunday of each month, all year round, so that we can see how it changes with the seasons. At the beginning of the year I asked you to save them all up in a folder somewhere so that we could do a round up in December and see your spot go from winter to summer and back to winter again, but…let’s do a halfway version of this! Yeah? Why not eh. If you have all of your ‘usual spots’ saved up then get them all lined up ready for a summer show on Sunday. If you don’t, now is the time to get your ‘Usual Spot’ admin in order (note to self…).
Now, over to you. What has been particularly ‘this week’ about this week? Please leave your comments below.
No Mow May in the park, love seeing so many plants thriving in one small patch; ribwort plantain, verbena, comfrey, red clover and so many other beautiful grasses!
I watched the raindrops standing up in spheres all over the enormous peace rose bloom yesterday, it felt like it was trying to show me something,
That north wind making garden forays short and focussed.
Picking bunches of love in the mist, verbena, mock orange, buttercups, fern etc from the garden for friends' birthdays
