Hello!
Thanks for your lovely response to the Big Beautiful May Poem last week - you can revisit it here - and also thanks for your valiant attempts to post your six months worth of ‘usual spots’ in the Sunday chat. It was a bit chaotic and we changed methods half an hour in, but I’m glad we had a go as it has shown me how we need to do it when we do the real round up in December, let’s call it a half-time trial run.
Here we are a week into June. This is our weekly post in which I chart something that I have noticed about my week, and you follow up with yours in the comments, and then at the end of the month I gather them all up into a big poem of sorts, like the May one. This way we mark out the seasons week by week and month by month. It works, it’s a bit magic.
Here’s mine:
Roses
My garden roses are out and they are beauties once again. There is nothing quite like them, and I am slightly regretting a bit of a hard prune in later winter, but I can see that I have a lot more flowers to come so I think I just delayed things. Beautiful to see them anyway.
That’s it from me, a quickie this week. Please leave your own comments. What have you noticed/done/eaten/baked/picked this week that has felt particularly ‘this week in the year’?
