Lazy summery days

Some days we just sit and watch the grass grow for neither of us are keen on gardening, that is in the accepted sense as we prefer mother nature to do her stuff and it is only when we cannot find one of the cats that the grass gets cut.

Mrs H relaxes


Today was one of those days when we sat on the sunny south side and enjoyed the sun from mid morning right through until She (moon) showed through with a coronet of cloud around her.


She moon

Just as the day was cooling our nearest neighbour brought us six fresh eggs from his hens. It was a timely gift and provided us with a tea of scrambled eggs hot buttered toast.

  1. Sounds idyllic. I would love to be able to leave my grass uncut, but the town has unsightly premises laws and deems long grass to be unsightly...strange. Your time in the sun must have been wonderful. In eastern Canada, we are still clutched by late winter, though spring is in view. Mrs. H is lovely...you're a lucky man!

  2. Oh to be able to move slowly through life, cosseted by the sun's gentle warmth. I'm jealous of you two and your long grass, and sunglasses.

  4. The latest buzzword for letting the grass grow is 'permaculture' good to see you are up with the latest gardening techniques! Everyone needs a chilling day in the sun, enjoy xxxx

  5. We should all take advantage... after a Spring like this, it'll probably now rain till July.

    Have you recognised on the pic with Mrs H, that the flower looks as if been between her toes:-D?
    I love very much the way you go for life and the way you just be with the good things. For me from far it looks a like a wonderful and very relaxed way. You are role model in the art of making life good, not putting pressure on yourself.
    An Art I undergo and need training in.

  12. I see I'm late here because Summer's already over ;) It was delightfully warm here too a week or more ago. Now it is cold, and I mean really cold, again. I shall bask in the warmth of your photos :) By the way, I also prefer a natural garden, but the grass I do try and cut...or should I say the weed patch!
