in amongst the rain showers. The lawn is like a huge sponge, full of water, and every time my wheels go over it, it gets churned up so is like a quagmire now. The sooner I get more paving the better. When the sun does come out, it brings the bees out with it. They are everywhere. Here is a list of plants in flower now that they visit: deutzia, heuchera, syringia, foxgloves, aquilegia, centaura, rhododendron, geraniums, daisies, thyme, hebe, saxifrages, cirsium, erigeron, geum, clematis and philadelphus. The garden is literally humming with them. I have been playing with my macro lens again trying to learn how to use my mirrorless camera.
