Visions of unloveliness...

Aargh! A gentle early morning walk with dogs and camera. Visions of unloveliness when I looked down - swathes of old forget-me-nots. Aargh! Am definitely not taking a photograph of them!

 Filled with lupins and roses.

Came inside feeling defeated, which is ridiculous. Beaten and depressed by old forget-me-nots? I don't think so. Am going to have my breakfast, then put my shorts on, and sort them out. The forget-me-nots, that is. And sort out my attitude, which needs some drastic improvement.

Over-generous...

Will also rake up all yesterday's mess and bonfire the rose prunings (this will make me feel better). Will face the garden head-on - the forget-me-not issue is only a issue of over-generosity, after all. Dear, darling flowers!

Much later...

I worked hard, then went out to visit family and take my smallish friend to ballet. When I got home I got back into the garden. Worked for another two hours, with Non-Gardening Partner helping me with the bonfire. All the prunings in the trailer are now burnt, I've cleaned up the messy path to the woodshed, and barrowed over dry mess from the fence-line.

Most of the edges around the back lawn are trimmed, the gardens are filled with colour and look wonderful, and my mood is super-positive again. It doesn't take much. What a beautiful place to spend time!

Eyes shut?

Maybe I just need to shut my eyes when I take the camera and my dogs on their morning walks, hee hee...
