This week's stars



This little blue flower creeps all along the west side of the house.

and nestles happily on an old bag of sand.

One of those creative Campanulas that find places you'd never even think of planting up! It had seeded itself into the mortar of the front of my sister's old house so that in early summer it looked like she'd painted everything under the window lilac blue.

Such pretty blue flowers, a gift from nature.

The only thing in common with my garden is the old bag of sand! Lovely stuff Pat! :¬)

What do you do in the winter time? Do you ever consider moving to a climate that will allow you to do this year-round?

Pat said...

Kevin: I love it when that happens. I think fairies are involved but keep it to yourself.

Mickle: blue in the garden is heavenly.

Mapstew: we should be ashamed. It's been there for about a decade:)

UB: in the winter we shiver and grumble but I need the variety of seasons. Just now the climate is perfect.

It must be lovely to have a colourful garden, Pat. The few flowers we had are being trampled or pecked by the hens. Can't wait to fence off the 'back' garden for them to play in.

opps.....
I wanted to type, " don't move it "
hit two letters at once...

Pat said...

Sandy: the hens sound real bother boys;)

Parsnip: little chance of moving it - I think it's bonded to the path now. I hit the wrong letters all the time - sometimes I notice it and sometimes I don't.
