    Love the colour @josusa47 and the weed is perfect.
    Just changed the door wreath to a summer one.  Did roses this time.

    Yvie, love the roses. I’ve got a pattern for a crochet butterfly if you’d like it.😃
    but, not now - I’m off to bed. Maybe tomorrow.

    DIY upside down plant supports ;) Complete with wire birds perched on the top. They kind of blend into the background. Had planned to train the cucumbers up them, but so far all that sprouted is the nasturtiums.

    Just a poem today (does that count as a craft?) inspired by a foxglove in a shaded corner of the garden.

    I feel tired as I look at you
    fresh apricot foxglove
    my eyes watering for staring so much.
    As soon as I’ll close them I know
    fairy folk will come to visit
    and as I’ll open them
    again they’ll be gone.

    I feel like a child as I get close to you
    fresh apricot foxglove
    my eyelashes pushing against each flower,
    trying to decipher the patterns in the cup.
    Have they left a message today, the fairy folk,
    or in their hurry they’ve once more forgotten?

    You’re trying to tell me something
    fresh apricot foxglove
    but the language is lost,
    and the ear not suitable
    and the eye is heavily draped.
    Even on this quiet evening
    there is too much of noise.

    I hope the fairies leave you a message @pitter-patter :)

    Thank you, @Joyce21 and @Hazel-1. I know what you mean about the fish. Last week, when we had all that rain, all the flowers were filled with water, like pipettes.

    That looks fabulous Dove. I’m sure he’ll be very pleased.
