Summer?

 

Loving this darker honeysuckle right now, should be taken out as in totally the Wrong place and is very old but I simply can't bring myself to do it. Am layering some .....and have taken cuttings.....

We have another that has paler leaves and flowers and yet another that is more yellow. I don't think one can have too much honeysuckle in a garden....

Aged Parent was transfered to a care home that wasn't quite al, it could be. Social workers interrogated the paperwork and found more the sins of Omission than the sins of commission.  But after Words...the home is now functioning properly. Staff a lot  happier for certain.

Question : what happens to folk without family? ( not everyone is married with children )

There has been a full month where family on the ground are stretched to breaking point.

If anyone reading this has not sorted their Power of Attorney  whatever it is called ....explicitly for welfare/ care and health....do it now. For the love of all that you hold dear.

Having flowers around to raise a smile has helped, but this experience is Right up there with bereavement and divorce.

 Helpless. Utterly. Totally in the hands of others.

So that all sounds very sad indeed and it was....is.

We are not yet where we will be.

This may not continue on to become a superb kohlrabi,  but I AM enjoying the colour of these leaves right now!

And these in another bed, with frogs trundling about underneath all that greenery......
