🌦️ RAIN ! 🌦️🤍🌧️

I opened the cottage back door this morning and the first thing I see is .....

                                          .......the back door steps are wet !

            The puddle where I wash my muddy boots has returned !

                  I check inside the waterbarrel .......

                         ..........it is about a third full ! 

                 Could do with more but at least it's something !

       And as I opened the greenhouse door , I saw a frog ! 🐸 Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough with my camera and he quickly scuttled off , but I am so happy to see him having survived this awful heatwave .

     I think there is more rain forecast for tonight .

              Such a welcome relief for the wildlife and nature .

 🌿 🌦️ 🌧️ 🤍...and it smells so good ... .. petrichor .....mmmm ...🌦️🌧️🤍🌿

           Plan for this morning . Doing some baking !

                  Have you had some rain yet ?

                                           All fer now ! Love Debbie 💐x

                        Peace and Love and Rain 🕊️🤍🌦️

 

Fog

          This morning looking very Autumnal through the fog .

Autumn leaves . The Horse Chestnut always the first to say goodbye .

                                         Crab Apples and Plums

 A few wind fall apples for a crumble . I found this beautiful Buzzard feather .

                 Leaf sweeping time has come early this year .

                                     Cornish Mizzle and Fog 

                                          .... and still uncomfortably warm .

           Yesterday , I did get round to thinning out the grapes at last .

                       A few for me and a few for the Blackbird .

 I don't really mind if the birds take them all . It has been a very hard drought and heatwave for them this year .

The grape vine really could do with a frame of some sort after the old one fell down during a storm last year . 

It couln't be fixed sadly .

And while money is a bit short , it will just have to continue to scrabble through the bushes and up into the sycamore trees as nature intended .  🍇

The Pumpkins are coming !   At last !

I thought I'd grow a couple to give to the children to carve Jack'o'lanterns for Hallow'een . 🎃🦇👻🎃

 

                      I do hope they grow a little bit bigger !    🤔

                These are supposed to be those giant pumpkins !   🤣

  It's very early and I expect this mist will soon burn off as the sun comes up .

                              Still waiting for rain ! 

                               Peace and Love 🕊️🤍

I think the Weather is Changing ! ⛅

We had a very brief mizzle shower and I am really hoping we may get some proper rain in the coming next few days .

Still picking some nice vegetables .

 

Today's "must do today " job is to thin out the grapes on the grape vine .🍇

One of my young Hostas " Golden Dragon Tails " was looking a bit poorly and so I decided to tip it out and change the compost . 

 There were some sort of insects at the bottom , which the Robin enjoyed after I tipped it all out .

         Golden Dragon Tails is one of my favourite Hostas .

                   The roots look o.k. so hopefully I got to it in time .

                                Peace and Love and Rain 🕊️🤍⛈️
