🌿Yellow Archangel 💛🌿

 

               On the kitchen windowsill ....

Garlic , glass with Celery , Bottle of Baby Bio house-plant food , empty little jar for collecting seeds , Staghorn fern baby , candle for when I'm chopping onions , St Francis , strange stones found on the beach , little pottery vase with wild flower of the week , pretty picture of a Robin ,  ancient pottery sherds found in the garden , piece of a Rhamphorhynchus upper beak found at Charmouth , nice piece of red serpentine and a nice view of my bird feeding station ......while I'm doing the washing up .

💛My Wild Flower of the Week  

 How I love this golden wild flower .


                              💛   The gorgeous Yellow Archangel  💛

Proper name -  Lamium galeobdolon ssp.argentatum  .......the one with pretty variegated leaves .

✨✨✨Said to protect against evil spirits ✨✨✨

"galeobdolon "- meaning smells like a weasel - I have not yet investigated this fact - I will up date you on this !  

 If I can catch one ! 🦦🦦🦦


Actually , these are the cheeky Polecats that we saw playing in the garden last year (end of May/June).
 I have yet to snap a good picture of the Stoats ......I am guessing that Polecats , Stoats and Weasels all smell pretty much the same .


                                              Polecat 


                                       Anyway ... Yellow Archangel 💛

                One of my favourites and I don't care where it rambles ! 

                                                        🌿💛🌿

    1. I'm always finding things , fascinating little bits of the past . Nothing really valuable . Things that tell in some small way about the people that lived here before me .

    1. Hi Sue and Martyn 🌼🪻🌷I just light an unscented tea light on a saucer and place it near to the chopping board and the flame burns off the eye watering onion vapours . It's all go, go , go now in the veg garden isn't it ? ☀️..and I think the sun is going to be out for everyone all week ! Yay ! Have a great week . x
