Back in my Garden

 We,ve painted the summer house ,put up some pretty dolphins , chased away the spiders, moved out our grandsons toy tractor...so now I can sit and relax in there once again.
 Thats my daughters little dog ....and do you like my new summer dress ? I bought it in the CHSW  Childrens Hospice South West shop in Helston....raising money for those short and precious lives and their families .
I am so pleased with it ! It is nice and cool and loose over my sore tummy .
.......and  purple ! : )   I ,ve also got out that old straw hat again . I,m abit of a " Second -hand Rose "
         Aaah ! It's good to see a bit more of the sunshine once again  .

                                                 I,ve been stitching this .....

                                       
              .....but now I,m stitching this ....and as I sat and stitched ,  I looked across the garden and noticed something peculiar going on with this Agave potatorum .

                                                       ....what's going on ?

                                       
                                       It's beginning to put up a flower spire !
       

Meanwhile Outside in the Garden

So as you know I,m recovering from a big operation ..... I think that the last thing I did out here was planting  out Autumn onion sets and my White Foxglove seedlings .
 I had been looking forward to seeing an orchestra of white foxgloves !
Unable to push the lawnmower , my wonderful husband has been taking care of the Labyrinth ...it is looking really good !

         I still cant do very much , but lovely to watch the bees around these flowers , I, ll have lots of seeds to gather for next year .... and maybe some to share  !

I keep telling my husband to keep the garage door closed and make sure there aren't any swallows flown in !  I wouldn't want them to get trapped inside there .

 My favourite rose at the moment is Rosa Glauca .I love its simple pink flower against those gorgeous blue leaves .
Rain coming over night will hopefully bring up the Little Gem Lettuces ,Kale , French , purple podded and runner beans that I,ve sown .
I managed to get a little sleep last night , nice to listen to the rain on my window .
