gloomy sunday


and very very quiet
after all the drama and trauma
for some
of the last week out there in real life
just 50 miles North of us
people seem to be just chillin'
and it's going to start up again on
Thursday
when they find out exactly what it is they did
and the question is
what exactly do they do
anyway?





so I thought we'd go for a walk in the cloudy dismal day
and see what we can find
OH
a vole hole
how unusual


but it still hasn't found this one
so shhhh!!
let's not attract attention here

over in the other bed is the clematis that is supposed to bloom
in summer
well the way things are nowadays
it's ready to do its thing
now



and there it is
the only lonely solitary bloom
a little frayed around the edges now
but still standing!!!



and it has neighbours that suddenly popped up


 the Japanese Maple is making exotic looking origami birds on its branches
!!!

and who knew it flowered
see how overcast and grey it is....


next season's holly berries
on their way

and down at the bottom of the garden
:)
one other single solitary little lady
just one


but there are others still furled and curled

and our tree and the neighbours tree, that we actually gave them years ago
in full flower now
shame the sun isn't out

and my gentle giant
making sneezy little things



bad shot but the clematis that is supposed to bloom now
not doing it

and one
May apple that has so far escaped those little munchers
but you can see a hole there underneath it
probably not long for this world

and lastly for today
the lillies that the husband likes so much
are breaking through

think I'll dig them up and pot them

....................................................................................

nice to see you!!!!

:)
