This peony has taken so long to bloom.. Unfortunately the wind and rain over the last two weeks has really battered the plant, and all the stems have collapsed, and are now lying on the ground. I must ensure I support them next year.
We had our first BBQ of the year today. The sun was shining, and it felt almost hot, so we made the decision to have a BBQ. We got the meat out of the deep freeze and left it outside to defrost. When it was time to light the BBQ, the sun disappeared, the breeze came up, and it felt distinctly chilly. But we persevered!! We sat in the garden and really enjoyed the first BBQ of 2009!
I spotted this dome over a fence as I went about my work today. I have no idea what it is, but appeared to be part of a residential property. whatever it is, it's pretty!!
