Stress Busters

We had a stress buster afternoon at work today. there were all sorts of activities to choose from. I led a collage group. Everyone seemed to enjoy it-and some great works of art were created!

Sky

Peony

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.

BBQ

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!

Flower

in my garden-some kind of peony?

More rain

Well, the drying weather didn't last...

Washing

It's a big deal when the weather is good enough to habg the washing outside!
