Gosh yesterday was HOT!
We again spent the day in the garden.
The grass in the orchard was cut by Hubby, and at about 4pm I couldn't resist it any longer.
Tools down and I went to lie on a blanket under the apple tree.
The sky above me was as blue as blue could be.
High in the sky the house martins were busy swooping in circles giving an aerial display.
And on the apple blossom the air was a buzz with bees and hoverflies, collecting the nectar and helping to pollinate the flowers.
Lucy spent the day with us too.
she kept trying to find a spot not too hot, not too shady
eventually she went to bed!
I think Lucy had the right idea. It's hot here today and my 6 kitties are spread out trying to stay cool. Poor little dears. I certainly would NOT want to wear a fur coat in this heat.

Lucy's markings are wonderful... like an ocelot.
ReplyDeleteThe garden is a perfect place to savour the bees buzzing, the sun shining and the scents of the air.
Enjoy your week.

My 4 cats have looked far more comfortable today, it's been cooler and we've had a breeze that we did not have yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI did dye some roving yesterday and it dried in no time.

Looks like you had a lovely day.

Great to see you getting some heat and sunshine after the horrendous winter you suffered through. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt was way too warm for me! But I suppose now I'll complain that it's too cold....well I am English & that's what we do, do we not?! Did hubby join you on the blanket? LOL...xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn,
ReplyDeletePromise me in the summer, you'll let me come up and do a collage of your garden - and don't feed me any lemon drizzle cake until I do! It's sooooo lovely! x
What a pretty little tabby you have there .... Ambercat seems to like sunbathing, she is moulting really badly poor thing and does really enjoy being stroked with a wet cloth!
ReplyDeleteIt was a totally perfect weekend and you made the most of it I see. Lets hope thats there is more to come. I had a bit of a scare in the garden at the weekend when a huge swarm of bees flew overhead - thankfully, they just flew by. Good luck for this week. xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely day Lyn. We had a fan going under the giant parasol and the cats and dogs soon moved in!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was hot but wonderful to thrown open doors and window and move outside, well unless you are a cat that is. Glad you made the most of it, your garden looks beautiful and very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good rest, it was lovely to look at the blue sky sitting on your blanket!

My two Rhodesian Ridgebacks love the sunshine, they always find themselves the sunniest, most sheltered spot and sprawl across the grass for hours.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so beautiful!
Thank you for your well wishes for my move to Wales.
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful photographs here. You are blessed by nature xxJ
What a perfect day! Henrycat tried to find shade in our garden and eventually he gave up too!
ReplyDeleteTruly a perfect day!!!
ReplyDeleteWarm Wishes,

If only I could have a walk around your garden….it looks beautiful. I was working in my garden at the weekend, it was soooooooooooooo hot.
ReplyDeleteLove Lou xxx
your garden looks amazing and to lie underneath an apple tree in blossom - bliss
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect day you look to have had. I'm waiting for our apple tree to be big enough to sit under! Archie was so excited to be out he didn't seem to mind the heat, although he's more comfortable now it's cooler - he would love that feather on your latest post - have a really good time away. xx
ReplyDeleteBliss.
