As I meander through my garden
I see the iris looking like the
fleur de lys
this iris hasn't totally bloomed and
needs some straigthening,
at least it's close for me to sniff.
the white violets so intrigue me
as they do every year
ajuga standing stalwart
one lonely buttercup
don't tell Jim
he'll pull it out!
pale pink Oriental poppy caught my attention
the swath of forget-me-knots are all but gone now
putting on an enormous show
I lose myself in our Georgian blue veronica.
It's so very easy to do.
Dandelions just give me a zing and a kick.
but most of all
I enjoying sprawling in the grass
on a hot summer's day.
Inhale the sweet smell of fresh grass
and
slip off to dreamland
for a few Zzzzzzz's
I'm sure you were checking for marauders in your garden while out there....makes taking that nap a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteMauraders really should ask before they leap...at least in my eyes!
DeleteSuch a beautiful place to explore! It's wet and rainy here today. :(
ReplyDeleteTropical Storm Debbie needs to go to bed!!Take care!

I`ve been dreaming all day it seems.....I was a lazy dazy doodle all day...really! Sorry to hear your temp is so low...we are near 19-20 C...up and down like a yoyo!
DeleteCheers Sophie!
Hey Sophie!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a pretty garden! I don't have much luck here in my territory...too many trees and not enough sun through the leaves. I bet you had a wonderful nap! Grass is so soft and comfy.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
We have very little grass and so when the sun shines I sprawl as soon as it hits this fave piece of green grass. I love to rest and get ready for more sniffing...everyone should have a routine!
DeleteHi Sophie - Monty Dog here. You are such a lady. I spend my time seeking out birdie doos and fox poo and rolling in it so that it makes my Mumu scream and Daddy has to come with the flannel thing! Happy sniffing. Monty.
ReplyDeleteOh Monty...YOU are my kind of doggy friend...I went rolling on something today at the park...I loved it!
DeleteSounds heavenly. I could get used to that!
ReplyDeletem.
Always room for one more on my piece of grass...Mark..anytime!
DeleteSophie , picture last but one , Wow what a pretty one you are. Huh well peed now I have such competition. So use to seeing action pics of you I didn't realise I have to watch my steps in the modelling world. Arrgh the boys are going to be beating at your door. Thank goodness there isn't a pretty girl event in the BO2012 , as I'd be very worried. Have a good day and thanks re my mix up with Saturday steps.

ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

DeleteHi Sophie
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful.
My mama pulls the buttercups too, she said they take over everthing.
I also like laying in the sweet grass- like you,

tweedles
Yes...buttercups make pretty yellow colours under your chin but CHOKE out everything with a smile!
DeleteYou have a great garden Sophie! Lovely flowers. Our dachshunds have to stay inside because of a lots of raining. SUmmer feelings aren´t there. Last time yesterday for the summer we went to dog training. We saw lots of wild animals after a photo trip around the countryside...Trym is standing in his cage and barking at the. He knows what it is :-)
ReplyDeleteYour life is so busy, Lindsjo! That is so important and the dogs will love it too. Trym seems to know what is going on with the wild animals around!
DeleteHi , pop over we have an award for you to collect.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Hopping over soon....gots to wake up first!
DeletePugs says that you need a shadier spot to sleep. You'll catch on fire in the sun.
ReplyDeleteOur summer sun gets super douper hot only for a few weeks in late July and early August...so I'll definitely be careful then, but for now a lazying around and just can't seem to wake up.....Zzzzzzzzz!
