More paths

We spent an afternoon digging in some unused paving stones to form a path. It is just a short path, but looks much better than the worn grass.
Doesn't it look great?

 

Then there was just enough time and energy to pick this posy.

 

To cut or not to cut.

I think there are two kinds of people - those that like to cut flowers from their garden for inside and those that don't.
I am one of the ones that likes to bring flowers inside the house. I like to have a reminder of what awaits me when I step outside, and I love to have my collection of vases filled with flowers that show them off.

It's also a great opportunity to see what flowers look good together, and a photo is a good reminder of what is blooming at the same time.

My vases are nothing special, but each has a memory. One may have belonged to my mother, or was given to me by a friend. or maybe it is just a bottle I found in the garden when I was digging around.

This collection of monkshood, bergamot, and perennial sunflowers is what greets me these days when I step outside. It doesn't get much more cheerful than this.
