Midsummer...

[curiouswombat]

I should have posted this picture the day I took it, but I got sidetracked.

This is what midsummer's day looked like, in the early afternoon, here on the island.



There is actually a tower on that headland. Honestly. You can see it in this picture that I took a few weeks ago. But the mist was hiding it on June 21st.

I think it could be said that it was not quite summer solstice weather.

Secondly -

But they are well contained and should not take over the whole area like their predecessor!



And thirdly - Shirebound was asking about childhood treasures and memories - I will post mine later - either later tonight, or tomorrow.

It's nice to have plants that thrive in a certain area. Sunflowers are happy here, but their bloom doesn't last like your fuchsias, I'm sure. Our neighbor's sunflowers are happily peeking over our fence right now.

Our neighbour and her toddler, on the upside of the hill, are growing a sun flower in a pot - it is about 4 foot high so far - but no sign of a flower yet - I do hope, for the little one, that it does flower.

I must try to remember to post a picture of my fuchsias by the end of the summer - and the sunflower!
