These last days of May

These last days of May we are watching the swallows fledge

Sorry for the poor photographs, wrong light in the barn
and the adults swooping through the door are just too

The delightful perfume of wallflowers has been greeting my return home for a few weeks now, they are planted by the front door and their fragrance is wonderful.

Apple Blossom - Day Seven of a Week of Flowers

Our week of flowers started with plum blossom

so it seems somehow fitting to end it with the

and trouble to leave us so many encouraging comments.

Back next week with I don't know what -

but there is a nest outside the back door...

A week of flowers - Plum Bossom

Plum Blossom from the orchard
