Funny how a little conversation can trigger a flood of memories.  When I was around 14 years old the family and I went to visit family living in Canada.  A fun filled time with snow, shorts and cowboy stuff.  Great.  My Aunty died many years later and in her memory I planted a honeysuckle and a clematis.  Every year these two plants flower like crazy and I can sit on my front porch and remember. 

Flowers to make you welcome

One of the best things about summer is being able to spend lots of time outside without the need for loads of clothes to keep you warm and that colour comes back into the world.  Have been out today and purchased some flowers, needed a change and I am happy.  Tomorrow is weed pulling and slug hunting day.  Can't let the small beasties eat the new flowers now can we!
