The words of that fabulous old Beatles tune ring so true the older one gets.
Remembering to truly appreciate the simple things that this life has to offer.
It's hard to believe that just four days ago we had the central heating on full blast and in the last few days we have glorious sunny weather at 30°.
The first dry day we had was on Wednesday and the grass was looking like a wheat field. It was so tall. Cutting wet grass is a non starter for me. It's way too claggy.
So the next day the sun shone again and we whipped out the lawnmower.
We passed the mower over the grass twice, once high and then low settings to get it down to lawn level.
It was a mission accomplished moment.
Today (Saturday) we saw the first flowers spring up and of course they were the 'weeds'.
We are of the belief that there is no such thing as a weed! We are not farmers or growing food plants at the moment.
They are beautiful if you take the time to look at them and they are great at improving the soil as they fix nitrogen and they attract insects.
We can learn a lot from weeds. They are tough, resilient and early colonisers of new territories.
So "doing the garden and digging the weeds" for me means.
Enjoying the weeds and appreciating their valuable contribution.
Have a fab day and sing along with the Beatles.
30 degrees in April ... wow. I am learning so much on steemit. Do you know you can deep-fry dandelion flowers and eat them on salad of their leaves. Dandelions aren't weeds but food for the bees too:) One of the first source of food for pollinators. So get out your deep fryer ... the larder full ... LOL.
Seriously though these are some lovely photos. I especially the one of the d'lion:)
I have a garden full of dandelions. I'll eat like a king all summer with your recipe :)
I took a similar photograph yesterday. :P I've always liked daisy's and I have heard tale that a tea can be made from them.
I heard that too. Must hunt down a few more recipes :) I've got loads of them :)
Oh, I'm always happy to see I am not the only one who appreciates dandelions! I expect to see them here next week! Who could ask for more, indeed!
I think you can make tea with them too. We are showered in abundance :)
Lol... great song..haha love this.
Just had my birthday ..not 64 yet but not far...and my husband has a birthday coming up this week...he will be 60 years young.
get shots ..we are still awaiting spring..almost here
We seem to have gone straight into summer and missed spring altogether? Glad you liked the sing-a-long :)
You are warmer in the street. I have not blossomed so many flowers in my summer cottage. Beautiful pictures. Good luck!
It's so much better to have a little sunshine after such a long winter. Nice to see any colour at all in the garden. :)
I agree with you. I want warmth and lots of sunshine.
