Rolled wrapped and pressed
In Aran knit
And Fair Isle stitch

The feeder has been out there for a month stuffed with thistle seed to attract the finches but there has not been a sign of interest from any bird ~ until yesterday. A goldfinch, in the middle of cold rain ! and today in a tiny piece of sun  he brought a friend along….

Gill McGrath© July  28 Result.  Yay!

pass by sweet rosemary…

pass by sweet rosemary
the running cabbages
the beans with strings
keep to the path
you’ll find a field
a secret garden filled
with dancing poppies
but take care….
