I took this tonight as I sat in the evening sun after supper.
We have to move down the garden as the sun goes behind the house but it’s a lovely time when all work done & dusted for the day.
I was watching the bees around this clover…..managed to get down on my dodgy knee but then the bees flew off!
Mowing grass day tomorrow I think!
It’s a little bit longer just now as Harry thinks it’s not good to be too short when it’s so dry & sunny.
I must say we have been watching lots of bird life pecking at the grass…starlings & mummy pigeon bath pecking at tiny yellow seed heads.
It’s interesting.
A friends funeral in Retford today…..thankfully we were able to follow on line with a link to the crematorium. RIP Roy.
Nicely captured clover. Pity about the bee but nice the have time to watch the wildlife. My Mum's favourite poem started with
'What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?'
Our daughter read it out at her funeral
Love clover. We used to suck the flowers when we were little and get the lovely sweet taste.....I'm not sure if I fancy doing it now 😂
I was watching a bee today too.... just along from where I was, on my knees weeding. It seemed on a mission!
But I wonder where the ladybirds are this year ....we had lots last year but....
@sarah19 A few people are saying where are the insects this year but it’s lovely weather but still cold in the morning in the shade. I have never ever heard of sucking clover….think I will give that a miss!
Lovely close up. Our grass will be left longer now as we are in winter. We try to keep it longer during the winter months and then leave the grass cuttings on the lawn to help fertilize the soil.
@maggiemae It’s not often we have clover on ours but I’ve been truly amazed at the insects around! For the first time I can see the benefit of longer grass! I’m only talking around two inches but it’s made a difference! I think it will be iff today although Harry has a pre op today. Hernia thus time!🤦♀️🤦♀️
That clover is lush and lovely. I once put my hand on a bee as a child when I was sitting on the lawn, so I don't walk barefoot in grass these days! But I love bees still and I love clover.
