I can never remember whether fushsias are spelt this way or fuchsia I think maybe the second one is right. Maybe someone can help me out. Either way they are flowering like mad at the moment.
I didn't have a good start to the day today. When I got up we had no power and I couldn't even have my morning cup of tea.
It is so cold and not like Spring at all. We have had rain for the last two days and it is still bucketing down and we are still in lockdown. I can cope with all of these on occasion, but not all in one day.
Luckily once we got out the camping stove to make a cup of tea, lit the wood burner fire and sat in the warmth, the cold weather outside, rain and lockdown didn't feel so bad after all.
The power returned after about 3 hours, so all is well again.
@jamibann@ludwigsdiana thanks, yes I figured which was the correct spelling once I had written it. I think the cold and wet weather had fuddled my brain ha ha
glad you got the power back and survived the bad start. I watched a fuchsia burst open from its lantern shape the other day - it was really special to observe.
I am so thankful for our wood stove because even when the power goes out we have heat. Glad to hear your power came back on in good order. As for the spelling, I do know the latter is how you spell the color. So if the plant is spelled the same way, then it's fuchsia. I love the color on this- great shot!
@olivetreeann I am thankful for the wood burner too. We have had a long wet winter this year and got through so much wood. Luckily we had a good supply.
Camping at home. With all these lockdowns any change is an adventure. I’m glad you got to warm your tea. I can’t ever spell that word either, but the spell checker seems to fix it for me. Love the full screen shot of the fuchsia.
The colours, violet and bright pink that these flowers do so well at!
@wakelys It is supposed to be warm now and we shouldn't have our wood burner lit at this time in September.
@maggiemae I figured the spelling once I had written it. I think I just had a senior moment.
@pusspup It is probably all the damned rain we have had.
@casablanca I hope you are taking the medication, I am posting a week of flowers. ha ha
