It’s the first weekend of the school holidays, and the clocks went forward last night. Awake early (old-time early), I have been for a walk, enjoying my neighbours’ gardening skills.
For perhaps the first time ever, I met no-one. I saw and heard no cars. Truly a silent Sunday.

Is that a ranunculus, Su? I had a hard time getting them to grow. Probably planted them in the wrong place.

I’m hopeless with plant names Leslie. Kiki (below) thinks it is. It was in a neighbour’s garden, but I don’t know them to go and ask. And I suspect they might have been a bit annoyed as it was so early in the morning. ๐ ๐

I know that feeling – when school is back and quiet ends – for us it is after school busses do their pickups…
and laughed with this:

and it is a reminder that gardener’s may garden for self – but they bless the hood too

Already Sunday where you live, Su?! It seems to me as if you like the change over in time. I still have to get used to the constant switching from standard time and day-light saving. Best wishes! Peter

Thanks Peter.
I think you are about 20 hours behind us (Pacific Daylight Time?).
I used to dislike daylight saving, especially when my son was little and it was so difficult to get him to go to bed while it was light, and I really liked being able to go walking early in the morning. But now I appreciate the long evenings more.

oh it’s a ranunculus, on the small screen I thought it was one of those thousand-petalled late rose…. I have usually a few roses to bloom into late November – and after the awfully hot and dry summer we had I had little hope of any roses – but hey, they are already there, again! Bliss
Have a lovely (end of your) Sunday!

Thanks so much Kiki. I am pretty hopeless with plant names. One day, I will devote time to developing a flower garden but until then I just appreciate my neighbours’ efforts. ๐ Hope you enjoyed your Sunday. Wishing you a great week ahead.

Bliss. I love the quiet which prevails in the school holidays (traffic-wise, at least.).

Me too. I don’t have to schedule appointments into quite such a small time-window. There are so many schools around here, and no-one seems to walk or cycle to school much anymore.
