Any minute now, someone is going to complain about drought and the heat.
;-) This is the third day in a row that we've had lovely sunshine. This
morning there is quite a mist and I'm guessing the roads are foggy because
our papers are very late. But the sun is slowly burning off the mist and
it's obviously going to be gorgeous.
The jackdaws are squabbling and scuffling on top of my chimney and I feel
certain one of them is going to arrive down here any minute!
The downside of all this glory is that it looks as if frost and the heron
got to the frogspawn in the pond and it's all dead. ;-(
And last night, while I was cooking supper, I got a huge fright when there
was a great crash at the window and a startled sparrow hawk sat on top of a
plant pot, getting its breath back and staring in at me. Sparrows nest in
a Rosa bracteata right outside that window and the hawk obviously thought it
had found an easy target. I hope it's decided otherwise after its shock.
