Hello friends.
It has been very quiet in this small corner, and there is very little for me to say this week. I've just been trying to stay cool.
It has been a quick stroll around the garden in the early morning to check on the plants and to pick the Sweet Peas that are appearing daily in abundance. They are benefiting from the grey water from the kitchen sink and are flowering profusely.
For the rest of the week, I stayed inside, which gave me the opportunity to read a whole book, which is a rare treat for me. I do enjoy James Patterson's books and like the very short chapter style.

Thank you. What a nice flowers! Love them
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting here, Aritha and for your kind comment about the Sweet Peas.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful. I think many of us just stayed indoors out of the blistering heat. We sat in front of fans and did as little as we could get away with.
ReplyDeleteWe never seem to be ready for this type of weather but it really has been very hot hasn't it. This week looks a little cooler but we will have to wait and see.
DeleteThe flowers 💐 are beautiful. It is really hot 🔥 🥵 and humid 😫 here in Montreal as well and it is not supposed to let up for at least another week. Thank you 😊 🙏 💓 for sharing this. Stay well hydrated and safe.
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you this week, Linda and hope you can find a little cool spot to rest in. It should be less hot here. Glad you enjoyed my short post and the Sweet Peas which are so wonderfully scented.
DeleteTake care in the heat. 😊
My sweet peas are doing so well and scenting my patio outside the kitchen. The only problem is.....they are all white. I sowed colours but none have appeared!
ReplyDeleteThat is unusual to have all white Sweet Peas but they are obviously just as beautfully scented as coloured ones.
DeleteQuiet here too, coping with the heat and reading, take care and have a good week:)
ReplyDeleteIt really has been too hot for most of us this week hasn't it. However sitting down and simply reading has been an unexpected pleasure that I need to find more time to do. Have a good week, Rosie. 😊
DeleteSweet-peas are the perfect cut flower, sadly they never last long, we have watched tennis for the past two weeks.
ReplyDeleteSweet Peas are so wonderfully scented and as they are just outside the back door, I can pick a few every day. Glad you enjoyed the tennis.
DeleteYour sweet peas are gorgeous, I can just imagine the lovely scent from them :-) Mine have been very poor this year and I've missed them. It's supposed to get a bit cooler over the next few day thank goodness, we aren't geared up for the high temperatures we've been having. Take care
ReplyDeleteHoping that Monday has started a bit cooler for you. It certainly feels better here and there is a lovely breeze at the moment. I didn't think our Sweet Peas were going to do well this year and then suddenly they surprised me. They have had plenty of grey water from the kitchen sink which I think has helped and of course I'm picking every day to keep the blooms going for as long as possible. Hopefully next year your Sweet Peas will be much better. Enjoy your week and take care.
DeleteIt's forecast rain tomorrow thank goodness. I'm wilting in the heat
ReplyDeleteNo rain here yet but it is a much better temperature today. Rain is forecast for tomorrow. We need some rain and so does the garden! Hope you are feeling better today.
DeleteYour sweet peas are lovely, such a nice mix of colours.
ReplyDeleteOur weather really has been too hot hasn't it!
Thank goodness for fans, they do help.
Take care and enjoy the coming new week.
All the best Jan
It is always a lovely surprise to see the colours in the Sweet Peas and the scent is almost intoxicating. Not to everyones taste but I love it.
DeleteFans have been so good over the last few days and although we don't use them often, they have been a huge help over the last few days.
Have a lovely week.
Definitely a week to stay indoors and read. I’ve just devoured Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley. An excellent summer read. B x
ReplyDeleteIt was far too hot to be outside and I really enjoyed the time reading. Thank you for your reading suggestion. Have a good week, Barbara.
DeleteDoing my best to keep cool. My sweet peas never germinated. I have no idea why...
ReplyDeleteWhoops! Sorry Angela. My reply to you is a bit further down. I hit a wong button by mistake.
DeleteThe blooms are SO pretty and that books looks Good! I love J Patterson!
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
hugs
Donna
Sweet Peas do have some very pretty colours - I love them all. I have only read a few of James Patterson's books so far but I have enjoyed them all. Have a lovely week. 😊
DeleteHopefully it is cooler today where you are, Angela. Shame about your Sweet Peas, thay are beautiful flowers. I always start mine off in old toilet roll centres to allow the roots to develop. I just push two seeds in per roll and am careful with the watering until they germinate. Maybe next year will be a better year to try again. I hope you have more success with them.
