On Monday after a lovely time spent at my allotment I came home
and made a cup of and went into my into my front room to see the setting sun in
the west lighting my room with a rich golden light. It caught my
sun catcher and shards and shafts of light were shimmering round the room. The moment was magical and I was grateful for
the sun after so many dull grey weeks.
Earlier at my plot the borage growing round the strawberry bed had been alive
with bees busy foraging, there were bumble
bees, honey bee, leaf cutter bees, hoverflies and here and there were butterflies
In a brief span of time I saw three small tortoiseshell butterflies emerging in the
bright sunlight. It was months since I
had seen so many butterflies as the warm
sunny weather this week brought them out from the shelter of their cocoons.
Tortoiseshell butterflies were
once a common sight in gardens and the country side, but because of the
cold dry weather in 2011 and the cold wet months of April, June and July in this year they have been badly affected and
are in decline as are so many other butterflies. Giving space to a wild flower meadow had created
a wild life haven were a dozen or more
butterflies flew and danced over my plot stopping on the blue hyssop flowers, then
onto the red clover before resting on the yellow daisies growing from the bee
seed mix I had scattered amongst my fruit tree.
I love days like
this with the peace and serenity of working on my plot on a lovely Summer's day and then coming
home to a sun filled room. The final end
to a perfect day was to see the new moon rising as I walk with Pops in streets
lit by a moonlight and the rays of the setting
sun.
