on guard

This lion sculpture sits on our front door step. Had him for quite a few years. I bought him because he reminded me of one of our dogs, Jasper, who had died the year before. Not that Jasper looked like a lion, but there was something about it that reminded me of him.

We have bright blue sky and sunshine today. Have planted the runner beans, Italian beans, a few broad beans, second sowing of radishes and a couple of tubs of potatoes.
