Teasel

Not only are these a lovely purple colour when in flower but they dry to perfection.

Today has been another day of raking up the cut grass in the wild flower field and these are on the other side of the fence trying to get in for next year.

I had a conversation with my mother on the telephone and heard how pleased she was to have met someone yesterday.

At the end of the day another short stint of gardening at a friend's helped to make her smile despite all the unpleasant things that are on her mind and in her life at the moment.
