A Battered and Desperate Dryad …

… well I think it is as I haven’t consciously seen these before. The butterflies and bees are crowding round the few flowers that have not succumbed to the heat and my drastic gardening! I always leave what I can for them but they have to fight for their nectar.

My day has not been as intended. I was on my way to the Grand St. Bernard Pass very early and the sign 30 km away said it was open but it wasn’t! I came home having decided to cut back bushes in the garden instead of walking till late afternoon. The hut where I wanted to stay did not answer my phone call till it was too late to go up there by télécabine and the footpath was closed anyway so I ironed. Preston need a vet’s visit after he developed a horrible open wound on his jaw. Poor baby was not happy so it was just as well that I was at home. Hope you have had a good day!
