Box of colour

It was a gloriously hot, sunny day. The solar panels on the roof generated over 30 KWH of electricity ( a record this year). 
We spent a little time working in the  garden this morning. The  blip show one of the boxes at the front of our  house, now full of Californian Poppies, Love- in- a- Mist, Garlic Mustard, Red Valerian and Buttercup which are all self seeded.  
This afternoon in the back garden I spotted what I believe  was a Brown   Argus butterfly (rather than a female Common Blue ) on Cut-leaved  Geranium which  is a food plant of their  caterpillars.  (I took a few photographs, but not good enough definition to be completely sure.)
Martin got the new  scythe out, and successfully cut the grass in the  tortoise's enclosure. Late afternoon, when it was less hot, we went to the wildlife  area,  and he scythed a couple of the over grown paths,  while I raked. We were pleased with the results, so a return visit seems imminent.
