Parley, Sage, Rosemary and ...

Seems I'm on a bit of a roll here - of flowers, accompanied by relationship stories...

Saw that our thyme had flowered today - didn't know their flowers were yellow. This plant was given to me by my sister and her husband (who live in Texas) when they came here after a holiday in Provence, so feels like a bit of France in my garden, as well as a link with my sister.

My other sister, who lives in Florida, arrived today to visit our Mum, who is doing well in hospital. Other than that, spent most of day at our daughter's house, stripping walls and mowing the lawn, while our nephew plasterboarded their bedroom ceiling. And then a riotous dinner of leftovers from yesterday, out in our garden
