April showers in May and temperatures changing by over ten degrees from one morning to the next. The seasons seem to be all over the place in our part of the world and it’s not difficult to see why. At least, there’s cold comfort in knowing that if the North and South Poles are beginning a melt-down we’ll be, at our height of around 1,500 feet, well above the threatened flood levels (if we’re still around that is).
We went down to one of our fields in the company of our calico cat, Carlotta, yesterday afternoon between one thunderclap and the other, one brisk shower after another. The object of the exercise was to cut the grass but (apart from the lawnmower refusing to start) I didn’t cut it.
The reason is easy to see. The meadows were a rainbow of colours filled with wild-flowers that in England would be National Trust protected. So I left well-alone and gazed in admiration at nature’s gorgeous spectacle.
Field flowers are always mostly interesting they fill areas with natural colour you can find the basic plants such as original carnations pansies field orchids yellow broom pansies and much more. It is certainly good to allow areas to grow au naturel it allows the area to generate other species of plants through birds planting them it is always interesting to see how areas evolve also how modern varieties have been evolved from these basic plants.
Thanks for your evocative reply.
