The watcher


The gardener came yesterday. She’s dead-heading all the lavender. She started last week. This time she’s onto the horseshoe raised bed.

As she snips someone comes to watch & patiently sits on the stone wall of the raised bed. It is an adult frog.

Carol, our gardener, snips on. I slip off for the camera. The frog continues to watch patiently. I get a photo of him.

As Carol moves nearer, to the lavender immediately in front of him, he leaps off & disappears into the already cut lavender. The odd stalk wobbles as he passes along the bed.

It was lovely to see him so clearly.
