Rain


At last we have some rain.

When we bought the plants for the front garden last month, we also bought an insect house. Over the weekend we spotted one bee had discovered it. Yesterday I found another hole was being explored by a bee. Hopefully they’ve managed to find their new housing just in time for them to have shelter from the rain. It’s rather fun seeing their backsides wriggling away as they make their way up the hollow tubes or bored out holes. We’re now wondering if we should buy a few more such insect hotels to scatter around the garden.

Meanwhile the red azaleas, front & back, are in bloom & the peachy rhododendron is opening up in the back garden. The rain I’m sure will give an extra spurt to all the plants.
