Garden fruits

Just harvested from our rambling garden and made into a gluten and wheat free crumble. The enjoyment is in the discovery of the fruits and picking them!

Ravishing Lavender

Ravishing Lavender,
Rosy mauve,
Tickling noses,
Tantalizing tints
Of Pistachio, mint
And palest lawn cotton:
A lemony memory
Never forgotten.

Soulful Roses

Soulful roses,

Lover’s tipsy posies

They sip dewy petal potions

As their rouched lips

Whisper

A tryst…

Betroval.

 

Sweet Pea tea

Chintzy courtyard,

Ritzy lilies,

Hints of lemon tart

Wistfully wafting,

China chiming,

Parchment parasol shadows,

Jelly coloured geraniums,

Mellow ruby port hydrangeas,

Sweet pea treats,

Tea rose wreaths.

Lazy Sunday: Amazing Amethyst Floral display

Amazing Amethyst floral display,
Whimsical,
Mysterious,
Blazing,
Star gazing.
A glorious array!

Happy blazing June, at last. May the sun shine on all of us!

Lyrical Lilac

Lilac lyrically
Soothes the
Humble Bumble,
Busily mumbling
And tumbling
In a jumbled
Shoal of sherbet,
Elfin confectionery.
Lilac starlets
For Fairy Queen’s
Tartlets.

Folklore describes the lilac tree as bringing peace and harmony. It represents spring having arrived and draws protective spirits into our lives. The lilac is buzzing with nature spirits where music is always being played bringing harmony into our lives.

Caribbean Cavalcade

Caribbean cavalcade

Firework orange,
Exuberantly tangy
Swirling skirts.
Dangling, jangling
Luscious lime
Headresses;
Timely,
Shimmy and shake:
Elegantly fading
Into the midnight
Glade.

Fanciful Fritillary

Fanciful Fritillary
Smiles through bonnet,
Seated playing her Lyre,
Sweetly lilting a sonnet.
Swaying in glittering rays,
Fairy messengers
Sing songs of praise.
Tingling, mingling,
The hazy day’s
Healing ways:
Fairies linger
Stroking Fritillaries
Stamens.

Merry Mahonia

Merry Mahonia,
Citrus signature,
Nestling in
Evergreen;
Bursting brightly,
Refreshingly gleaming,
Illuminating
Dull misty
Days.
