There are no photographs to record my day. This is an unusual event, I do love a photo opportunity. It is true that I often abuse my camera, it is tricky not to get a little mud/cake/noxious substances on/in it when taking pictures whilst working in a garden. Today, however, things were little extreme to attempt it, even for me. The weather was so dire, with horizontal rain and an ever accelerating storm, that I daren’t remove it from its case, although I was tempted many times. It did not help that it was safely nestled beneath layers of wool and waterproof and my hands were sheathed in gauntlets of sog. So you won’t have any pictures of dismal workers rallying forth in the increasingly muddy garden, pruning, removing, dragging boughs like a trio of chain gangers. Instead I will share with you a photo taken on a more clement occasion and we can dream of such days to come. This periwinkle is poking its head through a prostrate rosemary. It might confuse the easily led.

Pity – would have loved to see the dismal workers rallying forth!

We have the same weather here in Seattle today. A good day to dream of dry flowers and sun.

Lovely combination of flower and leaf, strangely I have both periwinkle and rosemary flowering in my garden right now, though not close together. And mahonia which has never flowered earlier than February before now. Strange weather – and not very nice.

Thank you! Rotten conditions but we got a lot done, I still haven’t dried out yet!

Well done you, I only went out to rescue the occasional flying cold frame, not a day to be gardening, unless you have to of course.

Much better morning so far, off to see what has fallen off what and how!

A hot cup of tea at the end of a “rotten” day would have been welcome.

Yet, again, our weather patterns are synchronized. We had an incredible storm yesterday–buckets of rain and gusts of wind. Our cat was very unhappy about this. I ventured out today and picked up a lot of debris, mostly big blades of grass from the Miscanthus.

It is very odd isn’t it, lives in parallel!
