Eighteen for August

Not much to say this time—last weekend was mostly spent catching up in the garden, after the rain caused a surge in growth. Nothing dramatic, just the usual: weeding, deadheading, mowing, tidying up. The kind of stuff that’s enjoyable enough to do but soul-destroyingly boring to write about, let alone read. I swept grass clippings off the path… Zzzzzz! Torture. So I’m not going to write about any of that.

Instead, I’ve stolen an idea from other blogs—a trend called Six on Saturday: six photos, posted on… a Saturday (revelation). I liked the concept, so I pinched it. But I’ve gone a bit rogue. Eighteen for August. Because, why not! August was a good month, and I took too many photos. Here are eighteen of them.
