native bluebells

and this is the native bluebell, slender, with all of its flowers to one side.

one more balm

OK I know it's boring but you've got to get it just so. At least I don't have to tell you what it is anymore.

training

Sundays:-It is so wet and miserable today that we have had to amuse ourselves by training the boss. Here he is giving us a Bonio after a lot of whining and moaning (it takes a lot of effort, really) when he knows he should be taken for a walk but he insists on standing at the window and talking about moving to France. Will he take me? Should I be worried? I hear the poodles there are very haughty. Is that halo above his head significant?

aliens have landed

harri appears to have grown a middle hind leg. And she still can't catch me.

more bastard balm

a better (less rain and wind) picture of this beautiful rare deadnettle.

creeping jenny

the only Jenny I know is no creep. Why creeping jenny I know not but it was also known as motherwort, roving sailor, and meadow runagates, presumably because it creeps all over the place. It is very similar to yellow pimpernel (none in flower round here yet) but characteristically as here the flowers are only half open. The woods are full of it now.
