A stroll around the field this morning, with Spud the dog
showed me that the grass is not necessarily green
or grass.
What I do know is that everything has grown a lot in the last week.
When it comes to plant species I rarely know what I’m looking at, but it doesn’t matter too much as I’m cultivating a culture of ‘good-enough botany’ (to go with my ‘good-enough DIY’ and ‘good-enough parenting’) the fact is, the field is particularly beautiful at the moment* and that is good enough for me.
This is my cue to introduce you to the Cabinet of Curiosities, a blog that does know what it is talking about. Enjoy.
* as is the weather.

Gorgeous. I love looking at everyone’s photos during this time of year. It’s like awakening season.

Those are really beautiful shots of not-grass. Good enough for me, too!

My daughter sent me this haiku:
“Eyes, back and forth,
nose, up and down -
the flowers of spring!
Onitsura (1660-1738)”

I bet Spud’s nose-view of those fields filled his head with wonderful sniffy smells. I can see why tennis balls become lost things
Lovely photos.

We’re basking at the moment, as well. I did agitate (successfully) to get the grass cut in the garden, as it had taken a turn for the wild after several good days of rain. Mind you, all that rain has the terrain hereabouts looking very lush, with so many shades of green on show.

Wild grasses are wonderful, and I wish that I could grow more of them. Thanks for that blog link. xx
