Summer

The heatwave of the last few weeks is diminishing rapidly. The temperature remains very warm but now the rain seems here to stay. There's a heavy downpour outside, which is great for the garden The plants and flowers bending under heavy ripe flowerheads. The summer solstice has now passed, but the sun remains high in the sky as we hurtle towards Lammas. Even though its shrouded in thick grey rain clouds. Alas its nowhere to be seen albeit for a brief interlude yesterday.

Everything looks lush and green in the garden. Just as it should be. The Land has been fertilised at Beltaine. The seeds planted and the vegetables ripening towards fruition and the inevitable first harvest at Lammas.
