Phew!!!

Is too darn hot. Yesterday and the day before also.

I have gardened three days this week.

We have a veg plot. And disgruntled hens due to ejection from said plot. (When we put the anti-chicken fence back up, M and I successfully trapped them inside and then had the joyful task of chasing them out again.)

The first sunflower seedlings are coming up, too--for this.

(In other news:

1. Broody hen still broody.


2. I completed a woolly knitted shawl on Monday. [I deny any causal connexion between the completion of warm garment and the sudden arrival of sunny weather.])
