Sunrises are definitely a happy place for me.

Yes! In my 'secret garden'. This one didn't flower last year, but these (there are actually two flowers although the angle is wrong to see them) are flowering well. There were two previous flowers (seeds?!) and maybe a couple more to some. Other than the odd lavenderish coloured opium poppy self seeding from an ancient sowing in the old polytunnel, I only have the wild perennial Welsh poppies here I think. I'm not sure whether this one will turn out to be properly perennial. The first blue one I had died after flowering, but I'm ever hopeful!

Finding a shady spot right by the river, surrounded by happy kids we don't know, to plop the chairs, then swimming in said river in the sunshine and afterwords eating jalapeno kettle chips and drinking strawberry lemonade out of faire bottles in the early evening.

Celtic/fantasy/folk/shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, and other events in OR and WA, USA.

Yes, but was the frog happy to be there?

You'd have thought it would be a bit warm and dry wouldn't you? but the polytunnel isn't sealed around the edges yet so he can get in and out, and the soil needs to be damp for the plants (I plant in soil, not pots). He jumped in the pond when he saw me (and was gone this morning). I used to have a toad living in my old tunnel, so I'm happy to have in-tunnel pest control
