Venturing out of the cottage in the late afternoon yesterday to refill the birdbaths and to check that the chickens had survived the heat I was greeted by a mesmerising sky and a single pink and grey galah.
The bird grateful for fresh cool water, the chickens all terribly hot but thankfully all okay. Keeping the garden alive is my priority at the moment, the heat sucking any trace of moisture out of the ground by early morning. During the summer months I let the grass dieback as trying to maintain a green lush lawn takes too much water. Thankfully after all of the trees had a growth spurts this winter there is a lot more shade in the garden, not that it makes it that much cooler, it does though stop the more delicate plants from burning. Apparently we are in for a cooler day today, I most certainly will appreciate a break from the intense heat of recent days.....
