You're smart to take your walks before the heat gets too bad, safer and easier on the body for sure.<br /><a href="https://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2022/07/knitting-watching-exercising-and-audio.html" rel="nofollow">Sandy's Space</a>Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-79354316526575150722022-07-18T18:59:00.900+01:002022-07-18T18:59:00.900+01:00Thank you Simone, how wonderful to have all those ...Thank you Simone, how wonderful to have all those butterflies and the moth too, I will look it up to see what it looks like. We have just a few white ones at the moment. Such a good idea to block your window with brown paper, that should absorb some of the heat. Very hot here now aout 35 degrees outside and 28 in the house.

The house is so hot that I have this morning taped brown paper all over a south facing upstairs window that has no curtains! My garden is full of gatekeeper butterflies - dozens of them! I think they must have come from the grasses and found the marjoram which is in full flower. I like your moth. We had a jersey tiger moth in the garden yesterday. Your vegetables are doing well too and it looks like you will have a lot to harvest over the coming month. xSimonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-16111012783075186092022-07-18T09:12:40.079+01:002022-07-18T09:12:40.079+01:00Thank you CK, the yellow sunflower was a surprise ...Thank you CK, the yellow sunflower was a surprise as the seeds were from a packet of the darker ones we grew last year.

The Cosmos and sweet peas have been wonderful this year. I'm not looking forward to the heat today and tomorrow and I'm already struggling a bit with beathing etc. Take care:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-1981213171937543412022-07-17T15:28:29.658+01:002022-07-17T15:28:29.658+01:00Gorgeous!
