@muzzleloaderjon I’ve had these for quite a long time
I remember years ago when I was at someone’s house and he had two huge greenhouses full of different kinds

Cactus flowers it’s a shame they only last a day

[Al ™ @Allongstaff]

@FrancesBeeton Cacti I would say

[Al ™ @Allongstaff]

@FrancesBeeton They are strange plants you don’t have to do much with them
Little bit water now and then
I think those pots only had one in each they are full now and splitting the pot as they grow

An update and a message from Jeremy.

“Thank you so much for all the kind messages I've had but now, an announcement.”

I cannot describe why the presence of a rather dull brown moth that hovers like a hummingbird fills me with joy each year. But it does.

Am I odd that I love these little markers in the seasons?

Steven likes to sit on the chimney pot and keep toot

@ScarecrowNeste1 @LadyVee67 You all do very well to find them
That place must be an ideal spot
Must be plenty of food around for them 🦋

@FrancesBeeton Ha ha I didn’t notice the air rifle at first 😁
I like the picture of the pond with the fisherman

@FrancesBeeton Hello 👋
The pigeons have eaten most of my gooseberries
They don’t normally bother until they are ripe
Must have been peckish

@Tolltac It’s very rare here maybe once or twice per year in the summer
It’s about 50 tonight

[Al ™ @Allongstaff]

Afternoon walk 🚶

[Al ™ @Allongstaff]

@Tolltac It’s about 60 today but quite windy
Ok when the sun comes out from behind the clouds
93 would be too warm 😁
