Caught out in the cool of the evening

We’d been working hard in the garden, but not all day. The weather was far too hot earlier today. Starting at 7pm, we tidied, swept, dead-headed, getting ready for our forthcoming Solstice shindig on Midsummer Eve.

Then just before 10pm, we sat out in the creeping dusk for a coffee and chat.

Our fabulous white rose pinged out of the fading light, while a huge flock of unknown small fluttery birds fluttered south across a still blue sky. And the bats batted like crazy, catching their prey on the wing. And I thought “Howzat! for a lovely summer’s evening!”
