I spent a large portion of the day reading in the garden and enjoying the flowers and fish…

as the afternoon progressed I watched the morning glories close up… it reminded me of all the days when I worked and how, by the time I got home, they were all done…

this morning I took a photo of the butterfly bench with a number of blooms on it…

currently the majority of the blooms are the large blue ones with a few smaller purple ones still popping out…

by late this afternoon they had all shrivelled up…

what a treat to be able to enjoy them from start to finish;-)…
