Not been very far this week, so today's silent Sunday thread has a "things I saw in my garden" theme

[miasalt@sunny.garden]

@eclectech That's what my silent Sundays always are

Atm they're going to be "things I saw in my garden *last year*, until I find the bloody cable for the camera. I've just bought a replacement, so I'm sure the original will turn up five seconds before it arrives

Are you well, lovely?

[eclectech@things.uk]

@MiasAlt Hah, oh aye, cables are sneaky wee things like that.

Things up here not bad ta. I feel unreasonably busy without really doing much, but not to worry.

How are you doing?

[miasalt@sunny.garden]

@eclectech In a radical departure from normal, I'm normally good about keeping things in the right place, esp. cables, but the aftermath of the seizure swept everything that was on a surface, or in the letter slots and tiny drawers on my desk, or one of the bookcases, all over the place., and somehow I managed to tip the desk over too. I wasn't able to bend or lift anything for ages, so it was just a massive pile of rubble in the far corner of the bedroom.

Ah, that's a sign that you need a holiday, I reckon

I'm ok y'know. Assuming I can find the garden chair I'd forgotten I bought, I'll be outside a lot more when the sun turns up at the end of the week 🥳

[eclectech@things.uk]

@MiasAlt Ooof. That sounds rough

Holiday may be a solution! We've had a lot of visitors recently, which has been lovely, but also contributed to the general feeling I think. One more for a long weekend next week and then I think it settles.

for finding garden chair and sunshine

[miasalt@sunny.garden]

@eclectech When I first got home it looked like a tornado had been through the place

I get that, especially if you don't get a good break between visitors. That's why I'm glad to have a tiny house: it's too small for anyone to stay over

Ta. It can only be a couple of places, but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't. Random things have been disappearing for a while ‍️ Let's hope the garden chair isn't one of them!

[caelarue@mas.to]

@eclectech That's the nice thing about nature--it's always around us.

[eclectech@things.uk]

@caelarue Indeed. I feel very lucky to have this so close too.

[bikil@mastoart.social]

@eclectech what a fabulous picture!

[bikil@mastoart.social]

@eclectech I love azaleas!

[eclectech@things.uk]

@Bikil Thanks! I took quite a few with less clear profiles and even fuzzier edges

[eclectech@things.uk]

@Bikil They are great, and this one is delightfully gaudy when it's in full bloom!

[eclectech@things.uk]

Popping in with a quick azalea update.

We have reached MAXIMUM PINK.

Repeat, MAXIMUM PINK has been reached.

(also , back properly in a few days)

[ticho@mas.to]

@eclectech Extreme pinkage! 🩷

[bikil@mastoart.social]

@eclectech wooooooo!

[eclectech@things.uk]

@Bikil

Just read my alt txt on last weeks photo: "Give it another week and it will be a super lairy mass of lurid pink."

Feeling quite satisfied with that prediction

[nead@social.vivaldi.net]

@eclectech Your new name is Pinky Pinkleton.

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@eclectech love this!! What a fabulous plant. We have passed peak yellow, here, and the mauve one died last year in the heat.
