Pyracantha Orange Glow, the Scent of Hyacinth, a Perfect Leaf Formation and Something is Creeping Up on Us!
PupperJack is very worried about the creeping thing!
Pyracantha (fire thorn) — above — is providing a glowing splash of colour up against the wall outside the front of the house.
Inside the house the fragrance of hyacinth, as the flowers open, is beginning to spread through the ground floor.
I do love the scent of hyacinth when it’s natural; am not so wildly keen when it’s out of a bottle. It never seems to work so well when humans try to make it.
Talking of natural things — look at this amazing leaf formation — above — I don’t know what the plant is, but the way it’s growing is so perfect!
PupperJack knows something BIG is creeping up on him. He’s a bit apprehensive about it.
Ah ha! He’s stumbled upon the new white board, the piles of sticky notes, the bags of new felt tip pens and highlighters, the planners and the notebooks.
It’s the New Year! It’s nearly here! Much planning has to be undertaken!
Susan’s always keen on New Years and does a lot of planning at the end of the Old Year. This year, though, she’s got a plan, a super-plan for the planning! Oh, yeah!
We’re gonna be so planned!
We’re watching a New Year approach. We’re going to celebrate a whole new year with all its possibilities. (Especially with bangless fireworks.)
PupperJack and I wish you all every health and happiness and fab thing in 2024.
