What a gorgeous day, after a 6-day heat wave of between 32ºC and 34ºC and matchingly (yes, I realise that's coined) high humidity, actually enjoying working outdoors. After a brief pause going back out to continue mowing the acreage. On a day like this, it feels like scratching a contented Gaia's belly. Now and zen.






and the peonies were photographed last month, but it gives the feel of the place.




on the other hand, this was taken today ...
