We have received over 12" of rain in the last week and everything is lush and green. The amount of fungi that are blooming is unbelievable. To top it off the temperature has been consistently warm to very warm. I have green bell pepper plants that are three feet high.
We returned last week, from our trip to england's lake district, Scotland's highlands and Berlin's busy streets, to a house and garden areas that were perfectly cared for by our daughters and their families. Of course they had enjoyed the pleasures of the woods, beach and lake.
It was grest to return home
A storm over the highlands as we trekked the Tomintoul trail. What a fantastic place. the weather was delightful. The rains were light and refreshing followed always but sunshine and warmth.
Our return to Tomintoul. This village is a delightful little place with wonderful people and lots of things to do. The local history museum is a fascinating place. The restaurants and shops are surprising for such a small village.
A visit to the THE Glenlivet Distillery is a must. The tour is fantastic as well as informative and the restaurant is superb. I now have a greater appreciation of the spirit!
