Day 174: White Poppies

‘Tis my faith that every flower

Day 42: Almost a Summer Day!

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”
― Anne Sexton

More water! Readers, you shouldn’t even pretend to be surprised anymore. But I made the most of my trek to Winchester today to snap some of the floods along the way.

Pumps are working around the clock to try and clear things up a bit.

I had to go down to the meadow to take a few snaps of the reflection in the water. I love that the evenings are lighter and I can finish work and still get a couple of minutes of daylight.
