Orchids
We had some much-needed rain, last night, and a bit more this morning: hopefully, that will get the resting half of the field growing again. The non-resting half is, thankfully, getting eaten down a bit now. A couple more days and we should be able to stop using the muzzles, which the boys will appreciate.
Jodie's leg seems to be healing nicely. We had a slightly longer but still careful walk today: no chasing around in the undergrowth, but not on the lead either so that she could sniff around the place. I even remembered to not come back the way that involves going over a stile!
There's a not-early-purple orchid by the side of the road, in the woods, but we've only seen it in passing from the car: I might take Jodie up that way tomorrow, if the vet gives her the all-clear, and see if I can get a better picture than the one Mike took through the car window.
We inherited these chives, but they're looking very pretty (and doing quite well, cut, in the house):
The hop is romping away, growing visibly from day-to-day, or even morning-to-afternoon. It's up past the top of the stake, now, so it's a good job that we put the wire up the side of the house for it:
Oh, and another mouse overnight. Still, the rate's definitely slowing down! I was vacuuming earlier, so I pulled all the bird food bins out and had a good tidy-up around them. Now I can keep an eye out for peanut skins and sunflower seed shells appearing on the floor.
