Cosmos

Saturday 1

I took these two photos this morning and it struck me how perfectly 'April' they are. Well, April at my house, anyway. 

The last hardy cosmos flowers from summer still going strong and beautiful in the courtyard.

And a kitchen table with feijoas (just out of the scene: three children eating them quickly), knitting-project-in-progress and another one about to be started even though I don't really have time. 

Oh, and coffee, of course…

Happy end-of-April to you.

    My neighbour has the most amazing cosmos this year, it’s like a forest! I love the look of all that yarn.

    oh i miss feijoas–we had three huge bushes at the bottom of the garden when i was a kid. i’m in canada now and you sometimes see them in the exotic fruits section as pineapple guavas–but i think they must be a relative as they don’t taste or smell the same as the ones from home (they’re also a ridiculous price when you’ve grown up with bags and bags you could hardly give away)
