This iris is definatly something I´ll have by the pond.

It has been a waonderful day today. Some clouds but a lot of sun and rather warm. So I went home a bit early today. When it was half an hour left I had painted all I should paint today, so I thought I should go home and start to take away the lawn where the pond is going to be.

The Field violette is a weed, but who cares :-)

Directly as I sat down in the car the dark clouds started to gather and then the rain came. It was heavy showers on my way home, but then the sun came back in time for my walk with my dogs. The birds are all occupied gathering food for their young ones, so there´s not a lot of bird song at the moment. But it´ll start again when these have flown out of the nest and it´s time to start a new family.

As soon we came home the rain started again and now thunder could be heard from the south. It never came close, but the first thing my neighbour asked was if we had thunder here. He probably had forgotten to unplug the computor again :-)

Lupins comes in all colors.

Every time I thought of going out to remove some of the lawn the rain came back :-) So i´ve given up the idea for today :-) The rtubber carpet hasn´t come yet anyway so why start stressing, I have all summer to make this pond. But I have already started to plan what kind of plants I´m going to have around the pond. Ferns of course and irises, but not to much flowers I want a wild kind of look to this pond sort of as it is around the deep hole in the ditch I´ve shown pictures of.

The white rose of Finland.

Time to go out into the sun again. It might not rain if I don´t think of the pond and the lawn :-)
Have a great day now!

When I was out walking I saw this blue area and wondered what it was.

It was thousands of very small Veronicas.
