More of the same

Nothing to report on the missing cat, Ulia... Here I give you just a few more photos of flowers. These grow in our yard. Today is supposed to be cloudy but not windy or cold. It will be a good day for getting some more yard work done. Blackberry brambles need to be tackled. They are trying to take over. Blackberry vines (ronces), ivy (lierre), saint John's wort (mille-pertuis), and honeysuckle (chèvrefeuille) are my sworn enemies right now. And I'm still slowly working on emptying out the greenhouse.

    1. That blue flower is called La Centauré des Montagnes. I don't know what it's doing here in Saint-Aignan. Here's a link:
