Hi,
As I write this post, we are in our 4th heatwave and today it is hot, we are actually by the weather forecast we are hotter than the east side of England. We would love some rain, not kidding fall we seem to get occasionally is about six spots on the patio, certainly not enough for any plant. As we drive around our country lanes, the trees are shedding their leaves, a sign that they are in distress, in fact I saw several trees yesterday that looked like they are dying, horse chestnuts trees seem to be suffering more than any other trees, the fields are dry and there’s no green grass, many of the cows are now inside, farmers are keeping inside in the cool, eating the winter feed, come winter farmers are going to be short of feed unless the grass starts to grow soon. Apparently cows don’t like it too hot, at the moment neither does anyone else. I have travelled all over Europe and beyond, been in many heatwaves, last time we were in Turkey during the day it was 45c+ and 39c at night, yes it was hot, a dry heat, here in the U.K. it’s a sapping wet heat that just saps the energy out of you, anyone doing the rain dance please don’t over do it, we just need some rain, enough to green up the countryside and refill the reservoirs.
Time for another challenge at CD Sunday, for this fortnight Jo is the host,
For my card I used a backing paper and matching image from the Enchanted dreams CD by Joanna Sheen, I matted tge images onto silver Hunkydory Miri card, I made a spray of a blue and white feathers, silver ribbon, and a flower die with green foliage, added Hunkydory diamond sparkles in blue and a hand made silver ribbon bow.
