I wonder if parents still do such things with their children or if computers have taken over - and if so, does it matter? Will today's children have such lovely memories I wonder.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-73213089862187650572011-06-17T10:15:58.195-07:002011-06-17T10:15:58.195-07:00Lovely photos of grasses and sorrel.

I collected grasses with the help of my father. He showed me how to press and display them. We were busy all the summer holiday and he bought me an Observer book of grasses so that I could name my collection. I have never forgotten the pleasure of that summer.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15980163361734217312011-06-16T11:07:28.071-07:002011-06-16T11:07:28.071-07:00Cobbles are so much nicer than horrid tarmac, let ...Cobbles are so much nicer than horrid tarmac, let them wear wellies I say.Acornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-67472793487022050192011-06-16T09:12:50.464-07:002011-06-16T09:12:50.464-07:00Grass fascinates me, the different colours greens,...Grass fascinates me, the different colours greens,blues,pinks, yellows,purples many different colours and textures.<br />My exhibition is called "Seas of Grass"<br />It also reminds me of my childhood, making dens in the grass!<br />Thank you for sharing your collection.Michala Gyetvai (Kayla coo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05120726257649689149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-60630129319946284432011-06-16T01:37:08.651-07:002011-06-16T01:37:08.651-07:00Some time ago they refurbished a shopping yard loc...Some time ago they refurbished a shopping yard locally and repaved it with cobbles.

I will update on Goldie as soon as there is any news - good or bad.<br />We had an absolute torrential downpour yesterday afternoon, so do hope it hasn't washed out the concrete between the newly set cobbles. It would do the cut fields a huge amount of good though as they had just had the fertiliser spread. As I write, the farmer's clothes are going round in my washing machine as they all got completely wet through.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-61770036981435249272011-06-15T19:12:06.063-07:002011-06-15T19:12:06.063-07:00If perseverance and concentration count for anythi...If perseverance and concentration count for anything Goldie is a sure winner!Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-81513535577751672822011-06-15T16:00:27.323-07:002011-06-15T16:00:27.323-07:00ahh weaver i love grass although i do have some al...ahh weaver i love grass although i do have some allergic reaction to it. i especially love wild grasses. very very much. i'm so excited about the chicken births. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-49466816804556168772011-06-15T15:39:29.882-07:002011-06-15T15:39:29.882-07:00What a lovely post!

But I think I saw it in Derbyshire, many years ago, not my usual haunts of Flamborough. I certainly recognize the sorrel -- sour because if you chew the leaves they taste sour. Certainly we weren't thinking of dogs and cows, when we did that as children!ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-60477920142634564122011-06-15T11:03:46.045-07:002011-06-15T11:03:46.045-07:00forgot to say

We children would collect as many different grasses as we could find in Granny's paddock. I even love sorrel when it takes that very rusty colour in autumn. Goldie looks very snug in her quarters and I eagerly await news of her babies. Like you, I think cobbles are attractive - hope the man doing the repairs had a cushion to sit on!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
