The Colour Purple

This wonderful spell of warm, late spring weather has brought out a mass of bloom in my patio garden. I sit here enjoying the sun, reading a book and listening to the funky saxophone playing of Vandell Andrew. It dawns on me that the predominant colour in this area of the garden is purple.

Asters, lavender, peonies, rhododendrons and aquilegias. I don't recall a conscious effort to select this colour but it is very soothing.

Retirement has its simple rewards....
