Z is for zinnia & zonked
I didn’t sign up for the official A to Z April Challenge
this year since I wasn’t sure if I could post for every letter, and also host
some blog guests before the end of April. My posts this year are not so sound,
in terms of depth of content, but I’ve managed something whilst holding a
zonked recently-fed new baby grandson in my arms at some stage of probably every post. It was amazing
how much I could do with one handed typing- slowly for sure, but possible.
My post for Z is really about Zinnias- a flower which can
brighten any day. Zinnias have nothing
to do with my novel writing (yet) but then I wasn’t going to make my posts
solely on writing aspects when I started with the letter A.
I don’t plant zinnias every year in my garden but I’ve liked
them very much when I have. I like the bicoloured variety as a focal point in
amongst those in my ‘cottage garden’ area. That’s really a euphemism for an
area where a lot of flowers reseed themselves and grow every year. It’s a bit
of a mish-mash but bursts of colour do well in it.
In the tubs on my front terrace, I like the deeper red
zinnias and those are the ones I’m aiming for growing this year.
It might be a while till I do another A to Z challenge but I’ll
be posting all sorts of things on the blog. Keep tuned to find out.
Slainthe!
