Flores

A month or so ago I planted a whole heap of seeds. It was a mix of perennials and annuals with flowers to attract birds. I also planted some poppy seeds. I have been enjoying watching the tiny little seedlings growing in my garden...a little bit bigger each time I water. It needed a weed, but I was waiting to see what was what...

Well today the gardeners (paid for by the landlord) came and did their usual mowing, blowing, trimming etc and general noise making. They come every Wednesday. This morning the noise had all stopped and I thought they'd gone, but there was one lone guy ripping everything small out of my garden. When I saw him I rushed out to tell him to stop. But of course he didn't speak English and the only Spanish I could think of was "flores". It was too late anyway, the damage had been done. It's all so very depressing...I can't wait to have my own place one day.
