A day in the garden
Sun is scorching the lawn. No rain for weeks. Flowers need constant watering. Carrying of buckets again and again up from the well. Success - rosebuds turn into flowers, at last. Small tortoiseshell butterflies abound, having grown up in the rich nettle fields down in the broadleaf forest. Bumblebees are crazy about the alpine eryngo, searching all the little flowers for nectar, seemingly forgetful of all possible dangers of the world.
