Walking the dog early in the morning is the only fair thing to do during a heatwave.
And if you're out early enough the sun looks absolutely huge.
Morning glory.
Talking of which, this small wildflower is sometimes known as 'morning glory'. It's also known as field bindweed, creeping Jenny, withy wind, and possession vine. Its small trumpet-shaped flowers open during the day and close tight at night.
It's a climbing and creeping plant with stems growing to 0.5–2 metres (6 feet) in length, usually found at ground level, with small, white and pink flowers. It often dominates the ground flora in open grasslands.
Although estimates vary dramatically, it has been reported that bindweed infestations can produce between 20,000 and 20,000,000 seeds per acre. So, as pretty as they are, they're not a popular garden guest and can be very difficult to get rid of.
I'm just delighted to see them every morning as they brighten up the parched brown meadows.
Have a great day!
