Sinister

Three of these buds on one of the hostas in the 'yard. Always think they look rather sinister when they reach this stage, though I'm not sure why - maybe a combination of their colour and shape. As if an alien could burst forth any minute now. Hopefully this will happen instead.

A relatively relaxed Sunday. We popped down to the Farmers' Market this morning, and came back with a box full of local goodies - a plant, beer, sausages (free-range organic), and cake. The cake didn't last long!
