The first to bloom of a row of sunflowers which I planted in May. This, not too large, copper tinted variety is a favourite.I watch a man with a power hose clean a yard. What ever he is getting rid of seems to have spread on to his shoes and the bottom of his trousers, because he directs the hose on to these, performing a little dance in the process.
In the vegetable garden, after the rain and in the continuing humidity, everything is growing and bursting out of its bounds. There is a sense of fecundity and excess.

That sunflower photo is just beautiful!
Those power hoses here are the infamous Karchers - made so by Sarkozy saying they should be turned on the racaille in the banlieue - as vacuum cleaners are hoovers!
I remember a character mentioned in an I celandic saga called Hilda the Fecund!
I think there is potential for a Mr.Bean comic act in the performance of a "vacuum dance".
I have never been able to rid myself of the secret belief that the word "fecund" is impolite. Dirty even.
Got rid of my Kärcher. Whenever I selected the "Excoriate the proles" setting (Merci, M. le Président)I feared it would drill a hole through the car body.
