lately I’ve been spending quite a bit of time thinking of my beloved…

the other day I was reminded of how strong his hands were… he could open a jar or wring out a cloth without the least bit of effort, lol…

he loved the garden and spent hours puttering in it… he was always working on the grass as well, to ensure there were no weeds in it… I have completely failed at that…

another one of his favourite things was the pond… he loved to maintain it and look after the fish…

my son-in-law and grandson love it as well, and happily have been helping maintain it…

today, I tried to clean the pump as it was clogged… I couldn’t lift it out of the pond, so I put one of my chair cushions on the deck and laid on it while pulling out the gunk… turned the power back on and there was a fair bit of water coming from the top of the pump… turned it off and pushed the pieces together after a conversation with my son-in-law… turned it back on again and all of a sudden the hose popped off and there was water spraying everywhere, lol…

eventually got it unplugged and am going to leave it alone until he stops by tomorrow… my beloved would have had it fixed in no time…

the droplets were refreshing, lol…
