so excited to get home yesterday because I received a message from my gardener, Hilda, advising she had been by and done some planting…
it looks great and I can hardly wait to see what happens when she tackles the bed across the yard, lol…

pretty pleased because, thanks to a friend, I might just have found a gardener…
we walked around the front yard and garden and reviewed all of the things that needed to be done… it is quite a list…
at first I thought she was overwhelmed with how much needs to be done, but I mentioned I would be happy if just the garden was looked after…
although it was raining and the garden looks rather sad, she said she felt the serenity of the space…
we made a plan and she is going to get started when she has an opening in her schedule… this might not be for a few weeks, but I am thrilled that the work is going to get done eventually…
before then I’m hoping that someone can come and move some rocks…
so exciting;-)…

had quite a bit of company today…
early morning meeting with my money guy…
then met my grandson for breakfast and we worked in the garden for a few hours…
he is getting to be a good gardener… finished putting the rocks around and in the pond so now none of the liner is visible… we also lifted the deck to move the cords out of sight and he cleaned up the flower bed and put rocks down…
looks very nice… made red lentil curry and rice for our lunch which is one of his favourites…
the fushia was looking beautiful today…
after he left, spent some time reading in the garden and then had a nap…
the daddy dropped the little boys off after supper on his way to work…
we had a lovely time… they came with me to water a friend’s plants…
on our way home we stopped for Dairy Queen ice cream and once we arrived at the house, we walked over to the grocery store to pick up fixings for s’mores…
on our way back we stopped at the creek where we scattered grandpa’s ashes and then there was rolling down the hill activity…
got this great shot of the dahlias blooming in the front garden as we arrived home from the store… they look like a painting…
the boys played with balloons for at least an hour, on the deck and then in the hot tub…
everyone played on their electronics for a while and then we had a fire…
they were picked up by mom and I am now enjoying a few quiet minutes before heading to bed, lol…
we never did get to the s’mores but will do that on Sunday when they come for dinner…
it is such a treat to spend some one-on-one time with them…
