beloved, difficult, fish and chips, gardening, George, supper, tidying

woo hoo… spent some time in the garden today…

20140503-213154.jpgplan was to tidy the back deck… the furniture was all stacked and there was a ton of cedar leaves all over it…

earlier in the day I had seen a couple of huge robins in the garden…

20140503-213516.jpgafter tidying the deck I cleaned up the new flower beds and the raised bed…

20140503-214219.jpgit was cool and a bit windy, but wonderful to be out in the garden… was happy to get so much done…

20140503-215341.jpglooks good…

then I made myself pickerel, oven baked French fries, and pea pods for dinner…

20140503-215546.jpgthought about George as I was working in the garden and making supper… he was always the one who did the hard work in the garden… my job was to keep him on track, lol… and he was always the one who made the French fries… it was more than a year before I was able to make fish and chips, and even now it can be difficult…

I miss my beloved every day…

worked with Jeff to put the waterfall into the side garden… it went amazingly smoothly and hardly took any time at all… he is very talented with rock placing… I think he must have taken some lessons from George, who was amazing at getting the rocks into just the right spot…

waterfall looks spectacular... much better than the oak barrel did...

moved a hosta and did a bit of weeding…

finally we worked on the tub pond, which was very entertaining as Jeff got soaked a couple of times… it is cleaned out and should be up and running on Tuesday…
