I do enjoy Wednesdays…

that is the day that some lovely young men come in the morning, and within about fifteen minutes, have mowed the front and back, trimmed everywhere, blown any grass from walkways, and left;-)…

and often it is the day (usually every second week now) that Hilda the Gardener comes to tidy up the gardens…

so I particularly take pleasure in the rest of the day in this delightful space…

yesterday, I headed out to see the eye doctor and had to return to the house because I forgot my mask🤪…

I took out another one and put it into the glove compartment so if I forget again, there will be one available…

I was there for over two hours… apparently, my eyes and my current glasses are special, lol… the attention to detail and care of clients is quite amazing in these days of get ‘em in and get ‘em out… we also did some looking at new frames and discussed a number of possibilities for lenses…

as I drove up to the house, I found Hilda the Gardener just going into the garden with a beautiful hanging basket which she brought for me as a gift…

after she left I noticed that the lawn had been mowed, which was great as the grass had grown a lot with all the rain…

and the house got cleaned in the afternoon…

all in all, a pretty fine day…

productive day on Sunday…

topped up the hot tub, did laundry, prepped a few meals for the coming week, spent some time relaxing in the garden…

finished a book, watered plants, cleaned the fish tank, and consulted with Hilda the Gardener…

she very kindly sent me some before pictures…

had lunch out with my grandson, grocery shopped and got home to see the beautifully tidied front flower beds…

put away the groceries while the lawn was being mowed… went out and took a few photos of the tidied front beds…

fit in a nap, warmed up some leftovers for supper and watched a few PVR’d shows…

phew…

out and about in the sunshine for a good portion of the day yesterday…

ran a few errands, grocery shopped, got the lawn mowed… and had a wonderful steak dinner…

trying a different method of running the water in the pond… currently I need to top it up every few days so I’ve only been turning it on when I am home and in the garden… hoping that this new system will show us if the water is evaporating or leaking through the hose…

yesterday morning, when I was leaving for work I spotted two bunnies in the grass on the front lawn, but never took any pictures…

I did spend a few minutes sitting and watching them…

I am so blessed in so many ways, and the ability to sit still for a few moments and enjoy a bit of nature is one of them…

this morning another one was in the grass… got a few pics…

do ignore the dandelion filled lawn… it should be getting trimmed on Sunday;-)…

I hear that the bees are really happy to have the flowers from which to gather pollen…

I’m all there for the bees;-)…
