recently, as I was watching my grandson leaving the garage, I realized that he was having to struggle with all the virginia creeper that was attempting to take over the doorway, lol…

so, I brought out a pail, put on my gloves, and used the clippers to make the space a little more open…

from there I went to the side gate and did a fair bit of trimming as it was getting difficult to get to the tap and hose…

much more accessible now;-)…

then I had a sit down and did some reading, lol…

did a little bit of weeding in the garden…

got rid of some of the overgrowth of creeping Charlie so that the perennials aren’t crowded out…

thinking it looks much better…

now to keep it in check, lol…

had decided to do nothing today… just rest up…

but, I headed into the garden and filled three more pots with the last of the plants I bought weeks ago…

the darn squirrels have already dug out one of the lobelias… shoved it back in, so hope it grows… 

pleased with the morning glories that I planted around the deck… looks like the majority are growing… sadly most of the alyssum did not make it, so will need to replace it…

the garden is a bit overgrown but looks beautiful in pictures, lol…

still plan on trimming the daisies soon…

been having trouble getting into gardening this year… missing my beloved and not enjoying my time in the garden so much… 

think I need to find a gardener to come and get some of the major weeding done as my grandson is not going to be available nearly as much as last year… I like to do a bit of weeding but am feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work required now…

walked to the grocery store and got some shots of a tree down the street which had blown over… bunny stopped by as I was taking my pictures, lol…

so apparently I did stuff most of the day… even made potato salad for tomorrow’s dinner…

now to get to that do nothing place;-)… tv, a snack and bed…

overgrown…

as I was heading out of the driveway took a shot of the roses which are just starting to open…


rather funny because the flower bed they are in is nearly completely overgrown with grass… hoping to get some help soon to clean this bed up… but great to see the blooms, lol…

caught sight of this just before reaching the office…

a man with a very lovely murse, or man purse… not a great pic because I took it through the front window of the car…

reminded me of my beloved… he carried a murse for years… well before it was the cool thing to do… used to drive the girls crazy, particularly when they were teenagers…

looking at the rest of the garden today I am really missing him… he loved the garden and worked in it all the time… much harder worker than I out there… can see that now…
