enjoying every beautiful minute I can manage in the garden…

yesterday, I dug pots out of the shed and planted the dahlias… four pots that go along with the one I planted last week…

then I set up a pallet with a plant hanging stand and added the lounge chair in the area to the northwest of the pond… I am hoping this will be a good napping area…

after I put out the cushions, I repaired one umbrella and put the rest up, to see when they provided shade…

after all that I had some lunch and read for awhile, testing out various sitting spots…

finally, I brought more pots out from the shed and set them up in various spots in the garden to be filled with plants;-)…

throughout the afternoon I noted where the chairs got the best shade…

while I was working a bunny came by and snacked on dropped birdseed and many white-crowned sparrows stopped by for drinks and baths…

what a delightful day…

was making my morning tea the other day, when I looked outside and noticed a delivery truck slowing down and stopping in front of the neighbours’ house…

kept watching, to see what they were getting, lol… then he pulled out a pallet with four chairs on it…

they were for me, but there were vehicles in front of the house so they had to park that little bit further…

the driver got them down and brought them up the driveway, but felt he couldn’t carry them along the path between the driveway and house because it wasn’t shovelled to the ground… so he left them there…

I put my coat on, went out, cut away the plastic holding them to the pallet, and carried them in, two at a time… then I brought in the pallet… at which point my grandson came up the basement stairs to see what was going on, lol…

I am very happy to get them because I’ve been looking for replacements since the fall for the 13 year old ones on the deck which have given up the ghost… all the ones I had seen couldn’t be delivered so I was very happy when I found these on sale the other day… and there was no delivery fee;-)…

I think I will make a planter with the pallet… bonus…
