I think I have found a new favourite spot in the garden;-)…
from here I can see the flower beds and both bird feeders…
not sure if it will continue because soon the hanging chair will come out and that may affect the view, but I am enjoying it for now…

as it is getting later in the season, the mandevilla got moved into the garage and sprayed down with homemade insecticide to discourage any bugs from getting into the house…
it is sad, as it is currently blooming like crazy… and I know that most of the buds will drop off once it is in the house, sigh…
it stayed out for a few days… usually you put the plant in a bag, but clearly, this one is a bit too large for that option, so hoping it is less likely there are bugs in the garage than in the garden…
brought it in and tried a few spots in the living room before finding just the right one, hopefully…
I trimmed a considerable amount from the top and added a plant light…
I guess we will see how it does;-)…

recently I wrote about how well the clematis is doing along the driveway…
now it is blooming… and I think this is the most blossoms since we planted it many years ago…
it has more stems and leaves too…
now that I’ve done the math… 🤪… I realize that it is about twelve or thirteen years old… I am actually surprised as I hadn’t realized how long it has been in this spot…
time flies;-)…

the tea is here, the tea is here;-)…
the parcel arrived a couple of days ago and I didn’t get around to finding a place to store a dozen boxes of blackcurrant tea until today…
I’ve never had that many boxes at once but I wanted to be sure to get multiples as it isn’t available anyplace in Canada or the UK…
cleaned off a shelf above my mugs to fit them in…
this should last me at least six months…
so delicious;-)…
