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…

walked over to Ultracuts for a trim and on the way spotted a plant that had not been put into the soil in one of the big city planters…

I didn’t want to arrive at the salon with dirty hands so I decided to wait until I was on the way home…

when I did arrive back at the planter, it was clear that the plant had not been planted as it was just laying on the soil… I had wondered if a critter had maybe pulled it out of its spot…

I dug a hole and popped it in… hope it is happy now…

I had a very busy day on Thursday…

so I didn’t have time to get a trim because my hair had apparently gone wild overnight…

instead I dug out my sharp scissors and cut my own hair…

think it came out okay, lol… although, as always, I can’t really see the back;-)…

we got a few of the projects off the list on Saturday…

the Virginia creeper had a haircut, thankfully, as when our neighbour came through the gate with his little guy, he had to duck under it, lol…

looks much tidier now…

we cleaned out the area around the air conditioner and attached the hose connectors on the side of the gate…

I think it is going to be much handier in the new spot…

it always amazes me how one day my hair is perfectly fine and the next day way too long… and I can’t possibly wait another moment to fix it🤪…

finally got around to using the beautifully sharp scissors… well, they were sharpened in September…

they are amazing;-)… what a difference…

after a bit of trimming, I think my hair came out pretty nice…

what do you think…

recently I was asked for information on the picture hangers used in the living and dining rooms…

pieces of trim board are attached at the top of the ceiling or under the crown moulding that is already there… they are a bit like cove moulding as there is a little space behind the top of the rail…

we have S hooks that fit over the lip and hold up the fishing line that is attached to the artwork…

we found it works very well and means pieces can be moved around without marking up the walls… I even attach two pictures to the same hook…

it is pretty neat;-)…

I last had my hair trimmed in November, when Hilda the gardener, who is also a professional hairstylist, came to give me a cut at home…

for the last few days I’ve been struggling with it… that all of a sudden too long phase…

this morning I did some of my own trimming…

certainly no purple these days, and I do miss it…

came out nicely, lol… and feels so much better…

while at the cottage my friend gave me a haircut… it started out as a trim around my neck, but turned into a full blown cut… yay…

fun to sit outside as she worked and then just walk away from all the mess, lol…

loving how it looks… might have to hire her on a regular basis;-)…

decided the Virginia creeper over the hot tub was starting to creep too much towards the water…

grabbed my secateurs and a pail… moved the steps to the other side of the hot tub and climbed up…

was careful not to fall as I climbed onto the cover and along the edge to get to the window…

happy to get back on the ground when it was done…

looks much tidier now…

and I am still in one piece;-)…

I think I need to trim some of the Virginia creeper around the garage door soon… it is creeping across the doorway;-)…

if not I won’t be able to get in there, lol…
