big girl pants, closet, flower beds, Friday fun, hosta, sleepover, umbrella, wild roses

put out the garbage and watched a bit of tv… then spent the morning working in the front flower beds with two great helpers… got a lot done… the wild roses are gone for now and we moved the woman water feature into one of the beds…

the side bed got weeded and we divided and moved a hosta… then after they left I sat in the garden and read for a while… spent the rest of the day waiting for someone to come and fix the bathroom door in the basement… never did show up…

my lovely young carpenter friend came by to put a last coat of paint on the closet that George started four or five years ago… Sunday we are going to pick up doors for him to install and he is going to put the trim up around the back door too…

then the kids arrived and Jeff got the water running in the fountain… he headed to work and we headed to their house for a sleepover… picked up a few groceries and a new umbrella for the deck…

now to bed, I’m tired:-)…

I remember that Crystal came and planted all the allysum because I couldn’t do anything at the time as I was waiting for my surgery…

obviously needs a bit of work including planting this year’s allysum… it will be interesting to see if the hostas, Jacob’s Ladder and monkshood are still in there, lol…

beloved, big girl pants, blooming, clematis, filled with rain water, pond, wild roses

took a picture of the pond this morning, filled with the rain from last night… they haven’t been to work on it for a few days but they are waiting for the slate and pump to come in…

as I was driving out of the garage I stopped and took a quick pic of the clematis ready to bloom…  we must have planted a dozen clematis over the years, but this one seems to be happy…

and the wild roses at the front of the house, in the right bed… once they bloom will need to cut them back… they really like to take over, lol…
