All Neat And Orderly–For Now
down to earth
A different angle.
New gutters, and rain barrel up and working.
Garden Tools
I know I should put my tools away each night.
But I like them waiting against the fence for me.
Heirloom Tomato Planting Time
Things we do not speak of…
The pond was a mess last Fall,
after the ducks had partied all Summer long in it.
It had a less then pleasant odor, and was not exactly a pretty sight to sit next to.
The boys get all the credit.
They pumped out and hauled away buckets and wheelbarrows’ full of
stuff we do not speak of.
A new Water Lily is sitting in the center,
and fish will soon swim again.
All is pretty at the pond again.
No Duck’s Allowed!
Oh so pretty Clematis
This plant was a stick or two in a pot–
found on a end of year clearance sale.
Marked “Clematis”–no variety given.
I gave it a home, tucked up next to Rabbit Run Cottage.
Some patience was required.
Attitude Adjustment
“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and
careful watchfulness; industry and thrift; above all,
entire trust.”
Gertrude Jekyll
1843-1932
I feel a bit prickly
Hmm, I was promised
sun and heat today!
Neither are happening around the garden!
On the workbench
One soft feather-
left behind by Mr. Mallard last Fall.
