Tuesday, and its going to be a good one. Things will turn up, get mended, be delivered and not be broken. This has sunshine day written all over it. So it is with optimism that I get up for breakfast and plan the day. Its going to be training between 11 and 13:30 over zoom and then some radical gardening. I try to join the zoom training but the link is dud. So I admit defeat, tell my colleagues of my failure and move on. I sit on the front step and I’m rewarded with several butterflies.
Its lunchtime and the family go for a walk to the village co-op to buy strawberry plants. A successful mission followed by me starting to garden while my partner and eldest daughter go for a longer walk. On their return I prepare the raised bed for the strawberries and leave my partner to plant them, a mission that went well.
While my partner does the strawberries I crack on clearing the heather bed and and getting it ready to put log roll edging round part of it. New pots of bulbs get planted and sited. I move some of our pots around to make a cleaner looking garden. While doing this I discover a small patch anemones that have come into flower.
My garden as full of gifts today as it soon presented me with a very plump bumble bee. Who could ask for anything more.
I beaver away and eventually can clear away the tools and sit back and look at the fruits of my labour. Well I can see the difference but I doubt if anyone else will. I’m banking on the summer bulbs being spectacular.
I am tired and sore from yesterdays injection and decide to call it a day. I retreat to the house and open my new Amazon package. Oh the delight. There is nothing like a new set of electronic screwdrivers.
The joy of new tools
In my joy I put the bins out for tomorrows collection and moved onto re-siting the pond pump on a more suctionable base to stand it on. All the time I was fiddling around with my hand in the pond a very brave small frog sat in the middle of the pond and watched me intently. His or her friends had all dived out of site when I started but this one seemed to be unphased by me. I think tomorrow I’ll go down and see if he/she is up for a chat.
Its tea time and then I start the blog early as my intention is to soak in a bath adn get an early night. Its due to be sunny again tomorrow so its more garden time if I’m lucky.
