Early birthday gift!

This morning I took a photo of the wallflower type flowers just because I really love them! I was out early watering a tree that appeared to be dying! If it is from being too dry that seems strange after the amount of rain we had been getting!
I have never been particularly a fan of wallflowers but these with their delicate and varied flowers are delightful.
Tina has been using the enforced time at home to blitz her office. There has been a huge box in there for a couple of weeks now, I knew it had my birthday present in and I knew what she had ordered. Today she said I could have it early, okay by me and the box about ten times as big as the gift could be disposed of! A lovely picture and I knew just where to hang it so I will look at it every day. I removed three s ceramic hearts I decorated a while ago and a spider decoration so that the picture could hang behind the television. Well, not literally behind you understand...... two photos the second one closer for more detail.


I removed all the ornaments on my two shelving units and dusted them and polished the surfaces, not a job I do as often as I should. Do need to get on the steps to do the Peter Rabbit stand!


This afternoon Tina and I both worked in the garden for a bit. I planted a few flowers in the bit of bed I did yesterday and then went to remove weeds behind the big flower bed. Tina was digging out the Spanish bluebells and then lit the incinerator for a while. One of Tina at work and one of the clearer area, although nothing to compare it to!


Yesterday we decided the dangerous steps down to the lawn should go and we would make a rockery feature there. Rob removed some of the slabs today and Somme of the bricks, very solid construction. The slabs will be good to use up to the greenhouse which is getting quite slippery when it is wet!
Was going to add a picture of the step progress and one of an orchid that Marjorie from the church brought round for me today, but the blogger ap isn’t having any of it so will finish here for today.

  1. You have been busy again. Good to have a bit of help out there today. You certainly have lots of clear areas at the moment. Let’s hope they stay like that for a while. Good idea removing those steps too. I know how much you avoid them, so best if they’re gone. A nice rockery will be much better, and safer!
    It’s really nice having lots of ornaments, until it comes to cleaning. I detest removing them all and dusting. So much easier not to have any, or very few at least 😊
    Love your early birthday present. It’s a great picture. Perfect place for it too, as it’ll be in line of sight whenever you’re sitting in there relaxing, which isn’t actually that often at the moment 😊

  2. Third time to try and get a reply on. Internet is not playing tonight!
    If the weather and the knees hold up then the garden should be the best it has ever been this year.
    I like my ornaments, they look even better when not surrounded by a sea of dust!
    I love the picture and placed there it means I will actually look at it every day!
