I don’t go mad with the colour, just was a hint but full green would be good at Halloween! Off out into the garden today, I had decided to tidy up the area near the gladioli again and they are getting smothered and you can’t even see the grass path! What with dying plants, weeds and all the laburnum petals it was a mess. I have to admit that at times being the gardener is a little overwhelming and a little depressing when I go back to things I have tried to clear reasonably recently and have to do it all over again!
After that I went to the bed in the back of the picture which was beginning to get a bit weedy again.
Tina was out this morning and came back with two saintly little cacti!
When I went out to take that photo as they are still on the bench I took one of the pretty flowers by the front door.
This afternoon I have been making masks as I have had a couple of requests for them. Finished one and will get there more made before The A Word which is on at nine. I went out to get the gardens watered early so as I am not turning out in the middle of the evening. The sky was looking pretty good when I went out.
We have spotted some grasses that actually look like crop plants. Tina and I both like grasses so we have left them there to see what appears. They are now beginning to form heads.
If I get time I may try another self portrait as I have had a couple of comment saying it makes me look too old and a bit serious! If not tonight I will have another attempt.
I think the green looks ok, but no doubt the ones that say you look old and serious in the drawing will now say you look mouldy too! As they say, you can’t please all the people all the time. I know, I’m an old hand at it.
ReplyDeleteThe bed in that first pic does seem to have got overgrown quite quickly as it doesn’t seem five minutes since you cleared it and trimmed it! Looks good again now though, for the next five minutes at least.
Those cacti look quite large. The one on the left is really odd looking one. Hope the cats don’t decide to start sniffing them. If they do it won’t be very often!
Really like the flowers by the front door. Hopefully a nice smell to come out to.
The masks seem to be going really well. You’ll soon be known as “the mask lady” locally.
I have got more used to the green as the day has gone on.
ReplyDeleteI will try and get another bed weeded tomorrow if it doesn’t turn too hot.
The cacti are very large, not sure yet where they are going to live! The one with lots of shoots is not prickly, the other one is very prickly!
