The last couple of days have been beautiful however. Although today is a bit of an odd weather day - sunny and warm but with southeast winds at least to 25 at my place.
Day before yesterday I did mom's yard and auntie's yard. Yesterday I mowed and weed-whacked my own homestead. Today I was going to stake and tie a bunch of stuff but I had errands to run and then had to go to the dentist for a filling. Was almost 3:30 pm when I got home so decided to take the rest of the day off.
Tomorrow I will hit it hard!
Here are a few garden pics.
First rose of the season. Wonderful scent. All my roses are in pots on the deck. I wintered them over under the eaves of the garage. Might plant one or two in the garden next year. They're rugosa roses and should be plenty hardy.
And the first dahlia contestant. Bought in a bag this year and started indoors in early March. A mite spindly but will be bushier next season. Quite lovely.
The Weigela pre-dates my occupancy here but seems to appreciate my care. Will have to trim her a bit after she's done blooming
Weigela blossoms.
The Viburnum also pre-dates me but looks much happier than when I arrived. I wish I could claim credit; but it's just got tall enough now to thrive despite the depredations of the deer...
Snowballs!
In other news, the elders soldier on... Auntie will be 91 in a couple of weeks and I will host a dinner for the ol' gal. Mom is hanging in there...her arthritis slows her down a bit more all the time. It pisses her off big time.
Politically, I am delighted to see that it appears we will have a graceful exit for my man, Bernie, after the Washington D.C primary next week. I think he has lingered a bit too long; but I have nothing but admiration for the man. I personally do not believe Secretary Clinton fully appreciates the angst that has motivated Senator Sanders' supporters; but on the other hand Secretary Clinton is one very talented politician and understands the need to unify the party.
And the opposition candidate is odious beyond belief.
