morning ladies The fog lifted yesterday around lunchtime so was able to get washing dry outside. Gotta make the most of the sunshine as winter will be here soon enough.
MrK is still picking tomatoes, he can't believe it's April and we still have them growing. We have roasted tomatoes often as they are just sooo good. The slow roast seems to sweeten them. I also roast pumpkin rather than boiling it for soup. I scatter some chopped onion, cumin seeds and black pepper with it to add a bit more oomph.
While we had the fog, I watered the garden yesterday, especially where the newly planted roses are. I should have watered before I mulched... stupid thing to forget to do. The garden is all tucked in for winter and now it's just pruning. The dahlias are looking amazing and the roses are giving their final flush. Claude Monet has finally decided to flower after a stern talking too so I'm thinking of giving him one more year to prove himself. He really did not like being moved and has sulked for 18 months.
The Furry One needs another (sigh...) vet visit as he hasn't pooped for a couple of days. Hopefully it is something simple to fix. I think we should just empty our bank accounts into the vets, we have never had a pet that has cost us so much. Just as well we love him.
I made time to stitch and yesterday embroidered part of some feathers. This is going to be an interesting exercise in colour and patience lol. I wanted a challenge and I have one.
Coffee's finished, time to get cracking.
Happy crafting
