You can never have enough...

time for a break The hose is on the garden, thank goodness for a bore. And the mulch has been well worth the effort over autum. I only have to water once a fortnight. I was sitting under a tree sorting some dutch iris bulbs I have lifted and two waxeyes were bathing in the wet leaves of a tree I had the hose on. They would flit between the leaves, get wet, have a preen, then hop away and wait for the hose to come back to the tree and do the whole thing all over again.

Oh_hunnihunni, you are so right. There by the grace of God go I as the saying goes. We almost lost everything when our business went under years ago. I don't think we have fully recovered financially but we at least managed to keep our home by the skin of our teeth. If the IRD hadn't come to our rescue (yep, the IRD!), we would have lost the lot.

A couple of years ago I drove by our old home and cried. She had ripped out all the garden. If she didn't want it, why didn't she tell me and I could have dug out the roses and other plants. They say you shouldn't go back an now I know why.

Kettle's boiled, time a a cuppa and then maybe get this weeding finished. Will see how hot the day becomes.
