A second day in the garden in pleasant Spring weather? We're being spoiled...
Yes, we've been busy pottering in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - dividing up some overcrowded pots (and realising, as usual, we have small pots and huge pots, but never the right size pots), pruning-back the hardiest salvias and numerous other unruly bushes (I even made a start on some fuchsias - but that's a job and a half by itself), and loads more besides. Now I'm aching in places I didn't realise I had...
Time, methinks, to sit down, relax and dream of holidays, BOAC-style [not the skiing, obviously!], courtesy of the faboo Soft Tempo Lounge:
Starting to feel better, already.
Meanwhile...
...that there MrDevice - our fave "Star Trek geek" - is having a birthday today! Time, methinks, to drag out the old traditional "face-swap" photo, in tribute:
Hope you're having an absolutely splendid day, dear boy!!
I just finally took a quick trip to Mr. Device. I don’t know what takes me so long, but I‘ll back for more. Thanks for captaining him here. Your “growing” cartoon describes me to a T.
ReplyDeleteIt's always confusing, trying to work out who "follows" who in the Blogosphere, but I'm sure Mr D will be pleased to receive a newbie reader. Not that he spends a huge amount of time on Blogger any more...
DeleteI thought that cartoon was just perfect - it's me "to a T", too! Jx
We had some very welcome rain yesterday so I might get around to re-potting a few things later...
ReplyDeleteAnd I need to get some bulbs for Spring! Eek!
The great thing about bulbs is that even though you shop for them, and plant them, at the gloomiest time of the year, their whole raison d'être is to remind you of the rewards they'll give in the Spring...
DeleteOurs are doing such a great job of that at the moment! Jx
I will have to make sure to " blow out" his candle for him!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe too had a glorious weekend! I did much the same as yourself. Nice to see all the " usual suspects" breaking ground and coming back to life. If it stays this warm, and with some rains, we may be even a whole month ahead of many things blooming. And the song selection only added to the weekend....while I enjoy a gin.....
I rewarded myself with a pint of cider with ice. I needed it! There's more nice weather on the way for us in London over the next few days, but I will be in the bloody office, dammit. At least there are some lovely cherry trees in bloom on my commute, to take my mind off it. Jx
