Busy in the garden

Hello. That's all done and dusted then, now we know who is going to run the country. Seems all a bit confusing if you ask me, but no matter, the mess will get sorted one way or another. In the meantime we carry on as normal. 
The weather has got better as the day went on, it's been quite warm this afternoon. I started off by doing some sewing, then went outside to carry on with the painting of the Summerhouse. I tarted it up a bit with some old cd's. Looking good so far. 
The flowers are doing well though the tall ones have taken a battering in the wind and have collapsed on top of the smaller plants. I have put some stakes in to support them.


I'm really pleased that this little tree is growing. I've got four of them, all rescued from the bins in the churchyard. Silly people for throwing them away, lucky me that I found them.

I've mowed the front and back lawns. I love to see it when it's tidy like this. The garden looks so much bigger after the grass has been cut and the hedges trimmed. View from my upstairs window. The lumpy bit in the middle is where there used to be a paved path. I took up the slabs but didn't cut the grass. It is the cats playground, they like making a nest in there and snoozing in the sunshine. A frog also lives in there, so I leave it rough.

I keep adding a bit more stitching on the felted picture. Looking good so far. A lot more to do.


I'm just off out now to do the second half of my walk. I started it earlier today and got waylaid with chatting to people and had to cut it short because my belly was groaning that it was lunch time.

Thanks for popping in, enjoy your weekend, we'll catch up soon.

  12. Your garden is fantastic! Oh, the envy! Lucky kitties to have a mom that understands their need for a play space. And the beautiful stitching ... more envy! Reminds me I better get my rear in gear on my own projects. Thanks for the inspiration. Sheri
