I DO have something on the go..

A new journal spread is in the making. I’m just not sitting down at the art table much these days. (maybe I have to turn to a smaller journal that I can work on in the recliner or in bed again?) I haven’t been able to make a page for the Crowabout Group this week. But I am pretty active on FLICKR. i really like the groups and artists you can draw inspiration from there.

I have been informed..

by the guy you may spot in this photo;

that my previous post didn’t do justice to our work today. I’m not going to bother with new shots of the flower beds and their lack of weeds. It’s not enough blooming going on yet to make interesting photoes. But the hedges should be shown off. They have grown a lot since we moved in here four years ago. Even though I live by the main street in our little town, I feel like I’m in a secret garden when everything is green around us. And Bill keeps everything nicely trimmed and straight. I’m just the helper when it comes to bagging afterwards:

(Yes, you’re right: We put a couple of logs in the fireplace. it’s chilly tonight)

Hedge alongside the main road.                             Or seen from the other end:

On the other side of the house we often sit in the shade in the afternoon. And that’s where we hang our laundry. And pick plums when the time comes. (This year there will be lots!)

..and here is the result:

Every hedge trimmed, lawn cut once again (even though it was cut yesterday),

bushes  shaped, flowerbeds weeded,  clippings bagged,

flowers everywhere given fertilizer:

Green maintenance

We are weeding, trimming, raking…..
