Rocky
stopped Thursday while I was out in the front pulling up clover. “I'm
about finished up with B's house so I'll be by tomorrow to assess
things and get the guys started next week, you gonna be home?” Yeah
Rocky, I'll be here. He stopped again mid-morning on Friday while I was out
front. “After lunch,” he tells me.
I guess he never had
lunch yesterday. But that's OK, I know I'm on his mind. He'll get here
when he can actually give me his attention.
So,
believe it or not, I've put in some good hours this week on
the current model. Got all the leaves on and halfway cleaned up.
Next
are the three flowers. Not quite sure how I'm going to approach
those.
I
made it to the garden club meeting Thursday morning and I did
my yoga routine Friday morning and today. Am I on a roll or what?
Some
days it's winter and some days it's spring and some days, like yesterday,
start out one way and end up the other. I had both doors open in the afternoon while I was working and the little glass wind chime that
hangs in here was tinkling in the cross breeze.
I hang it inside
because our wind would be too much for it and the gold vanes are
paper anyway and I don't have a protected spot outside to hang it.
The
spring weeds have taken over the yard, the yard in which we used to
have a solid healthy st. augustine that started dying in large
patches two years ago. Instead we have a meadow, I guess, full of the
little anemone, fleabane which will bloom later, sow thistle (which I
dig up), dandelions, birdseye speedwell which has tiny blue flowers, woodland violets, chickweed, plantain, henbit
which has taken over one end of one of
the flower beds as well.
It
rained during night, not very hard but was accompanied by lightning
and low rumbles of thunder which sent Minnie into paroxysms of
trembling turning the bed into one of those 'massage' vibrating beds
in cheap motels.
And
today it is spring.
"Magic Fingers". How well I remember those. How easily amused we used to be.
ReplyDeleteThe henbit is hard for me to hate. Tiny orchids. If they were ten times as big, we would cultivate them.
It is Spring here today, too. I don't know what's wrong with me but I am already dreading the hot temperatures coming again.
flowering weeds already? all I’m looking out to is bare branches with just the tiniest hint of budding.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in America it is spring. I think spring is moving slowly, but then, I always do.
ReplyDeleteThat latest model is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd poor Minnie - it's so hard to see them frightened like that.
Yesterday was the most beautiful day ever and today - winter and icing. I just want spring to come. And rain. It is so dry, none of my bulbs nor plants have come up.
ReplyDeleteWe have this all over our yard. It is pretty buy it is starting to look a bit ragged.
ReplyDeletethat henbit is a mint so goes all over. Pretty flower
ReplyDeleteWe have a ton of weeds, and with my equilibrium issues, it's up to hubby to tend to them now. Which he hasn't started. Which I refuse to nag over. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm totally jealous of your lovely weeds. Around here, everything looks a tad dead. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love henbit!
