I spent this afternoon doing the washing and some weeding whilst Jim mowed the lawn. I also did a fair bit of pruning shrubs and now the garden looks rather nice, though I do say so myself. Very nice and tidy for the arrival of the flowers on the magnolia and the other flowering shrubs. The aubretia has spread a lot since last year and will look smashing when it`s in full bloom. While at the garden centre we had a look around for replacement plants. There`s not much we need but we have a space for another type of magnolia. So that`s about it apart from the summer plants for the garden tubs. As long as Jake doesn`t eat any more plants that is, I`ll have to be vigilant!
Of course, what should happen just as we finished in the garden. Down came the rain, well I suppose one beautiful morning is enough for us British before we all start to complain that it is too hot! As I was putting a bag of rubbish in the wheelie bin, a friend of mine B, turned up and that was a good excuse for coffee and relaxation. This evening I have to spend some time trying to beat Sara`s excellent Bookworm score..... Well done Sara! But I doubt I ever will in this lifetime anyway. So off I go in pursuit of the impossible!
PS I hope you like the frog graphic!

Sounds like you had a busy day, all that gardening and stuff!
You deserve a nice relaxing evening playing Bookworm! Very proud of my humongous score, what can I say, the letters were kind ;o)

Yes - it's that time of year again, when just to look at the garden makes you feel guilty! Sounds as though you had a terrific walk yesterday - an hour and a half. Jake must have had a wonderful time!
