the garden

after the tree disaster the other week i've been trying to get the back yard into some kind of order.  i'm about half way.  leaf litter everywhere is so hard to clean up.  the weather today is humid, windy and hotish which makes working in the garden extra hard work.  i've got a green bin full of green waste if you know what i mean.  :)  i then decided to attack the front a little bit.  cleaned up the lemongrass which is not looking very healthy atm.  oh well, it's a job in progress and as i'd rather spend my free weekends with my grandkids where i should be in the garden, well, it's my own fault really.  such a mess.  i'm listing to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole who hailed from Hawaii and had a lovely relaxing voice.  i got the cd from work and discovered him on the net but can't remember where.  he may have been on the soundtrack of the descendants movie but i'm not sure.  i'm going up to have a shower and wash my hair which looks like it belongs to a wild jungle woman who has never seen a hairbrush or shampoo.  yucko.  :)

    Garden will wait, grandchildren won't, they grow up quickly.

    1. Yes I did change my profile photo. I had to do something because everytime I commented on a blog there was a black minus sign, don't know what happened, but it's ok now with the new photo.

      Oh I heard about your storm, we have had a few too....all ok today.

      Family/grandchildren are important..have a nice weekend.

    1. Yes Cindy, big storm most of the afternoon and tonight. I do not exaggerate about the jungle hair. All better now though. ;-)
