I had a AWFUL weekend. If Kleenex are reading I need more tissues.
I did some gardening late Sunday afternoon. This was a veggies patch when we moved in so they told us. There were some potatoes in there and there is some rhubarb at the end but that was it. So I ripped out all the old plants which were dead, yes they were dead, not just dormant before you start climbing up on your gardening soapbox. I turned the soil, rid it of all weeds and found some mint along the way, which I re-planted in my raised flower/herb bed. I then thought about planting veggies, but in reality I am pretty sure the people who own this place are going to sell, so I thought I am not growing veggies putting in the hard yard and then not being able to use them, so I just planted a row of Potatoes as they will grow hopefully before/if we have to leave and I turned it into a flower bed.
I had basically demanded that my husband take Eliza out to the garden centre, I had been promising her I would take her for the last half of last week, but was unable to as Jerry was so sick, he was still very sick and I was beside myself with exhaustion and emotional hormonal issues. So he left for his own safety with her. They bought pansies, primroses, and some other small things miniature pansies who knows but they are in the ground too.
The sun has started to find it’s way back to the Northern Hemisphere and moved a little closer to the earth. The flowers are growing the smell of spring is close The mornings are a little lighter and the evenings too. I’ve been incredibly homesick for Australia. I See friends pictures who are sitting on their decks in the lightest summer dresses they can find. Sipping sangria by the pool. I miss that. I have realised I don’t really miss the unbearable humidity in Sydney I do how ever miss the warmth I miss feeling the sun on my skin.
See Spring really is coming!
