Hello, looks like I am all alone.
Its been nice and mild here for the last few days and we have had a bit of light rain overnight. I have put the car out in hopes of more rain, but it looks like the car wash next week as the rain wont wash the road grime off.

Teresa, sorry to hear that your training day was so bad.
It can be very annoying when organisers have no idea of doing things right.
Hope the next ones do better.
I guess Miss Sugar was really fed up too.

I did a bit of cleaning up with my plants yesterday. Tossed a few poor looking ones and repotted a couple.
I didnt really do a good job of bringing plants here from the house . I think I was just trying to grab my favorites without thinking of how they would do here.
Being a small garden area , I need plenty of color all year round, so have done a complete makeover. I will move a few more today that have had their flower time. They can rest at the back.
I will be looking at getting just a few more plants that are hardy and flower more than the ones I have.
Because my garden at the house was so large, I could have something flowering all the time and walk around to enjoy them.
Here, I need things that I can sit and look at so, more planning going on.

My broms are all getting plenty of color now and growing well.
I noticed how quickly bill Hallelujah has colored back after a greenish winter.

Not much else going on so I will sit outside with my cuppa and enjoy the roses.
Luckily I can sit out the back or front and be sheltered from any rain.
Its quite nice and mild with no wind.

I hope everyone out there is okay and just busy.
Hope to see smiling faces back again soon.
