Good morning everyone. Its wet and cold here. Looks like winter is creeping in. Yesterday it rained all day. With a bit of a cold wind, nothing was done outside. I have to get out and start on some of the weeds before they take over. The thistles are off and running. Its surprising how quickly they can grow in a day or two while you are stuck inside out of the rain.
I will get my chipper out and go around rain or not. Its a home made one , sort of like hoe but sharper and has one end narrower than the other so you can really get under the thistles.
I see my Jasmine has also been wandering. She has wandered all over the cottage garden and out along the fence. I see those tendrils peeping out along the garden edge. She is very sneaky , looking to see if its clear then moving across a space to run up the fence or a tree. Mostly I leave her be because I love the flowers and perfume. I just nip off the ends of the runners when I see them. I will have to get into the back of the cottage garden and see what she is doing there though. I may find a few self rooted pieces to move elsewhere.
Teresa, I hope all turns out well for you with the insurance company.
Karen, I will gladly exchange some of your hot for our cold . I think you all up there had our summer as well as your own.
Hello Dianne, Colleen, Sue, Chrissy, Pam and Anthony.
