I planted twp of these this afternoon, one to the right of the new Lavender the other to its left. It doesn't look as grand as in the picture but as soon as its grown-up, it will.I also planted a Buddleia, another Red Robin and the second of the rose bushes, Twice In A Blue Moon, (love that name).
So I was quite active this afternoon what with one job and another, but it wasn't all mucky hands and back pain I had a pleasant surprise by way of my neighbour Anne, you remember her, she was the one who asked me to remove my bird feeders which were screwed to my side of my fence... I obliged reluctantly. The pigeons were doing their business and it was colouring her side of the fence....Blah ....
At any rate she went up in my estimations today because as I was pottering out front, she kind of apologized for the bird feeder thing. "Forget it" I said genuinely, eager to get on with the digging, then the bombshell.... she said she had a bird table and would I like it?
"You bet" I said barely able to hide my surprise. And so within minutes the large green plastic bird table was being hoisted over the small front chicken wire fence which keeps my property away from hers.
"It's only a little thing " she said her eyes red with constant tears and sleeplessness, she must miss her husband terribly.
And so as I looked up and down this wonderful piece of kit I wondered what I could do or give her in return. I suggested magazines, she politely refused. So I let it rest and stabbed the green plastic bird table with roof and three cups for seeds and water into my small patch of undulating greenery.
Her kind thought made my day.
On the cooking front:
I made an Apple Cake tonight.
Goodnight All
:)
