Another Mess

If you listen closely, you can hear the hostas as they unfurl their leaves.From the ones out front.

The snowball bush is greening up and if the buds are any indication, we will have lots of big white balls on the bush. You can see the rocks I have added to make a bed and the Creeping Jenny, which is a chartreuse green.

These are three Na king cherry bushes which stand above my little garden. I took two closer photos and can you imagine each blossom a tiny cherry.

When a volunteer was dividing plants which were too thick at the Presbyterian Hillsboro Road Church, I was given one of these bushes and I have no idea what it is called. Maybe someone out in blog land does.

We have lots of vinca around the yard and I love the pretty little purple blooms.

These are tiny flowers from bulbs and were here when I arrived on the hill, I have moved them to several places and they are doing well but again I have no idea what their names happen to be.

The Hawthorne bush is in full bloom. This is a close up of the pretty red flowers. The bush was only a couple of sprigs when Mr. Frank brought it up on the hill and now it is taller than I(over five feet).

Today has been a wonderful day. It is the third day I have been able to take a step without pain. I have been out and about the yard doing this and that. I read about a home made weed killer so I tried it around my flower beds. It is 2 Tbsp of rubbing alcohol mixed with 2 cups of water. Put in a spray bottle and go after those weeds. I hope it works and will let you know how it appears.

I also tried to stop the leak in our concrete bird bath out front. I hope I fixed the beggar. The blue birds love to land in the dogwood tree and then come down and bathe in that bird bath.

I would lose myself and then find myself outside. I put up the umbrella on the picnic table and then sat and enjoyed the breeze.

Some how or other I managed to stay outside for a good six hours. Where does the time go when you are enjoying working outdoors. All task were done at a leisurely pace and then I sat on one of the benches out front while Puppy ate his lunch and we chatted about life in general.

Now we will not break a record where the weather is concerned, the record for this date is 86 degrees but we are to make the low eighties.

The kitty justice is if this is a day for fools then lets have a few more like this one.
