8th May 2022
It was Mother’s Day over here and Kelli had volunteered us to tidy up the flower bed in the front lawn of her mother’s home. Like we haven’t been working on the land enough. I’ve seen more dirt than I’ve experienced in a lifetime. The pile on the front drive doesn’t get any smaller even though I’ve covered half the area of the new lawn.
We finished our duty and were rewarded with a slice, or two of chocolate tart.
We have a gardening ritual that we have to follow for a couple of weeks now, that is to water the front part of garden twice a day to keep all the seeds damp, then, with a bit of luck loads of colourful wild flowers should appear.
I also gave the front lawn its first cut of the year, there was a lot of moss on it which didn’t make me very happy, but I’m expecting a delivery of the next treatment for the grass in a week or so, hopefully that will sort it out.
Something has eaten all the heads off our tulips in the stone circle at the front of the house, all of them.
We are not sure if deer have come down for a midnight feast, but that pissed us off.
Another Lifetime to go
