I was out in the yard weeding again this morning. I never feel much like going out to the job but once I’m at it I can’t say I hate it. The alyssum and periwinkle seem to be doing well in their new spots and I have space cleared for a couple of clumps of heather. I completely tore out our euphorbia plant; it has been looking sadder and sadder the past couple of years and we decided it was time for it to go and make more room for the mock orange and honeysuckle. I saved these three viable stems to admire inside for a few days.

Pat trimmed a couple of bushes this morning and once I had my shower we headed down the hill for lunch. After lunch we headed back up the hill and wandered around the garden centre. We found the plants that we’d like to put in the yard but they were very expensive so we decided to try Canadian Tire. Their prices are a bit better but we didn’t make any purchases yet. I still have some weeding to do in some of the spots where these new plants will go. We need to replenish the soil in some of our pots and I didn’t want to buy anything until we took an inventory of how many pots we need to fill.

It was mid-afternoon before I got up to work in my sewing room. I finished another card top – two more to go in this batch. I’d like to get them out in the mail on Monday so I’ll keep at it tonight. Pat is doing a couple of online events and, since I had a big lunch, I don’t feel the need to stop for any supper.
