Sunflower Saturday


Hi all, another late Daily! Beautiful here, a bit warmer than yesterday and the howling winds have died down. It's nearing 10:45 A M, blue skies and 10℃ (48℉); most of the beautiful leaves are gone now after the wind. Down for grass, no mail yesterday because of the holiday; quiet day on the agenda as usual: papers and crossword.

Hope all are well whatever you're doing, enjoy the day!

Re: Sunflower Saturday


Hi DM glad the wind has dropped for you, now someone has to get out there and sweep those leaves up! We still have quite a lot on our trees but then we've had no frosts yet and very little wind.

It's mild again here too, aren't we lucky, nasty weather is late arriving this year thank goodness. OH was out this afternoon at an art group demonstration/lecture so we made scones to have with some clotted cream and jam on his return. I say "we" because I was including Morgan, whenever I go into the kitchen he follows me and sits and watches intently, hoping I'm making biscuits for him

Salmon steaks this evening, must go and get a bottle of white put in the fridge! Enjoy the rest of your day.

Hi MrsH! Now that I'm in the retirement home leaves are someone else's problem! I suspect they have leaf blowers ....... oh those scones do sound yummy warm from the oven with cream and jam! Leia usually accompanies me to my tiny kirtchenette too as she knows if she puts on the "small starving cat" face she'll get something .... well, my excuse is, the vet wants her to put on some weight..... my white's chilling in the fridge now, but tonight's Chinese: potstickers and spring rolls.

Re: Sunflower Saturday


Hi all - sorry for late sign-in. Had the tree chappies finishing off this morning, the walnut tree is pruned back and the lower branches overhanging the neighbour's cut down. All very efficiently done and tidied up.

We have a bit of a problem however in that our garden has a slight slope with a bank on the north boundary. There is a fence that separates the vegetable plot, with a gate and because we've had loads of undergrowth cut back, Monty has found a way to get into the vegetable part of the garden, from which it is an easy hop over into the neighbour's garden and out down their path onto a gravelled side road and hence into the road. It is a very awkward angle, and so I'm thinking trellis atm to fill the gap and then plant something to plug the gap. Any thoughts?

Just off now to watch Merlin. Hope everyone has had a good day, I'll be back later!

Re: Sunflower Saturday


Angie, it's sort of hard to visualize ... could you take a pic tomorrow when it's light?

Re: Sunflower Saturday


Hi all - DM & MrsH hope you enjoyed those bottles of white!

Angie - trellis probably easiest but a pic would help visualise problem.

Looking forward to seeing the wedding pics - drive down the coast sounds nice Pamela.

I had a day in garden - got lots of bulbs planted.
