Little Yard work and some reads

Tuesday was a nice and hot day.  It hit 80 degrees.  I sat in the chair on patio for a short while to soak up some vitamin D.  Felt so good.  

Note.. click on picture to enlarge if need be. 

I am happy to see the boxwood I have been clipping into a topiary for two or maybe it's been three springs has made it through our harsh winter this year.  

I will tie some twine around that grass in the distance before it's cut so I can use it to decorate the lamp post in the fall. 

Dinner bell was here when we moved here.  I was told it came from Chase City Virginia. 

I thought that was pretty neat when I heard that because Mom was born in Chase city.

I purchase this book a few days ago locally here and have been enjoying some of the ideas given.

I need a refresh. 

I like the idea of some gilding and painted furniture but definitely not too much.  

A little Bohemian but just a touch here and there

Got a few twigs and dead plants from last year up and into bags. I have much more cleaning up to do and actually don't mind it now that my knee is much better.  Or the new knee I should say.

Gorgeous Forsythia to greet in the early morning.  I have another that's rooted from a couple springs ago and I think I will plant it near the forest area for color. 

A garden house book I will have to take a few ideas from I am reading on breaks from yard work.  I need to get rid of some clutter in my house. 

The shelf above the window is nice for a garden room, but also for my kitchen area

A porch area below is sweet 

Later

Lunch at Panera

Steve had chili and salad

I had French onion soup which isn't exactly the way I like it but it was tasty and good

I had a double stack with chicken and tomato with melted cheese.  Very good. 

Til next time
