Donuts is what we call a zero. Like the Centre of a donut. A big 0
We are all so happy as it means we might get to have a normal Christmas with family and friends
As long as we continue as we have been
We are all complaining about the masks
But if it means I can have my family with me Christmas I’ll happily wear it
For as long as we need.
This morning I woke early and hit the ground running. I had a parcel to pick up
In town and so I decided I was going to keep driving once I’d picked it up and head into bunnings.
I had plans!
I bought some sugar cane mulch and hydrangeas
Some pretty foliage plants for shaded areas and headed home to start
Along the fence it’s really hard to mow or whipper snip so I asked hubby to help me
Add some compost and then mulch and I planted the hydrangeas inbetween
The Camillas
Hopefully they will fill out and stop the weeds growing making it easier to keep the area neat
I’m facing north as I take the picture so it’s shaded by the fence for most of the
Day. To the left is the west. So it will get a little bit of sun but there are big trees that will dapple
The light
And this bit pot needs some love
So I added compost and filled it with the plants
Hopefully they will grow big and lush and look very pretty
Under my front porch
Resting now
I watered everything and all the existing pots
And I’ve finally come inside as it’s the middle of the day and getting to warm to be outside in the sun
Hope your all doing well with whatever stage of lockdown your in
Stay safe and well
See ya xx
That big pot looks like half a wooden wine barrel. We have a couple a of those. hope the hydrangeas do well. I love those.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting used to masks now and we have a big variety so lots of choice if we ever go out
We still have to wear masks so I have a packet in the car
DeleteI still walk out of the car and think what have I forgotten and have to go back for the mask lol
Stay safe
Here, at 44-degrees north latitude, it's chilly and wet with winds that are expected to hit 50 mph, and the Covid forecast is even more cheerless (with a possible 400,000 deaths by Christmas--we're now at 243,000).
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever mentioned how much I enjoy your warm and sunny photos each year when the weather here is anything but warm and sunny. You work hard in your yard, and I love reflecting upon how much it means to you and how much you celebrate its beauty. Here's hoping that your Christmas will be everything you want it to be.
P.S. I too love hydrangeas. My mother used to bury old nails nearby (my father was a carpenter) in the belief that it would make the flowers more colorful. I have no idea if this worked, but have you heard of doing it?
Thank you for your lovely words. I don’t know if it works but I’ll try it. It can’t hurt
DeleteI feel for you guys so many people sick and so many deaths
Take care
