TGI FRIDAY


After the big clean on Tuesday I was grumpy to wake up on Wednesday to see the whole veranda full of leaves again. We had strong winds from the north during the night
I was too busy inside to worry about it Wednesday and we still had a windy day 

I was out and about Thursday so I didn’t get to sweep until today 



As I was sweeping I looked at the rose garden and sighed. It really was a stupid idea to try and keep it clean 

Not when it looks like we have had a wedding out there 

I did finish the job knowing it will be just as bad again by tomorrow. 

While I was busy wasting my time Ana wanted to go and see the strawberries and hopefully find some to eat 

This is the potato patch. They’re starting to die back now. I had a sneak peak and I saw potatoes 

I was very excited 




In the asparagus bed we have lots of self seeded tomatoes 

We harvest the asparagus and  had left it to grow and die back. Before cleaning it up, feeding it and putting it to bed. Until next season 

We will have to wait to clean it up until the tomatoes stop fruiting now. 



After all that it was back inside to watch some bluey. Even princess Trixie was watching 



After lunch grandma was doing dishes. Ana wanted to help.  she is, using one of the scarves in her dress up basket cleaning.  She cleaned the floor, the cupboard doors and the refrigerator. She was very thorough. She moved the magnets, the ones she can reach, and cleaned the area before putting them back 



She then looked through grandma’s gardening magazine. 



After all that. She asked for cuddles. She does this when she’s tired. 
Ana fell asleep 
Trixie, while sitting on my legs, fell asleep 
And grandma fell asleep too!

Over all. It was a lovely day

  2. Those flowers and leaves are a damned nuisance. When we have a north wind flowers from the bougainvillea blow straight inside everytime I open the door. You had a thick covering.
    Lovely to see Ana and Trixie again

  3. Roses are beautiful but messy, it's true.

  4. The wind has been very strong down here. Not pleasant at all.
    Enjoy these moments with Ana. They grow up so fast.

  5. We love the flowers but not the mess... I seem to be traipsing through sticky rhododendron bud wrappers every time I step out my door; and there is wisteria everywhere here currently dropping a snow storm of petals on all the paths and over all the parked cars.
