                                                      Who Weeds Your Garden??????

The winter is approaching and the summer blinds gone up so we can enjoy the gorgeous sun on the verandah,it looks like Molly is waiting to see if any visitors come.

Well the winter mornings are here at last but the days are glorious and no frosts yet.Just a few pics today no ramblings.I am blessed to have Mum still with us and she is so good.Her life was her garden once she gave up work and she is a nagg...yes a nag...always telling me what needs to be done but by the time I get all the inside caught up the garden seems to be left to Bob mostly unless a weekend comes up where we can catch it up together. Anyhow this is just a few pics of the garden and the resident gardener.

 Our garden lady awaits the bulbs to bloom.
 Eva's rose,all her friends have one in our gardens in memory of a beautiful person.
 This rose just never stops blooming it is a lovely soft apricot colour and has a beautiful perfume.
 Here is the gardener,91 and a half lol she is just in her glory thank goodness someone invented walkers they make Mums life so much easier,she could not do this without it,her plastic bag is for the weeds she pulls up.
 Just has to stretch as far as she can,this was on Saturday it was glorious day,no coldish wind like yesterday.
 WE picked the petals of the orses as they smell so devine.
 Then we dried them ready to make some lovelies.

  5. Your gardener looks happy out in the garden and she does a great job, she should be paid more:0) The last few days have been beautiful and out in the yard was the best place to be, except for yesterday.
