Everything in the garden is lovely...

[Lyd12]

Its a beautiful morning, and hard to come back indoors after wandering round the garden. but the washing is almost ready so just time for a joke -

a little boy goes up to his grandad and says 'Grandad, can you make a noise like a frog?'

'Well, I suppose I could if I tried,'replies Grandad. 'Great' replies the boy, 'because Grandma said we can all go to Disneyland when you croak.'

Garden looks lovely , is that a rose bush ( white flowers ) I love the garden and have just finished my pond . I'm just about to do the hanging baskets 💐🌺

[Lyd12 in reply to Kelly043]

Yes, Kelly, the rambler over the pergola has done really well this year, apart from that awful wind we had which took many roseheads off. It has a lovely scent so I gathered up the heads and put them in a shallow bowl indoors.

sometimes when the weather is bad I think why do we work and spend on the garden so much, but then the sun shines and its wonderful. iris x

I know it is definitely hard work , i just delegate to my husband now . I had a lovely yellow rose bush and everything seems to be coming up now and it looks so pretty but hard hard work x

Great Joke again! Well done

The garden seems a perfect place for a nice cuppa tea and to relax and enjoy.

[Lyd12 in reply to Sokrackers]

I agree, Sk but as soon as I sit down I spot something I just must do.

[Sokrackers in reply to Lyd12]

I am exactly the same. I see another weed or a stone that's too big or a cutting I could take!

If you change the tea for red wine (to help with backache) as the day goes on the urge to get up diminishes. Simples

Take care

I do wish I liked wine, or rather that wine liked me. I never feel better for a glass of wine, just headachey, but tiredness slows me down quite quickly anyway. iris x

[hufferpuffer]

Oh that's cracker ! I loved it and your garden is lovely, I'm so glad the weather's got a bit better xxx

[Hidden]

What a haven xxxx

[Lyd12]

If only this cold wind would go away, drying the ground and pulling at the plants not to mention keeping us chilly.

[Sheilab123]

Nearly fell off my chair laughing Lyd, best i've heard for a long time, though hubby says i have a warped sense of humour! Love your garden, so looking forward to spending some time in mine when it gets warmer. xx

[Lyd12 in reply to Sheilab123]

I often wonder about my sense of humour, that was a bit cruel but children don't know, do they? Hope you and your husband are as well as can be. Iris x

Oh dear!

btw, you've got wonderful climbing roses> I've got "ground" ones, yellow ones in teh back garden and some in the front garden.

Last thursday it was so beautiful and my meighbour upstaris had gone out, so I took my flute in the garden and made a happy noise. Theamplified sound was fantastic. I don't think it disturbed other neighbours because i heard teh thumping of pop music in the background! It happened that another neighbour is a volunteer driver who picked me up and said, " I heard you, it sounded impressive" Thank you for the praise indeed, as I had had a self confidence crisis. But I resolved it this way: I learned to write, I enjoyed it, I wrote essays at uni! so My train of current thought is: I am learning the flute, I enjoy it immensely, and I'll play some Baroque one day.

Waking up this morning, I played the 1st movement of Bach's orchestral suite number 2 in B minor. I put my oximeter to measure my heart rate, 65 beat per minute, the same beat as the piece! (O2 95)

Sorry I coudn't find James Galway playing it ith I Solisti Veneti which is really divine!

I am rehearsing my Grade 1 exam pieces. I feel so good and so happy! Cheers, Mic

[Lyd12 in reply to helingmic]

that was lovely to,listen to Mic. I am very unmusical, but often wish I had some classical music to relax to. I never listen to the radio but I suppose I could buy a dvd for the TV? something very easy to listen to. That is a lovely rambler rose with a beautiful scent, and it has flowered well this year.
