Thought I'd catch a rare photo of my dog: Sassy - sorry it seems to be sideways lol

Aww bless.just look at that little face.

If that's your garden Sassy certainly has a large space to run around on a nice day.

It is 😊The lilac, laburnum, camelia and rhododendron are all out atm so it's looking gorgeous🤗

[Crusee in reply to Moomin8]

My parents used to live in a house with a long driveway of rhododendrons and they were lovely,and I miss them.When it snowed the trees would bend under the weight of the snow and it was like walking through a snow tunnel.

My garden these days is a lot smaller and has a lot of evergreen shrubs with a small rhododendron so at least I can still see a little one it is also in bloom atm

Our best thing in the garden is our pergola which my husband built and we have two grape vines growing on it.We had a large crop of grapes 2 years ago,not so many last year as it was a dreadful summer.Hoping for a better crop this year.

Bet that garden of yours takes some looking after but it is lovely.

Sassy obviously appreciates it.

Nothing wrong with evergreens. I have loads of them. Luckily I gave them a good prune last year...that ain't gonna happen this year!

A pergola sounds lovely-did you make some wine?

To maintain the garden it's mostly mowing the lawn- my other half has to do that now as the petrol mower is too heavy and judders too much for my body 😕I love cutting the lawn.

I do enjoy sitting in it though 😎

I don't think you can see it, about half way down on the right is my bball post which I used to shoot in every day until I go 50 in...miss that 🙁

[Crusee in reply to Moomin8]

You're right evergreens are ok,and they are reasonably low maintenance.My hubby does all the gardening now I am just not up to it anymore and yes I miss it too.The only thing I can manage is cutting a few of my herbs.

Making wine is something my hubby would like to do - maybe give it a go this year."chateau le cruse"

Can't see the bball net but I bet you really miss that. I was really in to a lot of sporty activities that have now had to fall by the way side- hasn't RA got a lot to answer for?

But at least you have you're lovely garden to sit in and enjoy.

Take care

My dog Dell-Boy makes my life so much happier he's 14 and has arthritis too. Pain killers and anti-inflammatories are helping him and I've given him Glucosamine for years. At the moment he's having to wait for me on walks as I struggle with my stiff and hurting ankle. Sassy looks a lovely happy dog and I'm sure brings you joy and laughter.

Ah...bless. Dell-boy- love that name!😁

Sassy runs up and down the garden chasing squirrels and cats so walks herself lol

[Smiler53]

Absolutely lovely, what a sweetie!

[moomie]

She looks beautiful and a wonderful garden to play in. Tottie and Keegan our Westies would love to chase squirrels with her.
