I’m proud of myself. I actually got the cannas dug and hydrangeas planted late Sunday afternoon. Now Mother Nature is watering the hydrangeas in with a deep soaking.
We’ve had 2 inches of rain since yesterday afternoon and its supposed to continue raining all day today. My timing was perfect.
Of course, I’ll be even happier after I recover from the stiff, sore muscles I have as a result of all that digging and bulb carrying. I was more out of shape than I thought!
There is still some tidying up to do in preparation for winter: containers and pots need to be stored away for next year and leaves need to be collected for the compose pile. Those will have to wait for better weather.
The best thing to do this morning is to enjoy another cup of coffee and watch the cats nap while listening to the rain.
Be blessed!
What a lovely feeling to have all of that done. I did not plant my usual pansy friends this time so I will not see their sweet faces looking back at me from the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteBut, I am here now with a good cup of black tea from Russia with genuine cherry flavor..oh, my goodness..so good. A treat. I buy it when available in a Russian store in Charlotte.
