Here
you can see summer about to burst into spring and steal away
attention in the form of the large old rose bush in the front yard.
Rose petals being edible, either as salad adornment or to create
cordial, I usually await their fading and then grab a handfull.
Many
people might feel that my front yard is a mess, a disaster, ugly, in
need of attention, or some such attitude. Personally, I like the
wildness; an array of plants and weeds that attract bees. With the
shortage of naturally grown plants for the bees these days, I feel it
more important to provide them plenty of options than to make the
front yard look like a show garden. It isn't a show garden, after
all, but a house garden and therefore entitled to be a wild mess!!
These
shots show the 'mess' of aquilegias, fuschias, rose, yellow poppy,
weeds, azalea, and more. My current plan is to snip brambles and
excess hedging and throw the cuttings into the center of the yard.
What grows, grows....
As
summer approaches, I am faced my more indoor work. The read n relax
room is a total mess. Unlike the front yard, I intend to fix this
mess. Shaking out the linoleum mats, sweeping and washing the floor,
removing some of the used paint tins to the shed, and recleaning the
walls are top of the list.
Eventually,
I plan to remove the little needlecraft table with the antique box on
top and replace it with my bookshelf from my bedroom. I intend to lay
the last large piece of linoleum onto the main floor area and replace
the little footstools with a futon, small sofa, or possibly a furry
rug and bean bags.
