Yesterday was work in the garden day. I took advantage of the milder temps and trimmed one of the Yucca plants and cut back another. Both have new growth so this will help revitalize them.
They are original to the property which means they are getting old. Denny frequently would cut them back so I thought I would see if they will fill in.
The Snail Vine is adjusting well and already climbing. There are new buds waiting for their day to open and some which have
I love this flower. Not only is it lavender but so complex. It starts out looking like a green lima bean then becomes this lovely flower. If you look closely just to the back of this bloom you can see the "lima bean". So nice to have this back on the arbor.
The bunny has move to the base of the vine waiting to be covered by the leaves. It is always nice to move the critters around the garden. There are broken pots here and there for the lizards to have shelter and it still surprise me if I pick one up and out pops a lizard!
The Gaura is doing just okay. I think it needs a good cut back but it should have been done this Spring. Right now it is very leggy. I will trim it regularly removing spent blooms and then after the winter I will cut it back severely. the blooms are so pretty and sway in the breeze.
I have been spending some time with Alice. This morning I found that I am off by a couple of threads....but it will work just the same and it would be too much to rip out. Some might say why tell, I feel there will be that one person who notices it. Luckily the design lends itself to this mistake quietly so it will remain.
So you know what tomorrow is? Yes it is September 19 but it is The Day...The Brother Alan and Lisa arrive! If their flight stays on time they should arrive here at the house around 12:30. Just in time for their visit the temps are cooling. they are leaving the New England area just in time as there is a storm heading up the coast. I have a To Finish list, the To Do list and time for relaxation list.
The second laundry is on and soon it will be light outside as the sun will be rising. I have a couple of errands to do then it will be time to stitch...maybe even outside for a time. Glad to have you visit with me. Thank you for the kind words and thank you for your friendship.
