Gardening

Over the last few days, bar one, I've managed to get out in the garden. The lawn has been mown, paths have been cut back (of nettles mainly!), the covered patio has been weeded, and the driveway is nearly all weeded. It was so hot out there today I wilted a bit, and then Charlie got bored and barked at me to come and play with him, so I did that for a while too. He's so good, I forget sometimes that he's still a youngster. Ruby, my old golden retriever, would have just had a snooze whilst I worked away. I have plans to move the picnic table out to the front garden, near the front door, but this involves creating a level patio area out there as at the moment there is a significant slope! It will be good once done as the front garden is south facing, and in the summer guests could breakfast out there or have dinner there.
