This week after quite a long absence I am celebrating:
1) My garden - I've been spending a lot of "woman" hours finishing off the grass seeding, connecting hosepipes together to be able to water (oh boy have I learnt a lot about spigots!!) and hauling heavy stuff around to get paths operational again. I'm no where near finished but I it's looking much better than it did three weeks ago.
2) My family - over the past few weeks I have been entertaining various family member visitors for longer than the normal two day flying visits. This has been lovely and has allowed us to do various things we normally wouldn't have time for. Building memories for the future as well as sharing memories from the past. It's one of the reasons I just haven't been blogging like I have been lately.
Now I'm off to join the blog hop and catch up with others - so might see you soon. Would love to know what you have been doing over the past few weeks so please leave a comment below and have a lovely weekend doing wonderful things :)
It sounds like you're whipping that garden into shape. It's great that you can take breaks and do fun things with your visiting family members. I hope you (and any houseguests) have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like your garden will be in grand shape before long... so glad you got to build memories with your family. Have a great weekend!

It is a lot of really hard work to get a garden in shape. Love your use of the word 'woman' work! Hope your weekend is a good one!
ReplyDeletesounds like you've been busy, but having fun too with family. I've been working, had a good week in PA to see my father, and trying to stay cool. That's summer in Texas. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good week. :-) We've had family visiting as well. We couldn't do too much but sometimes it's nice just to be able to spend time together. :-)
ReplyDeletethose are amazing things to celebrate! Gardens bring such fun :D I'm a believer in the fae, so adding special plants/treats/etc. for them can make gardens even more special!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you got some work done on your garden. Mine is looking very sad due to the drought we are in. I like plants, but I don't have much of a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteIt takes tons of work to get a garden back into shape so good for you! And visitors are worth celebrating :)
ReplyDeleteGardening and family - very enriching parts of a writer's life. Glad you had such a nice time with extended visits.
ReplyDeleteI haven't come to visit you in a while, so I thought I'd drop in and say "hi". I hope you are enjoying your summer and have had more family visits!
