Advent Day 2

Day Two in December of my front garden view.

It was a nice enough day to do some more work up in the garden.  I strimmed the grass where I removed the grapevines and also the top corner above the glass house.  I ask racked up a very large garden waste bag of leaves.  It was quite an act trying to drag it down the garden!

Still getting raspberries off the canes...I had this for dessert this evening.

I assembled a new desk for my sewing machines.  The plastic temporary one is now up in the shed.  This is more study and has a bit more room under the table for my legs, as the plastic ones had angled struts.

Another dishcloth knitted... I don't feel like knitting anything more involved at the moment, and knitting these keeps me from falling asleep while trying to watch something.

Behind the second door.

 

Successful Saturday

A good morning spent in the garden.

Admiring my beautiful poppy.

Lovely cherries.

Trying to protect at least some of them from the birds as normally you end up losing them just as they ripen.

I mowed the lawn and did some more weeding, another two big round bins full of weeds trampled down into the garden waste collection bin.  I really don't think I can fit anything else in there now before the collection on Thursday.

Looks like a badger has been at the bird feeder.

I made the second batch of jam.

You can tell I don't usually put labels on my jam, it is very wonky!  I took this jar round to the lady who gave me a box of jars this morning.  Just after I ordered some from amazon last night!

My plant that used to live in my bedroom at my old place is looking good.

It has just flowered.

A yummy lunch.

Raspberry Muffins - yum yum.

My current viewing...

A 'new' plant from the garden gate stall down the road.  Fortunately I had the white outer pot to put it in.

Another lovely evening walk after rain late afternoon.

A new dishcloth - waves.
