Some pictures of April - 2nd April
Today was supposed to be cold, and I fully expected to want to hunker up inside, which I did for a bit. Then I went out, and it turned out that the sun hitting my thermometer had taken it to 20C! Of course tonight is scheduled for -4C.... we'll see!
Here's a few of the things happening in my garden at the moment...
And here were two happy surprises from today! So yesterday Young Farmer (my landlord) asked if I'd like one of the little troughs that my neighbours opposite had, for a planter at the front of my house - yes please! I said, because I've been desperate for something like that to perk up the space between my two windows. And I pictured a nice neat little half-drum trough like the one by my neighbour's door.
Only it turned out that wasn't the kind of trough they meant at all, and now I have lots more space to play with (shade-loving) plants! *vbg* I'm thinking some kind of trellis-type thing in the middle, and I'd love to find some shade-loving climbing roses
It was my night for foodsaving tonight too, and oh the bliss of sorting the food while it was still (mostly) light! So much quicker, and then even though I was delivering to all four corners of the village, it was a nice straightforward run - with bonus crescent moon. *g*
And that was Saturday... *g*
