See, this morning when I got up it was just beginning to break through --
And by noon, we had sun in earnest. So I thought I'd show you a little bit of what it looks like around the house -- just a little bit.
I planted 3 different cherry tomato varieties in some of the *many* plastic cat litter buckets we have --
They're looking pretty happy, especially now that it is sunny again.
In front we have some rose rugosa that we have been nurturing -- I love these roses which grow wild here. Ours are a pretty double flowered variety and are the fisrt roses to bloom
.
We've got some scarlet runner beans too, which were slow to get started, then were attacked by slugs but which are coming along now --
And some hollyhocks--
The vegetable garden is slow -- the tomatoes are fine but we were only recently able to plant the seeds and the peppers -- not much to see now but soon --
Our neighbors' lupines look lovely --
Now a bit of knitting news -- it looks like I will be teaching a course in beaded lace knitting at my local yarn shop, Heavenly Socks Yarns. I stopped in today to talk with Helen who is enthused. So I sent a description off to her immediately. So once we get dates fired up, I will design a simple lace scarf. This should be great fun!
It's a lazy summer afternoon here in Belfast -- Moe suggests you join him in relaxing
