 I hope that everybody loved the Easter break. I keep in mind once I was a baby that the majority outlets and companies can be shut for days because it was a really sacred time however occasions have modified quite a bit since then. Gone are the times when banks had been shut for therefore lengthy and there was no on-line banking nor ATMs round which wasn’t actually an issue as there weren’t many locations open to spend cash anyway. LOL! 

Because of all of the rainfall this yr the dahlias have been fairly gorgeous and many individuals who go by have commented on what a present they make. They’re dying off now as it’s time for ….

…the chrysanthemums to shine. I simply love this pink one….

…however this deep crimson one simply stands out within the backyard. It’s all the time exhausting to take a very good photograph of crimson flowers however these are actually stunning. 

The odd day-lily remains to be flowering however it will likely be moved quickly as I’m within the technique of discovering a brand new dwelling for the numerous bulbs which are rising within the improper spot and are spreading over the pathway. It’s most likely the improper time of yr to maneuver them as they’re about to flower however it may well’t be helped as I can not work when it’s scorching…being a senior citizen and all. Ha ha! 
One other batch of cleaning soap has been made utilizing Jan Berry’s ‘Palm-Free Cleaning soap:Vegan, No Butters’ recipe from her e-book Simple and Natural Soapmaking. Our son has moved again dwelling so I can be making cleaning soap extra continuously within the coming months. Extra experimenting….

I noticed this gourd on a current go to to Danish Flower Art at Highfields which you actually should go to in case you are ever out that method. 

We now have 5 pineapples rising so it simply goes to indicate that it pays to attend as I used to be so near throwing out the pineapple tops that we had potted up 5 or so years in the past 

Additionally, resulting from all of the rain, a volunteer pumpkin vine has sprung up and there are no less than 5 pumpkins on it. Hopefully some will survive within the coming months. 

I hope everyone seems to be preserving properly and never too downcast by the miserable information on TV and so forth. Have an exquisite week!
