2. Two of the flower pots were broken and I had to buy new once. Of course the garden store where I use to buy pots had run out of stock, apparently all garden or balcony owners had emptied the shelf. I returned home, looked again at my pots, and then just turned them around so the broken side was hidden and they looked nice again. That I call money saving.
3. My neighbor is again in hospital and as her daughter is working the whole day, she asked me if I could walk their dog once in the afternoon.
So that's what I did, and checked at the same time the other yards around. With a dog on a leash you don't look curious !
4. Dominique my other neighbor was away for 4 days and we took care of her budgie ! I had put it in our guest room with the radio on, my cats were not interested in a bird in a cage and didn't even sit in front of the door when the little budgie chirped with all his heart. Then Dominique came over to pick it up again and she told us about her vacation in France. We could sit outside on the terrace and had a cup of tea.
5. I went shopping with Ilona, she was looking for a dress for her grandson's wedding. Unfortunately we didn't find anything suitable. If my grandson marries one day I will be in my 90th or in heaven or hell.
Our gardener came and trimmed all the bushes and now the garden looks clean. That nobody talks me about garden work ! From now on I will only sit in it !

It's nice to have your garden in shape, though it does seem like an endless job sometimes. Smart move to turn the planters around!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your neighbor - hope she fees better soon. That's a cute dog. I never thought of it before, but walking a dog is a good way to check out neighbor's gardens!
I'll probably be around 80 when my grandson married. Yikes!
You deserve to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour now.
ReplyDeleteOh love your montage of photos and the best are the ones of your doggie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you,

Good week! Walking a dog has some advantages! I wouldn't mind borrowing one occasionally in that way.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy sitting in your trimmed garden! What a good neighbor you are by helping out with walking the dog!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice to get the snails to eat only weeds? Now that's the kind of genetic modification I would like!
ReplyDeleteGardens always look so pretty after all the weeding and springtime work.
ReplyDeleteLove gardens and dogs . that's a cutie.Must be smart.
ReplyDeleteHave good and relax time in your garden now! Here Pierre works and works in the garden ! I'll take some picas about ...
ReplyDeleteI think your snails relatives live in my garden and they don't eat my weeds either. Nice of you to help out your neighbor and your friends with their pets.
ReplyDeleteHa! You’d be lucky. gardening work is never done.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful and it must be a wonderful place to sit back and relax. I too always wonder why the snails never eat the weeds.
ReplyDeleteEven with the weeds (and broken pots), a garden is a beautiful thing. I think your idea of walking the dog and enjoying the neighborhood at the same time is a great idea.
