Out early this morning, right after my workout, to water the vegetable garden. I had an appointment for my air conditioner service so had to stay by the phone. Here it's most annoying, they phone to say they are on their way, but if you don't answer they don't come! I have had that happen a couple of times so am super careful to be on hand.
The guy was due between 10:a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Of course, he came at 1:30 so I had to twiddle my thumbs for over 3 hours. Never mind, it's done now and just in time as the weather is heating up - high 20's this week.
I cut the back grass this afternoon (once released from my self imposed incarceration) and was hot and sweaty after, wishing the pool was open. I would definitely have gone in for a cooling dip regardless of the temperature. I have been watching the lilac bush and today it is just right for a photo. It seems there is something new in the garden every day at the moment!
I have few blooms on mine - must have pruned it back too hard after flowering last year!
ReplyDeleteIt will come back even better. This one got a severe pruning too but I left several main stalks.
DeleteYour lilac is lovely. It is certainly the scent of spring, that & lily of the valley.
ReplyDeleteYes, my two favourites for perfume too.
ReplyDeleteLilacs are starting to bloom here as well. The next time I go and get my mail I plan on cutting a few branches to bring home for the table.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I have tried bringing them in but they don't seem to last long. Maybe a different variety.
DeleteAt least you now have the reassurance of a job well done. The lilac is beautiful. X
ReplyDeleteTrue enough. I am just glad my parts plan paid for it as it was rather expensive.
