Reaping the Harvest

    Terrible cards at Bridge today - I only played one hand and didn't make the contract. It was a ridiculous 5 clubs and I have no idea how we reached that! The other team won two rubbers and were leading in the third when we decided to stop.

   I walked over to the Senior's centre for Bridge and was lucky that it didn't rain coming or going as it was pelting down at one point while we were playing. Good for the garden, though! Things are winding down out there and I have started clearing the beds that are past their best. Some of the perennials are putting on a glorious show, especially the sedum. I will leave it to over winter as it makes an interesting display among the drifts of snow. 

   Still picking tomatoes but the cucumbers, rhubarb and zucchini are done. I made a small jar of rhubarb relish to finish off the last few stalks so that will be a lovely reminder of summer on my meals later in the year.

  1. I don't understand bridge but it sounds like the cards were just not very kind to you.
    I have to focus on the garden a bit in a few weeks. Just for now, dead heading is all that's needed plus picking the harvest. xx

    1. I just started playing after I retired but am now quite addicted to the game. I also play online occasionally.
