Just dropping in to show my latest dazzler in the garden. The Clematis was a new purchase last year and has survived the winter and established itself well. I am thrilled with the three blossoms and there are more to come!
A diary of my life in retirement - food, books, gardening, travel, grandkids, and other pastimes that fill my days.

Things are Looking Up
Couldn't complain about today's weather. We had a later than usual start to tennis but it never got uncomfortably hot. Home by 11:00 a.m., did a bit of gardening and thoroughly enjoyed the sunny skies and pleasant temperature. A lazy afternoon reading in the shade and am just about to barbecue some turkey sausages for dinner. Life's all good at the moment!

Depressing Weather
It only got up to 5C today and we had snow flakes falling all morning. 'Nuff said!

Pool Up and Running
The pool has survived another winter, albeit a relatively mild one, but the cover has taken a beating. I think it will last another year, fingers crossed.
As of today it is ready for swimming but still very cold, barely above 60F so it will be some time until I can get in. However, it is looking nice, just waiting for some summery weather. Tonight it is going down to 7C, not even very Spring-like!
