Ruby Tuesday – Enjoying Spring in the Garden

Well… the big party is over and I think Ruby is still on a bit of a high about it all! Her home is stuffed full of cards and flowers – not to mention food!

People are still coming and going, but things are slowing down a little.

Emma and I dropped in yesterday to clear out the compost from the trailer into more accessible bags stored in one of her sheds.  We found her out the side of her house flinging weeds into the paddock!!!

So we got to work…

The last bit we tipped onto a garden which we will do something with probably tomorrow

Meanwhile Ruby is pottering about with her umbrella walking stick pulling up any weed she can see… and with her eyesight about gone, its in the bright sun she needs to do her work so she can see something.

I hadn’t planned to stay and garden, but I felt terribly guilty watching a 100 year old pulling out weeds like there was no tomorrow, so Emma and I decided to tackle one of the garden beds before heading to the beach to collect our seaweed.

Remember how I dug her potato plot last week? Before a few days had gone by, Ruby had gotten in and planted her potatoes! I knew she wouldn’t wait for me!! She said all she had to do was make a hole and poke them in!! No big deal! haha 🙂

If the weather stays nice we should get back soon to get into another spot in her garden, and not least, stay for a cuppa and help out with those party leftovers!!

Hope your day has been sunny and sweet too!

Cheers!
