And the rain came tumbling down again today – it really seemed to set in. It makes the garden look pretty, but I wasn’t so enthused about wallowing in the mud getting cold and wet weeding, so I thought I might trot around town and deliver some of the eggs we seemed to have amassed!
I dropped off a total of 4 dozen, but still need to supply both Margie and Ruby with a dozen each. No worries. Got plenty. Considering doing roadside sales with them soon!
Anyway, I dropped in to see what Ruby was up to & scavenge a cuppa. I found her pottering about her garden, oblivious to the rain in her coat and using an umbrella as a walking stick!
I admit I didn’t stick my nose in the hothouse until she knew I was there as I didn’t want a face full of water!! I stood back and called out, so she poked her head out and got me to turn the water off for her.
Ruby was feeling quite chipper, despite the gloom and rain. She had had a good nap and felt energetic enough for a stint in the garden
So we did a tour to see what was happening
I thought Ruby looked great in her rain-garden clothes so I made her stop for a photo – she totally got into the swing of it by posing – pointing toward her gilder rose 😀
We eventually went inside for that cuppa (and cake) and a catch up.
I told her I was heading home as Jeff had the fire on, and I could see an afternoon of comfort and crochet.
Ha!! Got home and because it hadn’t rained for ten minutes, Jeff had a fit of optimism and was back in the duck yard weeding!! Sigh. I couldn’t let him continue alone, so I dragged my grotty clothes back on and joined in the fun! I am sure I will get some updated photos tomorrow for you. The corn may get in the ground soon!!
Hope you have had a lovely day, and an awesome plan for the weekend
Cheers
