Pruning and Playing.......

Big brother David flew in Saturday and brought his

wii with him...........hmmmmm that really doesn't sound right does it

I'm glad it's spelt different. lol.....David spent Sunday at the hospital

with his Dad, they both needed to spend time together alone....

Then last night we all played tennis and bowling...O.K I now

know what every-one is raving about...It was so much

fun, I haven't laughed that much in a long time.....Above David and Chloe

are still playing and it was 10:30 p.m by this time........David, Chloe and

Alanah left for the coast this morning.......The girls will

be back Wednesday and Karen and David will be back again next Saturday...

Meanwhile I have been busy in the Garden.

I love pruning plants and sometimes I get a little carried away.

Like Today..
I loved this topiary, but it was getting to big and was full of
wasp nests.........so I decided it had to go!!!!!!!!!
Now it looks so bare..
Can you see the size it was, The second photo is taken from in the house
and you can see part of it in the right hand corner. Then above is the stump
and my bare garden.I'm not sure I like it....
Below is the ball of green...see it was getting way to big.

I will plant something else there, I'm just not to sure what!!!

While out in garden I spied the first of the

hyacinths coming through around the rose bushes.

I have finished pruning all the roses

in the garden, as you can see there is already

new growth on them.....I love the winter garden

when all is pruned and asleep...

Then in other parts of the garden it is confusing

as some of the clivias are starting to flower
I even found a jonquil in amidst the naturism's while weeding.

As you see we all a great week-end

lots of gardening, planting and lots of playing.

I hope you all had a great week-end as well...
