I think the New Dawn will bloom this year, I pruned it last week and there are several long green canes leafing out!
The yellow rose by the driveway has given up the ghost I think. as did several others, but the ones in the rose bed across the road look as though all but 1 or 2 made it through the -20 cold snap in February.
Hired grandson to come up and do some raking and tomorrow he will do some mowing, looks as though Spring is here at last.
I have been trying to find someway to declutter without parting with much "stuff"...well, sorry to say, after getting rid of old papers [will use for mulch under the shredded bark], taking a few clothes to thrift shop and sending some books to the book sale at our library, there isn't anyway to do it. I am a "get attached person", I'm afraid, although why I am keeping some of my possessions I have yet to figure out!
I have read all of the "DeClutter" books, joined messies at Yahoo,faced my own mortality [and there's a WAKEUP, if there ever was one] and I am still dragging my feet. Think I will pack up a box of good stuff or two and send it to an auction..if I never see it again, I probably won't miss it.
Time to go, kids are coming for afternoon gab, coffee and cake...next week is Mother's Day and that means lots of company and fun.
I found a really cool link today,will try to post it here for everyone to enjoy.
Til next time....
