The rain has come, the beginning anyway. Cooler air, and drips all down my nice clean windows! But hey, my beautiful old fashioned pink rose is opening, as usual, my birthday rose will be fully out in time. And sitting just over that raving mad blue salvia which is a showstopper - I must remember to get a photo for you. One of the best plants in my collection that one...
Quilt and winter spread going through the laundry as I sit here. Thank heavens for technology. Imagine doing those with tubs and a copper, the way our mothers had to do. Small blessings...
It was my job to climb into the tub where the blanlets were in water & soap powder (or it may have been sunlight soap lathered up) & tread up & down to help get them clean, & then again as they were rinsed. And then mum had to somehow gather them up from the tub & persuade them to go through the wringer, which must have been no easy job with heavy woollen blankets.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
