morning ladies 
Another lovely day on its way.
You are not alone, Lilith lol. The olive tree we had never fruited or even flowered until I gave it a good stern talking too. The next year we had ONE olive lol. And I tell the roses they will be gone if they disappoint. I've thought of a spot where the knee-high dahlias can temporarily go and will get that done this morning. And there is a bag of spring bulbs similar to ixia to find a home for. They spread quickly so might have to be constrained to a pot.
Claude Monet, the rose that was broken to bits by the tree, has SIX flowers and another bud. It bloomed three at the end of last summer which surprised me. And the leaves have gone from yellow to light green. I'm nursing it along in a pot for now and it will go back into the garden once fully recovered.
It looks like we will have two trips to Whakatane/Opotiki in the New Year. One will be to scatter MrK's brother-in-law's ashes and the other is a road trip mrK has been wanting to do for a very long time. It's been years since we have been that way, so we are both looking forward to it.
Will work a bit more on the hardanger piece but am running out of thread. If we are in Tauranga next week it will mean a stop at Spotlight.
Happy crafting
