morning ladies 
Another beautiful day on the cards here.
I've seen that FB page, Jan. Omg some of the gowns and other items they show are just stunning. I drool over the embroidery and really appreciate the work that has gone into them all.
Yesterday I started digging out some of the concrete fill edging around the garden so I could weed around it properly. While I had a few bits out on the lawn, MrK saw it and said, well, that looks better without the edging. OMFlippinG!! Twice in one day he agreed with me after years of 'debate'. So, before he could change his mind, I started digging out more lol. There is a compromise though. The area down the west side of the house where I was going to put sleepers and pebbles will be concrete fill stepping stones and pebbles. As long as the concrete stepping stones are set well into the ground and not wobbly I was happy to 'deal' lol. Our farming neighbour has said he will take the rest of the edging for either filling low spots on the farm or supporting our creek. So, by the end of spring, I am hoping it will all be gone. Well, 95% of it anyway. I will be sooo happy to FINALLY get rid of it all. I would love to know how many tonne of concrete fill I have dug out of this garden over the years. At long last there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The blueberry we were given is doing well in its tub and even has flowers in spite of being cut back severely. And we have peas almost ready for picking. There are more blossoms on the plum tree. We thought we would lose them thanks to yesterday's frost but they seem fine. We did lose magnolia flowers though
But MrK pointed out some new flowers starting so not all was lost.
I'm back outside this morning digging out more concrete edging. I'll take pics so you can see what I mean by dangerous. One good topple over and anyone would do some serious damage. And without an edging I can get the wheelbarrow into the garden a lot easier. I also have a fuchsia that has outgrown its tub so needs to be planted out in the garden. It can go in the part I worked on over autum. And the blimmen violas, as sweet as they are, need a good hack back before they take over the world. So, a bit to do.
happy crafting
