You can never have enough...

morning ladies We have a small frost this morning that has almost gone. The sun's out too so the day looks promising.

Lilith, you are a legend buying Christmas pressies already. I usually start around about now to spread the cost but you are well ahead of me. Those eye spy books are great and kids love them.

We have spotted a few bees around the garden. The bumble bees are tricky to see when in the broad bean flowers lol. Once our huge tree flowers they will be buzzing. Literally buzzing. All you can hear in the garden in a hummmmm of bees. The local bee keeper usually brings his hives to the farm next door around this time of the year.

Yesterday's frost a more brutal than we thought. The grapevine took a hammering. Hopefully the new growth will be OK. On the bright side, the hydrangea cuttings, Yesterday Today & Tomorrow and camellia seedlings didn't even care.

I have one very messy corner of the garden where I have dumped excess mulch, the hydrangea prunings have been thrown over the fence and one of the poles I dug in to support dahlias last summer has been knocked over by the fencer. So that's where I will be this morning. While I'm there I will fill in the last two fence posts and spread the excess clay that's in a pile.

MrK received a letter from Waikato Hosp to say he is on the list for cataract surgery but due to Covid and staff shortages, the wait is longer than usual. At least he made it to the list.

Happy crafting
