I feel the urge to write a brief post…sat here in my comfy chair using the WordPress phone app…regarding a gardening afternoon on
Sunday, 10 January 2016
Because I did not get out the door till one, I didn’t have a long gardening session.
Restia looking surprisingly happy:
I didn’t think my sarracenia would do this well outside in winter (sheltered under a bench):
Some big branches had fallen in the bogsy wood:
You can see how deep they speared into the ground:
I managed to do some clean up of the center bed and part of the west bed.
And then daylight was gone.
I had begun with one ho mi and returned with two, a happy find in a clump of Solidago ‘Fireworks’.
Ironically, this is the book I had just finished:
And I think age caught up with me, because the next day I was so sore I had to use my mom’s old lift chair to stand me up. Fortunately, the sciatica like pain only lasted a day. I’ve now been waiting for over a week for another afternoon of dry gardening weather (so have much to report about the joys of reading).
Lucky you to get out in the garden. It was a calm day here for gardening, just not up to it yet. So have to live vicariously through you.

I kind of envy a real winter where one knows one will have just reading days.

I am glad that you got a day in the garden even at a cost.
