Symphoricarpus …..

….. that’s a bit of a mouthful to remember…. Snowberry is a much easier name.

Out for a birthday lunch today. My pal was born on the eleventh day of the eleventh month so it’s the one birthday I never forget. The House for an Art Lover was quite busy but the service was good and we had plenty of time for chatting as well as eating.

Another mild day but the wind is still quite blustery. My gardening boys came today while we were out for lunch…..grass cut and edged and the leaves sooked up. There are still hundreds of leaves to fall from my neighbour’s tree and my own ornamental pear tree so I’ll get the boys back when all the leaves are down and my pear tree can get its yearly prune. I used to do it myself but I no longer feel very secure standing on top of the shed.
