2/22 Last Rose

" There's so much to appreciate about my life every single day, and I make a big point of taking time to smell the roses and noticing how lucky I am. I never want to take that for granted."

Josie Maran

I wonder if this will be the 'last rose of summer' in our garden? I'm sure they have lasted so much longer than in other years. This one is a climber at the front of the house.

I've been outside in the garden for most of the day as there is so much that needs doing. I haven't done it all, so weather permitting, I'll be out there again on Thursday.

Some of the time was spent cleaning out the guttering which had accumulated leaves and moss. How exciting. However, I will need to climb a ladder to clean out the highest sections. Jayne gets very worried about this.

Work tomorrow morning and out for a meal in the evening I'm told.

Take care blippers x
