Domestic Goddess

Why do I feel the urge to clean the house to a standard hitherto unmatched since my last holiday? The ‘Marigolds’ have been put to use as I cleaned and sorted to a degree that will only be appreciated by my plant waterers if they care to look. 
Just as I felt organised,I looked out of the window to see that the high wind had torn the climbing hydrangea from the wall and it  was lying prone on the ground, not a good sight and so little time to get it fixed before Saturday. Then I remembered my knight in shining armour- EcoDad. Would he, could he help a damsel in distress? You bet he could and he plans to come later to fix it back on the wall. You could  have heard my sigh of relief over the sound of the wind.

It really is windy out there and lots of young leaves are being torn off trees and blown about. There was no swimming this morning in the rain. It did brighten up during the morning but there are occasional swift and brutal showers of rain blowing horizontally over the Meadows.
