This morning I seem to be wasting precious time fiddling about with Picasa but I wanted to show you what I see each morning when I go to make my tea.
This all is facing my kitchen window . The rose on th right of the picture is calle New Daw. Very pretty and repeat flowering . It cost £1.99, bare root and is growing in a scrap o fsoil between the slabbing and the garage wall as is the rose on the left of the picture, I cannot remember the name of that one. The label will be in the garage . It is also a repeat flowering. They are almost black spot free without spraying
In my back garden I have a climbing rose called Masquerade. I want to replace it this year because it has struggled ,ivy forsythia and wiegelia from next door have chocked the progress .Iwanted

This is a f favourite spot to sit when I am working in the garden and need respite.
There is a border at the right side of the picture that is being revamped . I have started planting this border but have decided I want a white border so many of the recently bought plants will be lifted and placed elsewhere .
My son stayed with me for a few days two weeks ago .  He cut 5 trees out for me . It has made such a difference

This is the border that was cleared for replanting . It is the one that is going to be changed again to a white border . A good selection of plants to start has been purchased .If the weather improves this afternoon I shall make a start  .

Since I'm trying to come to terms with my eye problems I cannot see the laptop screen clearly so when you see bad grammer and mis,spelling please try to ignore it.

This morning I have tried to order knitting yarn from the internet . I went through all the required motions then I must have pressed the wrong key and lost it .  I'm sure bluebell will sort it for me . She is still very busy painting her bungalow ..

Where I live we have had a few wonderful summer days , the evenings have been warm and still.
On Thursday I spent the whole day tidying  the garden where spring flowers had died back
Today I felt I had earned my time to sit back and admire the view
 
I tried posting 6 photo's of the garden but they disappeared into cyber spac . I'll have another try tomorrow .
I'm off for a little more lazing about with my knitting

A long time without blogging .
I find it very difficult to read the keyboard even with a lamp each side of the laptop . Also my fave just inches away .
 
I find it easier to knit and crochet than I do to sew   Woe is me atpresent.
 
I have been trying to finish off these two quilts.
One is now completed , the other one needs the centre 's doing
 
By magnifying the screen I manage to read some blogs but find it very difficult to leave comment if I have to leave verification ..
 
I will try my very best to keep in touch
 
I shall be quite .
happy to do niave quilting using Perle thread if I manage to put a quilt together.
 
Bye for now
