I went to Ten Yen for lunch and got the chicken sub gum. I spent the rest of my lunch hour cruising Hines Park.
When I got home after work, I immediately changed into shorts and a tee shirt. I went out back and, using the plastic tubes and gutter screws (I couldn't find any aluminum gutter nails), I set up the soaker hose. Then I turned it on for an hour.
I grabbed the wheel barrow, a shovel and my gloves. I went out front and dug away the winter debris from each end of the driveway culvert (it fills up every year). I also dug out the one dead rose (the yellow one).
Why does every yellow rose I plant die? I dunno...
I noticed the iris were starting to bloom, so I took some pictures for you.

I cut some more lilacs for the table, buttoned everything up and went inside.
I made a small side salad, topped with bottled Thousand Island dressing (just to be different) and warmed up two slices of the latest broccoli cheddar quiche.
I watched some TV, but went to bed at 10:00 p.m.







Maybe Yellow is a weaker species...I can't keep one alive either
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I was feeling like a failure. :(
ReplyDeleteCan you leave the hose in year round or is this is a put it in and take it out each year thing?
ReplyDelete@ Jake: I take mine in here, but I buried them in the hedge row in St. Clair.
