In another life, we had hanging baskets and flower boxes on our front verandah, and what passed as lawn. With the recent upheaval, I had given up and eventually had emptied all the baskets and the lawn had rapidly unravelled into what we affectionately called "grass". I think the various weeds kept it green, and the artistic folk would call it "naturally windswept".
Nerida had purchased replacement flowers and she and John today came in to help me with the repotting and weeding. John made short work of the whipper-snipping edges and the mowing.
A huge thank you to our wonderful neighbours. We are indeed fortunate to live where we do.
Nerida came in after we'd finished asking if we would like a "garden ornament". Further down the street, there were piles of items waiting for a council clean-up. She'd spotted this gem, and thought it would be a perfect way to see if Alex was perhaps suffering from any chemo side effects not normally listed on the hospital notes. Thankfully he isn't.
Our other good news is that Alex continues to bypass any of the nasty side effects listed for the chemotherapy. He has spent the weekend "busy relaxing" and we've had friends visit so it's been another great couple of days.
PS The garden ornament continues her recycling ...
