Clearing Front Drive

Jackie has spent some time each day recently clearing the rather overgrown front drive. On another oppressively slate grey day she came to the end of the task.

Much of the solanum, roses, and honeysuckle trellis has been cut back; as have

shrubs on the other side, and the euphorbia by the front door cut down. The mossy soil is now mulch around roses.

I filled four more spent compost bags ready to add to the next dump collection pile;

Jackie then swept everything,

including these channels previously full of soil and weeds now replaced by gravel.

Later I read ‘Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds’ by Agatha Christie which I will feature tomorrow.

This evening we dined on Southern fried chicken; savoury vegetable rice; oregano and basil flavoured melange from yesterday, with which I finished the Morgon.

  1. Excellent, Jackie and Derrick! Everything looks so neat and beautiful!
    Yummy meal!
    We made Spicy Tortellini and Spinach Soup today! It’s been cold, rainy, and some snow fell not far from us. I think Winter was puttin’ on the show today. 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️

  2. Dividing big jobs into reasonable sections is a requirement these days. It’s still very satisfying to have them finished. Good work!

  3. Well done, Jackie! Pruning and clearing can seem like a never-ending task, but at least you can stand back and say “I am done” (for now) 🙂 🙂

  4. I agree with Pat, I would love to have your energy, Jackie.
    Four & Twenty Blackbirds is one I know exceptionally well, I look forward to reading your review, Derrick. 🙂

  5. Like Anne said, the one good thing is that after all this work, you can stand back and see what you have done. It feels good. If we here in blogosphere can tell how much work was done, then it must look absolutely great to you both. Well done Jackie. <3
