Today Jackie spent two more long sessions on clearing the east side
of the Front Drive; the first in the morning, taking her about half way;
the second after lunch, taming a stretch of rose Félicité Perpétue.
I rendered minimal assistance in chopping and bagging some of the clippings.
This morning I had posted
This evening we dined on a rack of pork spare ribs in barbecue sauce with Jackie’s savoury rice and melange of onions, mushrooms, runner and broad beans flavoured with oregano and basil. I drank South African Coastal Region Pinotage 2022
When did that woman find time to cook? Being Head Gardener and Culinary Queen sounds like two full time jobs. Her hard work is paying off.
Usually early morning – making enough for the freezer for several meals. Thanks very much, Pat
That’s a lot of great work, Jackie! 👍🏻😊
Does Jackie ever take a break?
It’s probably what keeps her young!
Only when forced, Dale. Thanks very much
Haha! I don’t doubt that!
Wow, I’m exhausted just thinking about all the work Jackie does!
Thank you very much, Merril
A task that is definitely keeping her busy.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Your dinner sounds very good!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
It looks so much better! Great work Jackie!
Thanks very much, Crystal
Chopping and bagging are key skills.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
After a hard day’s work your marvelous dinner would have been a fine finale …
Thanks very much, Ivor
I had the same thought as Ivor 🙂
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
Looking good! I’m going to try the chair for big jobs, too. It just makes sense. 🙂
Thanks very much, JoAnna
Snap! I opened a bottle of the same last night 🙂 Jackie is inspiring.
Great minds…… Thanks very much, Anne
Excellent work, Jackie! Your gardening and your chef-ing! 🙂
Chopping and bagging are important jobs, too, Derrick! YAY! 🙂
(((HUGS))) for both of you!! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much from each of us, Carolyn XX
That’s a lot of work, Jackie!
Thanks very much, Aletta
Busy, busy, busy! The results are an oh-so-beautiful garden.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Jackie’s dinner sounds lovely. And to cook such a wonderful meal after a hard day of work!
Thank you very much, Lavinia
Jackie is always so busy. We need to declare one day a week “Jackie’s rest day” to make sure she gets a well deserved pause.
Thank you very much, Bridget. I do my best to encourage it.
I agree with Bridget, but should also include a takeaway, feet up and Richard Osman’s first book in the series, The Thursday Murder Club.
Thank you very much, Sue
