My "carbon copy of her Dad" grand-daughter turns 7 today! Enjoyed a visit with her (and all the girls) yesterday. They are growing up so fast. This year she is all about Monster High dolls...and whipped cream time...of course.
She and Emma are the same age now...well until August anyway! Chris and Lennon always shared the same age for a month, growing up :)
An absolute scramble just before the weekend...thought Aiden was going to rush things along with his arrival. Things seem to be back on schedule though. Hoping to finish his quilt over the weekend...and found a cute stuffed elephant for him that plays Brahms Lullaby, as well! James and Nicki make a good team as they create their new home/family together.
Its been a chilly damp week, here. No blooms yet...still just the tips of bulbs peering out as if to say
"Is the coast clear?"
and a few robins wandering around looking dazed and confused.
Falling back and regrouping on the patio gardens...I think I have it sorted with the arrival of Sue's arbour...going to paint it to match the wood on the patio and add two identical David Austin climbing roses...I'm thinking
"A Shropshire Lad"
Delicate pink...huge old World Cabbage Type with a rich English Rose scent. Tremendous climbers. One on each side should have the arbour covered in no time and will make sitting out in the summer ever so nice!
Assuming it eventually stops raining, and the sun (and warmth) return.
A Cinderella weekend for me...with everything clamouring clean me...scrub me...dust me...
Back to the household...because it appears the maid has ran away with the gardener...
