Mom has been working outside in the garden.
She had an azalea bush, HAD, the last one
in the flower beds around the house.
Several years ago she & Dad removed
all the shrubs around the house because of
maintenance reasons, she is so glad of that.
maintenance reasons, she is so glad of that.
But, there was one stubborn azalea that would
not come out.
Well, over the winter it gave up the ghost.
So with a handy ax & pruners, Mom got it
down to ground level.
We were hoping Candid Camera was around
so everyone could have laughed as hard as
we did with Mom using that ax.
Since it is impossible to remove the dead roots,
second best option was a planter filled with
pretty flowers.
That was another Candid Camera moment.
As Mom had to move the flower container
which is pretty large and already filled with dirt
into place, but she did.
She was pleased with the results.
Good job Mom,
I'm just amazed at what I saw!
And that is our thankful post this week
from the Garden.
Your human did a good job!

Well done to you Mom, sounds like she did a great job. Thanks for the purrs for Skipper she is at the hospital getting lots of test done.

ReplyDeleteYour Mom did an excellent job and we love her choice of things she put in the planter!
ReplyDeletePepiSmartDog: your photos are always so beautiful! We love seeing them. We have some azalea shrubs in our garden, but we rather like them cause the birds sit in them under the trees. Your cat statue is gorgeous too.
