Line Down

This morning on walkabout, I made the mistake of looking up when I turned to my right on Sleepy Hollow Road. I noticed the power line pole on the little house was slanted. I kept walking along the road and following the line through the bush until I came to this. That is one huge tree that brought down another, both landing right on the power line. Consequently, my Lamb's Ears and Jacob's Ladder from Judy are still in pots. We spent our day with a saw and an electrician.

We can actually see the Little House now !

It has been busy days the last few. This yard at the guesthouse still needs some decisions on pruning made but it is much, much better than it was two days ago. Penny likes the new view. Miles has been mowing and Josh has been here running the weed whacker. There is real progress everywhere, especially on the private road that is once again useable. I have been planting still. Tomorrow is my last day and I am still not sure I will get through it all but I am off to visit Linda in her garden so what isn't done will be in Judy's garden or compost. I finally got all the Glads in. The weather has not cooperated at all with planting season and the storm two days ago hit us hard in the Shade Bridge Garden where it took out the lower trunk in that photo from the tree in the top right. Just missed crushing Sean's car. Didn't miss my orange Lily Garden or the raspberry patch. Both needed repair after the trunk was cut up and moved off of them. Better news is that the 'Winnipeg Parks' Rose, 'Morden Blush' Rose and Delphinium continue to open.
