RDP – Monday – Soil

thanks to RDP for this unusual daily prompt https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2022/09/12/rdp-monday-soil/

Have you ever ordered soil for the garden and then later in the season when nothing is growing you wonder what on earth you were sent. I even gave some of that bag of soil away to the neighbours because it was more than I needed and they discovered the same problem. The soil became hard and clumpy and very little grew where it had been placed. I’ll never order from that garden centre again. They just ignored my complaint.

New Flower (June 28, 2022) – Himalayan Musk

….completely new rose for me

My neighbour, out back, was very excited to share his roses with me. This one was hidden from the street and I didn’t really see it until he invited me into his yard. He says it’s his favourite rose in the garden.

Thursday Trios – January 27, 2022

….another late post

All the days seem to run into each other and there are times when I literally forget what day of the week it is. I don’t think it’s an age thing but more of a COVID reality and winter blues combination. I’ve found it difficult to get out of the house to take photos and when I do finally get my coat on it’s already getting dark and the opportunity for taking photos of trios has diminished. Today’s trios are mostly from the archives but the three swans were captured by my camera earlier this week.

If you have trios you’d like to share, copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll get a pingback. Have fun! Carol
