Decapitated trees, 2nd
Jun. 15th, 2023 07:19 pm Not only do those trees look horrible at the moment, they also no more give us protection from exactly the same neighbour the trees belong to. Or better, her tenant, which is an old lady beyond eighty, a bit deaf hence loud and always ready for excessive merrymaking. Yesterday´s merrymaking lasted way beyond midnight, and boy, it was loud! Must have been the main body of the firm´s staff who was present for barbecueing, and since the landscape gardeners had also cut all of the lower branches off to match the ugly appearance of the upper part, hubby and I thought we better should have brought a bottle of wine from the cellar and joined the pack. The tenant´s luck was that the vice major was out of house this night, or another complain by a lawyer would have fluttered in. That game is played since vet´s partner at the time and vice major´s husband had a major argument. Hubby and I dislike the situation very much, because we are in between the squabblers, while all we want is peace.
Today the weather was cloudy but warm, there even might be some rain in the evening. If not today then tomorrow. Not much, and I only believe it when I see it. Would be a welcome change after so many rainless days! And less watering as a bonus!
Since hubby had to be off around lunch time I prepared semolina dumplings with stewed fruit early then went into the garden, to assemble the rose arch son bought me for Mother´s Day. It´s a simple arch in dark grey, which I will put up between car port and fence and let honeysuckle climb up for stabilisation. I love honeysuckle. The one that crashed down from its fixture did survive and is still flowering. Its smell is fabulous, and the bees love it! Hubby is shocked- he thinks this way I will effectively block his way, when he has to bring on the winter coverage for the pool. I told my drama queen that he´d either have to put one of the pots with tomatoes aside or walk straight through the arch (don´t think he will be so dumb and carry the sheets upright), besides, pool gets covered in October, when tomatoes will be long gone from this place! When working in the Garden I also pruned the buddleia I planted into a pot last year. And I found the pot with the purple willowherb the vice major´s husband gave me last year as bee fodder. So glad that hubby had put it next to the tiny pond which is no pond anymore, because it´s leaking. But hubby always waters the iris which grows there, and thusly also watered a pot whose content he did not know. If this plant had died, neighbour´s husband might have started another war among neighbours. That´s what he can do best!
