Monday Recently

How quickly the Mondays fly by! I've had this little post in mind for weeks...

It was a Monday recently when the gloriously beautiful weather drove us outside. And while someone was doing this: 

And someone else was doing this:

I trimmed the wild-looking vine which grows against the fence and finally mustered up the courage to cut back our rose bush. It looks much healthier now!

Just for fun, I twisted up the long pieces of vine,

And hung them beside the front door.

And the sprigs of green I trimmed off the rise found their way to the kitchen windows. :)

That's almost it for the gardening this year! I have to keep things small--I am not a green thumb by nature. I must have missed that gene! But some friends have us their leftover tomato plants, so I put those in. And I actually did a bit of an experiment inspired by something I saw on Pinterest! Each plant has a whole raw egg under its roots. I cracked the egg under the first of the four, and it's presently thriving the most. Perhaps we'll have some tomatoes this year!
