Another month of the year gone so quickly, but the weather has been good and a lot of jobs in the garden have been ticked off, so that's good. I over-seeded the top lawn last week, I haven't seen many birds stealing the seeds so fingers crossed we should see signs of growth in the next couple weeks. I also went ahead and purchased two small raised beds for the top of the garden, we have yet to fill them, but that's ok I'm not ready to plant anything out just yet.
The one last big job outside is to jet wash the path and patio, that is on tomorrow list of things to do.
We still have daffs out and for once they haven't been battered by rain or snow.
The grass just before over-seeding, there should be fewer bald patches in a couple weeks
Yesterday was Mothers Day here in the UK, we went out for lunch with Joanne and the kids, Stevie and Jenny popped round later in the afternoon. They all spoilt me with lovely cards, flowers and gifts, Joanne also got me a seat I can use for gardening and planting, that will save my poor knees 😂, (not in the photo as it wasn't assembled)
As you know Joanne and Gavin are no longer together but he usually makes sure Bonnie and Jacob have something to give Joanne for Mothers Day but for some reason he didn't offer to take them to buy her anything this time so me and Mark took them out on Saturday to get flowers and choose a gift, they also made her cupcakes while they were here.
They wrapped everything up and when I took them home hid everything in Bonnies wardrobe, they were so excited to give her the things they'd bought, Joanne said they went and woke her up at 6am 😆
I've been for my second physio appointment this morning, I think the exercises are slowly working and he was happy that I could now do a more difficult version of one of them. I'm still in pain most days, some days are worse than others but I'm following the exercise plan so hopefully one day everything will settle down.
Mark had the results of his prostate biopsy last week, it was benign, so nothing nasty to worry about, which was a relief. He has another appointment in June to assess him again to see what they can offer him in the way of help as his prostate is enlarged and that's what's causing him to have frequent bathroom visits. The letter also listed some of the treatment options, tablets are the easiest treatment, the operation for more troublesome cases doesn't sound very nice and requires time in hospital and at least four weeks at home. Needles to say he is hoping that he will be able to have the tablets option.
I've been stitching lots this past week and made great progress on my Hoot in a Boot which I'll share next time.
Wishing you all a wonderful April

Your garden always looks so beautiful, Maggie! We need to over-seed our yard this year, too, as so much grass was lost due to our lack of rain last fall. Our daffodils are just blooming now--hope we have them for a few more weeks. Glad you were spoiled on your Mother's Day and that is so wonderful that you went with Bonnie and Jacob to buy gifts for their mom and helped them make cupcakes. Glad you are seeing a bit of improvement--hope it keeps up and I hope your husband can take a simple tablet each day to help. Take care now--and Happy April! ♥
Your garden looks lovely, March has gone in a flash.
Your garden is looking lovely.
Enjoy this weeks promised sunshine.
All the best Jan
Seeding the grass is a job on our list too. We had looked into having new turf laid but we got quotes and it would be an eye-watering amount, so we'll throw some seed down and hope for the best, haha. Glad you enjoyed Mother's Day and that you helped Bonnie and Jacob spoil their mummy too. Good news about Mark's results, and I'm pleased to hear that your exercises are working, fingers crossed that the pain subsides eventually.
Your garden is so lovely !
You have such a lovely yard.
God bless.
