Jess mentioned in an email that I hadn’t posted to my blog in a couple weeks. I hadn’t thought it’d been that long! First Randy got the flu, then when he got better I went to my sister’s for a week and when I came home I came down with his (?) bug within a couple days and when I was finally getting better the sun came out and it got warm and the daffies started blooming and there was all that yard work I had not done last fall plus the stuff winter brought down… so I’m getting my excersize! Spent today committing murder on the wisteria I mistakenly planted umpteen years ago on the porch of my studio. I’ve determined not to plant any more vines that are stronger than I am. This one tried to tear the porch off and the when I pruned it off that, it climbed the alder tree just off there. Problem is it cut across the path to do it and, besides, it was a bargain basement plant and has wimpy pale flowers, only in the top fo the alder where I can’t see them anyway so… it’s gone now. At least, it’s just a stump. I’m not sure how easy they are to kill! lol But I’m pretty proud of myself because I’ve not only got it done, I’ve got all the roses pruned AND hauled off the brush! All in the SAME SEASON! Don’t believe that’s ever happened before! :laugh: But the mess in the photo is the vines I pulled down out of the alder. Of course I had both cats and both dogs to help.
