Okay, Good Things.
Jun. 19th, 2013 10:29 amRight. To balance out the crud, here's some good things I have been grateful for this very morning:
- My Clematis survived! I bought it in mid-May, brought it home and found it was infected with leaf wilt, a nasty fungal infection. The treatment for leaf wilt is to chop the infected vines off at the ground, as the roots aren't affected. So, that's what I did (rather than return it). I chopped off the lone vine and planted the young roots where I want the clematis to be. I figured that I wouldn't see hide nor hair of it till next spring, if it survived at all. Well, it now has four leaves with buds for more! Yay! And best of all, they look like healthy leaves, just like the advisers said they would!
- Three of my hardy glads have survived and sprouted! I had given them up for dead, seeing as I planted them in early May and haven't seen any signs of life. But, well, here they come! Hopefully more than those three survived, but I guess I'll have to be patient in finding out.
- My mum is arriving tonight! And on Sunday, she, my sister and I are off on a week-long road trip to PEI!
- Tea. Plain, unflavored black tea with honey.
- Alone time. Geoff's been taking a bit of time off work lately (he never changed his June time off form from three weeks to one), which is nice and all, but, well, it also means little to no alone time for me. Today he's off to do a favor for Former!Neighborlady, leaving me blissfully alone for a few hours. Yay!
