Hello Kristi,thats good of him that would have been a nice surprise when you got home. My hubby lacks in motivation, so when hes on a roll things get done.but when he's not. our deal at our house is he does the grass and poisoning and i do the house and of course my garden. but he does help in the house here and there.
He is a carpenter works hard doesnt get home till dark, he is exhausted by the time the weekend comes. i give him some slack, when we had our own places before moving in together, i cut my grass every week hubby cut his whenever. S o he is slowly getting better, although sometimes i need a dozer to find the garden lol. Thou i am lucky he is very sincere and a beautiful man(on the inside) which counts. He has been busy putting up a carport on front of shed,so i decided i would whipper snip and mow ha done one side of house and line ran out, then went to mower no petrol ha again. So i just sat back made a cuppa for us and we both watched the grass grow,lol

Lillian- my husband is not into gardening.. but he knows and supports how much I enjoy it. He does come out and joins me in the back at the end of the day (what no TV in the backyard and he still comes out). However, yesterday, while I was at work, he took the cargo van (his ex's) and hauled away the torn apart garden shed and awning so I can expand my veggie garden. How sweet of him. (Now before anyone says, well he should, he lives there, right? Well, no he doesn't.. long story short, we are married but live in seperate houses- for several reasons we decided this works for us!!). He cleans and tends to his house and I mine, well I tend to my garden and forget the house, he tends to his house and forgets the yard. With that being said-- it was wonderful of him to help take away my garbage. Laundrey, did someone say laundry.. heck NO, I have to plan for my next attack on the yard. New day, new project.

Welcome back Ken!

Hi Ken-Glad that you are home safely. That photo is gorgeous. I have a similar problem, I'll go out to the garden and see a beautiful bloom and by the time that I get Adina out to shoot it, it has faded.

Glad to be back home after a week on the road. Had a lot of fun though.
Found that my Agapanthus finally decided to open. Has been working on the bud opening for going on two weeks now.

Bummer while gone. My night blooming Cereus let loose with 9 blooms at the same time... the evening before we got home from the looks of the bloom.

Oh well.
Had a good soaking last night... the temp is right so it's off to do a little weeding and maintenance to makeup for a week of neglect.

Lillian how well I know. At least he is patient with me and my gardening and helps out a lot when I need him. We really had a good time and it was for a good cause. Wouned Warriors Project is the cause and they will be putting on a car each weekend in August. They really had a great turnout for the 1st weekend and seeing how hot it was today (100 degrees). We will probably go back next weekend too. Sounds like out husbands would get along great!

" the party's over, It's time to call it a day "..only took us 2 hours to get there after a few wrong turns..I guess ya know it's been a few years since I've been to the south fork of the Hoh... but we were only one hour late and still a lot of food.
It was a nice party and a lot of people ..thought I could rely on Rocky to tell me which road to take...didn't happen but next time I'll know....maybe!
