my holiday weekend

My holiday weekend has had me spending a lot of time in the garden once I got the have tos done.  There are always too many errands on a Saturday that have to be accomplished before I can start on other things.  I got to try out my new garden fork.  My other one needs repair and I purchased an angle grinder for my Beloved so he can fix my tools.  I know he will use it for his business but the main thing is that I wish to repair my tools and not have to buy new.  Though, having two garden forks is really nice.  Especially if I am having a bit of help.

While I was buying groceries, I bought myself some flowers and a lavender plant.  I have not had luck with lavender in the past but since the mint is still going strong, I decided to give it a try.

I did bend one of my Japanese garden knifes in the process.  This picture was taken after my Beloved pounded on hit.  Hammer and anvil are nice but we are both aware that the blade will continue to bend as I use it.  I am thinking about putting a garden knife made by my Beloved on my wish list.  I have a knife wish list and this just another style of knife!

Last year, we had plenty of vegetables in the garden but not so many flowers.

I needed more flowers.  They are so pretty.  My garden is very wild with flowers and vegetables.  My neighbors probably hate me.  But it makes me smile and gives me peace.  I am always welcome to share my bounty with my neighbors.
