The past few weekends, along with chopping down trees, my wife and I have spent a considerable amount of time, effort and money getting the garden areas around the house in some sort of shape. We cleaned up the entire rocky area down the side of the house and got pots and beds all over it. Then came the weeding and mulching and clean up planting of the front beds. Then we moved on to the back which now just needs a bit of planting to fill in the gaps and more mulching. Also I should mention the little sitting area, complete with zen fountain, that we now have in front of the house. Along with the sitting area on the balcony and the chairs to go in the rock area and my hammock and my wife's captain chair that go under the balcony out the back. All in all several ways of spending time outside and enjoying the peace and quiet out there. Not to mention seriously improving the outside presentation of the house. It looks much better now than it did when we got the place. A lot of work my wife and I have done.
She is really getting in to gardening and outside work now we are somewhere much quieter. I try to give her as much as I can to make sure this is a place she wants to live and it stays much better here than our previous place which was pretty much ruined by the neighbours we ended up getting.
As for other things, Fudge yet again has sauntered through his latest round of chemo and blood tests as if nothing is happening. He is just a happy little guy that happens to have stuff happening to him that he doesn't really understand. He is enjoying all the extra fuss and special treatment though. Having him happily snuggle up to us at night is nice even if we do get woken up more often with him moving about. More Fudge in our lives is a good thing.
So after our dinner of pizza and huge chocolate eclair it is time for us to curl up on the sofa together and enjoy our life together. There really isn't anything else I could ask for other to have this happy life with my wife.
