I could have washed another window, but I pruned the roses instead. Dolly came out with me and enjoyed it until the wild wind was too much for her. I was done anyway, and it was pointless to clean away the dead leaves in such wind. That can wait for another day.
I like pruning the roses. I like being deliberate when I cut each cane, each twig, with a particular result in view.
I have to admit that I don't take the same attitude toward cutting vegetables.
Haha! My sentiments exactly! I love pruning but chopping vegetables is a little tedious. Temperatures in the seventies! Lucky you xo
ReplyDeleteFor one day, Clare! But it was enough. Then it rained hard yesterday and today it's all green.
DeleteHa! I occasionally think I should take a "knife skills" class. I love to cook, but am such a poor chopper/dicer/mincer. It all basically ends up in a very large and inconsistent chop. It works though. I get 'er done.
ReplyDeleteI should try and channel your spirit while I prune the roses and fruit trees/shrubs. It isn't something I feel confident doing and I suspect I don't prune vigorously enough.
Watching a rose pruning video was a big help to me, years ago. It was clearer than any book I'd seen.
