totally out of control and seriously requiring a short back and sides...what used to be a medium sized fern wouldn't look amiss in an Amazonian Jungle...
let's not forget the carpet of weeds which now resembles a shag pile and the poor flowers struggling to hold their heads up in the deluge...
not to mention the fact that I think I may well be teetering on the edge of DIY insanity...well the symptoms are plain to see...paintbrush permanently welded to my right hand...brain even more befuddled than usual by the paint fumes...incapable of making any rational decisions and before you ask I'm currently sitting on the "leave well alone"..."don't rock the boat" fence on the colour of the walls but who knows when a moment of madness will take over and I'll be heading for B&Q for the alternative.
But first I need to head for the cubbyhole in a valiant effor to tackle this month's card for Penny Black Saturday...yes another skidding in by the seat of my pants crafty session and it's so long since I made a card let's hope I haven't forgotten how but it's not all doom and gloom news...THE RIBBON GIRL was 3 years old yesterday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS and to celebrate they are having a fabilicious Summer Themed Red White And Blue Give-Away over at THE RIBBON GIRL BLOG...so hop on over and leave some birthday love whilst you put your name in the hat...
toodle-oo for now and I'll see you all tomorrow.
Hugs Kath xxxx
Hi Kath, my Clematis is the same, 3 times bigger than last year, but only about six flowers on it. Loads of flowers last year. Have a good day. Love and hugs x ChrisB
ReplyDeleteMy garden is struggling again in this heat - as am I. Yes I know it's 4am but couldn't sleep in a house that's 30C inside (22 outside) so got up, went to the summer house and made a couple of birthday cards! night night.... X
ReplyDeleteAh yes, triffids in the garden....unfortunately we are the same - and the weeds are having a field day this year too. Happy birthday to the Ribbon Girls! Don't overdo the DIY Kath........ Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteMorning Kath I have some ferns and grasses that we have already cut back once and are now humongous again! Glad to see you have resisted the urge....so far!! Susan x
ReplyDeleteWE live in a jungle too, it's incredible how everything is twice as big as last year!!!!
ReplyDeleteToday it will be extremely HOT, don't know how it's in your part of the world but take it easy Kath!!

Hi Kath, Our weeds are doing a happy dance it's so hard to keep on top of them with the rain we had a few days ago.... Happy Friday to you & Buddy...Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteWe have one of those days today after a boiling hot day and night storms then sun then storms again
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean about the garden taking over, and the spell of heavy rain split one of our 'dwarf' conifers. Love the butterfly card made me smile the colours are so bright and sunny
