Today was the second of two unbelievably unseasonally sunny days in a row. A young friend came over to dig out the recalcitrant clematis for me. It was beautiful for about ten years, but it hasn't bloomed since 2010, instead scraggling all over the place and getting tangled up in things it shouldn't have been getting tangled up in, so it had to go (I still have one clematis, and it's behaving, including dozens of enormous pink flowers last June).
After she left (she stayed a while to play with the cats -- she's studying to become a veterinary techician, and is passionate about animals), the cats and I went back out in the backyard where I dug a lot of weeds (I haven't weeded the back flower bed since last fall -- the weather's just been too icky most of the time) and cleaned up and threw away a bunch of dead pots, too.
One of which was about a quarter full of dirty water and nailed me in the face before I realized it was [wry g].
But it was so nice to get out in the garden. Esp. with feline company.
And you know it's heading towards spring when cloudless weather means bright sunshine and warmer temperatures and not a temperature inversion resulting in thick, heavy pea soup fog that never burns off and air quality warnings all over the place.
