Hello! Sorry its been so long since I did a Ruby Update!!
It was a gloomy day but not a rainy one, so I went over to try to get a bit done in the garden – going to have to get my skates on to make a good go of it all before I leave for Texas!
There are a few things left in Ruby’s garden. Like most of us around the country, the season was disappointing in the garden for her.
I concentrated on three plots to get up the seed producing weeds. Hoping to get some seaweed and load up the gardens that Ruby doesn’t intend to use over winter. Less weeding in the spring.
A bit of spray has been used in some areas to clear out the garden. Sometimes when you are 100 you are allowed a few shortcuts!
These plots yielded a few potatoes and a couple of small pumpkins.
Not much luck with the pumpkins at Ruby’s place either! Just a few small ones.
Ruby had a bit of a wobbly day today! A few weeks back she sat on the broken milk crate and it pinched the back of her leg. It has caused her a lot of grief. She said today that she expected her leg to hurt, but didn’t expect it to effect the rest of her – she gets very worn out quickly.
I said its probably because she was cranky at the leg, which was why she was feeling worse than she should have!
She laughed and agreed. Ruby hates being slowed down. Never mind that she is over a century!! She gets really grumpy when she can’t get about full steam ahead!
So I said I was taking a photo of her cranky face
Clearly she doesn’t take me seriously!
It was lovely to come inside after digging in the garden for a few hours and have a cuppa (and scones!!!) with both Ruby & Margie and catch up.
We were talking about making a coffee table book out of her 100th birthday photos which Margie and I will get onto when I get back from Texas.
Ruby also stocked up on the cheap yarn in the local shop so she can continue to knit her squares, that Margie then sews together into brightly coloured knee rugs. (I really want to go back there myself and have a naughty yarn spending spree)(I must resist!)
Hope everyone has had a lovely day! Not long and the weekend will be upon us again! Yay!
Cheers
