Preparing our Garden for Outside Living. 20 of 30 April Poems.

Preparing our Garden for Outside Living. 20 of 30 April Poems.

The Weather forecast predicted

a warm Easter for the U, K.

We decided to have a staying

at home Easter, tidying and

preparing our garden. We have

three “sitting” areas, depending

if we feel the need for sun or shade.

I took the area at the back,

a block paved area that also

has wood which is supposed

to be stacked but the winters

winds knocked it down.

I sorted and piled up the wood

up again, tided the bonfire area,

then began the never-ending

job of getting rid of the weeds

between the cracks in the paving.

My husband started on the

the area in front of the garage.

Our secret sitting area, we

can see the street and comings

and goings but they cannot

see us. That has artificial

grass, the winter weather

had disturbed it. It needed

refitting, glueing and sweeping.

He washed down the table and chairs.

Planted the huge parasol, then invited

me to come and drink coffee

while we admired our garden.
