Our garden is putting on a lovely show...
The roses are not yet in flower but we have lily of the valley, clematis, hellebores, geraniums, white anemones, irises, tulips, and many more.
I captured this rhododendron on my walk.
A fly photo bombed my shot!
Its iridescent wings look quite like a jewel.
A pale pink soft rhododendron...
we don't have enough room for rhodos
roses take priority.
We worked in the garden on Saturday and some of Sunday.
Mr. HB planted tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse.
Radish seeds will be sown soon.
Russell Nursery
was hosting a
a pop up Vintage Fair.
I did not find any "rusty vintage items" for the garden
but I did find a new apron!
Made locally
I can use it both in the garden and kitchen.
The pockets are handy too!
Love the fuchsia fish !
My hands take such a beating working in the home and garden
despite rich creams and cuticle balms
mine rarely look cared for...
GRRRRR!
I've been experiencing a breakout of rosacea.
this condition surfaced in my early 30's.
The dermatologist started me on a round of antibiotics and a topical cream.
We got it under control but since then over several decades
more outbreaks crop up.
There is no "cure" for rosacea.
Redness control skincare products
(Avene)
using a gentle
touch
avoiding the sun
and
temperature extremes are also essential.
A cycle of IPL laser treatments
help to manage the condition.
I have had one IPL treatment and will need a few more...
the flushing, redness and bumps are difficult to camouflage.
It is frustrating and I do try to keep calm.
It's sunny outside this morning and the birds are chirping.
My to do list today:
~ wash the slipcovers ~
~ hand water pots and plants in the garden ~
~ write and publish a blog post ~
~ deep clean the sink ~
~ wash the sheets ~
~ walk ~
Love this soft almond scented milk concentrate...
I use this after my shower every morning.
Well I must stop procrastinating and get busy with my to do list...
(you may have noticed that I started the "do list" with my favourite activity)
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
Hope your week is off to a fabulous start...
~ Be Well and Be Kind ~
