Alas Phil, you are still young and a perfectionist - shaping bushes and lopping branches are unnecessary luxuries at this hour. Took me ages as a young housewife to learn to stop dusting the lightbulbs… now I happily live with the dust and spend my time usefully engaging my energies in things productive 😁

I'm in Washington State in the USA, west coast near Canada. When it gets past the first week of July it's always sunny, through until mid September. Well, not this year. We are still in August and have had two weeks of clouds and rain. It's still raining. Our summer is gone, my garden hasn't produced any ripe tomatoes and I'm in sweaters instead of t-shirts! I'm so sad about it because this will roll write into fall and winter. Take the party in doors and laugh at the rain!
@girlnorthof603 ай бұрын
No ripe tomatoes? That says alot right there. We've had a really dry summer in the Yukon, so I've been praying for rain.The temp close to 0℃ at night now, I could see my breath on a walk at 8:30 pm... the leaves are turning 🍂

Even though it cleared up and party went as planned it's always good to have another day planned for a rain-date for any event so that gives a few days in case it does rain out. Sure Lightning's appreciates the charity getting funds and the MND one too. Everything always has a way of working out :)

Sad about the rain but on a VERY POSITIVE NOTE your garden in now in really good shape and if you continue with your efforts to clear all the unwanted plants and equipment it will become a super LOW MAINTENCE garden/terrace enabling you to do lots of fun things that you enjoy, so all is not lost. Keeping all bushes, trees just to the perimeter is also a super idea for swift mowing of large grassed areas - well done.
