My First Clematis Flower!
Good evening...
Too much rain happening here, haven't been able to get outside much. My Clematis bloom opened, and it is beautiful! There are actually several buds. I believe it is a "Nelly Moser", or something like that lol, and it is pinkish with a dark pink in the center. Check back for a picture of it once the rain stops.
There is a ton of barn board waiting for us to pick it up. Friends are putting new walls up etc., basically rebuilding their barn/shed and we are taking some of the wood to perhaps use for wainscotting or flooring. The weather has not been cooperative. Besides Hubby has had a busy week at work. We've only picked up one truckload so far.
I haven't cut the grass in too long. Its just been too wet and the days the sun was out I was busy with appointments etc. Ugh.
Hello again...its Saturday now and I took a bunch of pictures of the Clematis and yes it is a "Nelly Moser". Its been overcast most of the day and I didn't use the flash on the camera.
So there you have it. I love how it stands out in the bottom picture! There are several other buds, can't wait to see them open too. I have no idea how long the flowers last. I have seen other ones (from a distance) covered in flowers.
Well, I pulled an all-nighter last night, don't know what happened to me, I just could not get to sleep. I do know I am getting too old for that LOL. It really hurt today. Hubby dragged me out garage sale'ing. We got some fabulous deals! At one place, which was a moving sale at a farm, they had a barn full of stuff. They had a lot of books and it was "fill up a box with books for $1"! I must have gotten 30 or so books for $1! I got books at every sale we went to. Another one had books $.25 for paperbacks and $.50 for hardcovers, I got several there also. I came home with at least 50 books! In total I think we spent less than $30. We got a pair of wooden batwing doors, for $2!, which Hubby has already installed in the kitchen doorway. We got a couple of nice lamps, lamp shades and a gorgeous ceiling fixture also for our kitchen. I got a handmade, plaid poncho and some glass candle stick holders. Like I say, less than $30 was spent, we had a great day.
Well I think I'll try to play a couple of games of euchre before I head to bed. I did have a couple of hours of sleep early in the evening, so I'm raring to go for now. I may have trouble deciding on a book to read with so many to choose from LOL!
Have a wonderful night.
