Winter Gardening

Last weekend my mother and I helped one of our dear friends with her backyard. It was filled with dandelions. It was my job to dig them all out.... I had no idea they were such stubborn little menaces...
It was freezing that day. Well, not technically freezing, but almost.

Our dear friend was so kind as to bring out one of her own plaid jackets. I was instantly taken with it. Her house was built in the 1950's and she is in her late 80's. So, being swept up in my surroundings, I imagined I was a chic 50's housewife working in her backyard. Didn't Lucille Ball wear a plaid jacket in one of the episodes of I Love Lucy?

Anyway, I'm still waiting to here from several schools in the UK... Hopefully one of them will admit me... :)
