Daylight savings

The biggest benefit to daylight savings time is the extra couple of hours in the evening that can be dedicated to wandering around the garden with a glass of wine pulling weeds and plotting the next adventure. Tonight, the light reminded me of my childhood garden in Wood Road. I've mentioned before how much I enjoy the social aspect of gardening on a corner lot in a friendly neighborhood and Wood Road was very similar. My  friends lived next door and it was just a hop over a short fence to get into each other's gardens (careful not to trample on Hayden's shrubs). And being situated just up the road from the ex-servicemens' club and the local bowling green meant the sounds of team encouragement floated up the road into our garden. "Come on, Peter Walker" was  a constant refrain that stays with me today....although I didn't know him, it was obvious that Mr. Walker was the star of the bowling green and he would saunter back and forth to the club with a jaunty walk and a constant smile on his face.  Thanks for routing around in the attic and sending me some photos of our old garden, Katie and Dale!
