It's been quite a nice day again. I didn't have to go in to school but I did plenty of work at home. On the off chance that spring is on its way I gave the santolina bushes growing in the yard wall, their annual trim. For now they resemble spiky hedgehogs but soon they will be pale grey hummocks sporting yellow button flowers. I was going to get on with the conservatory but when I finished my pruning I found a big blister on my finger. I took it to be a 'sign' that I had done enough work and sat out in the sun with a cup of tea and a book. Then I noticed that the lawns were looking a bit messy so I had to get the mower out and cut all the grass. The garden looks a bit tidier now mainly because the grass is the same height as the moss which seems to be taking over. Should I claim that I'm going for the Japanese moss garden look or try to do something about the moss? Perhaps I should go out and buy a moss rake and lots of grass seed.

I think perhaps you should go for the moss look. I often think it's better to let mother nature have her way than to attempt to stop her. I've tried both methods over the years--sometimes I win and sometimes I don't.
