With what was a lovely, spectacular weekend, the Mistress decided to get outdoors and do some of the grounds work and clean up. Why was I doing it? Well, first off Ms. Moorecock was of no help, not even to be found. I believe she got lost in the shuffle Friday night over at the Raven Resort, and the houseboys are on spring break currently. I do like to give them a break now and then. But never let it be said I can't do some trimming and some domestic work now and then. Of course as any occasion around here, I always dress.
No gas mower for me....it's all about the environment, and I love a good vintage mower....
Be-bugging the Rhododendron. For once I was captured in this bush in a un-comprising position.
My advice with yard work is to stop once in a while to smell the flowers...and enjoy a gin and tonic.
trimming those bushes!
Handling a big stick, has never been a problem for me. I can handle the wood as much as the next person.
Not to worry though...it was all done and life was back to normal......
heh heh heh, you said "bush" and "wood".
ReplyDeleteSuch a neatly trimmed bush
ReplyDeleteI wish you were here to "do" all of my acres....
ReplyDeleteYou look divine, darling! And, also easy.
ReplyDeleteI mean, you make it look easy!
Oh, dear...
ply her with gin and she IS easy!
DeleteWell I'm glad to see you keep it understated.
ReplyDeleteThe Engineer is just waiting until we have a place where he can use a riding lawn mower/tractor/toy
ReplyDeleteLove this photo spread! I'd gladly wear any of your, I mean, those creations.
ReplyDeletedon't mind me, I'll keep a distance till you drop those sharp objects.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! I'm stealing that lawnmower one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a magnificent stately home, Mistress! I don't think you should trim your bushes yourself, though. Isn't there a strong-armed servant lad who'll trim them for you?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Corgis enjoyed themselves as well.
ReplyDeleteI must always leave the yard work to the yard boy. If I don't, why, he gets upset because I always do it wrong! Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a nice neat bush. Not too trimmed however!
ReplyDeleteMistress, I always knew you had such fabulous style. No wonder your neighbors are so jealous. Not anyone can just mow grass in a Escaada gown.
ReplyDeletetruly FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteNo one can wear a headscarf like you can. Just saying.
