Pineapple 1

We had a steady wind blowing all day but that didn't prevent the temperature from climbing up to 60F (15.6C) making it good working weather.

I enjoyed spending the afternoon working on clearing out the old leaves and dead stalks that had accumulated during the winter in the lawn flowerbed.

I then tackled lifting my irises out of the ground by the bird bath and removing the thread weed that had wound itself throughout their roots. It took a while to do but the results are well worth the effort.

When I came inside and after I made myself a cup of tea, I decided to do this sketch of a pineapple that I Christine had given me to use with the ham I was going to make for tomorrow night's supper.
