Off to Work

May 3, 2021

AimeĆ© found herself a summer job working at John Henry’s Resort & Marina, which is located just down the hill in Garden Bay. Coming back is no problem with her ebike. It’s a full time position in housekeeping until the end of September, which is perfect as we plan to head back to Mexico in October. Hopefully it will be a great experience for her and it surely will help her english.

It struck me all of the events of the past five years that enabled this day: emigrating to Canada, studying english, learning to ride her ebike, and building the confidence to walk into the business to ask about employment. Congratulations AimeƩ!

More Roses

Today I received five bare root rose plants. You can see they are eager to grow. With great pleasure I planted them right away, one at the base of each post of my new rope swag pergola that I built this spring.

The idea for this came from watching Gardener’s World and it solves a design problem in the front garden, i.e., how to add vertical interest. The roses that I purchase are all large climbers that will be trained up the posts and along the ropes.

We are having summer-like weather and the garden is what keeps us busy.
