Clematis.....

Our new clematis did bloom. I love them. We had a two clematis in town, one on the mailbox and one on the entrance arbor. This is probably a bit sad...but hey ! it is blooming. Being on the east side of the house , it should make it through winter easily. This was not such a good year for my flowers, as it has been so very hot. , then there was the hard freeze in spring, it hurt somewhat. There's always next year, I guess. I plan on treating myself with a nice new rose bush on mother's day. I have seen everyone's flowers on blog sites. You are all doing very well. I saw some pretty roses just this morning on someone's site. That is not the easiest thing for me to grow.
  Yesterday, I caught the neighbor's goats ...out of their pen and in my yard ready to eat our plants. We ran them home with the garden hose,they hate water on them(?)... we penned them back up and it was not 15 minutes they were out again. We called the man to tell him he needed to fix the fence. He had Ted help him with his rickety old fence....good grief . I told the neighbor, this is my last time penning up your goats, fix the fence. Do you think the goats would go eat his beans or corn...no !!! they came straight to our yard. You can tell I am not happy about it all.  We never bother people , we mind our own business....all I want is the same respect. Things like this make me long to be back in town.  The topper is their lackadaisical attitude...saying "oh well you have to expect things like this." NO, NO I DON"T !!! Sorry for whining and ranting ..LOL.  xo

  1. Goats?!! I would be complaining, too! Don't they eat everything? ;-D

    Your clematis looks wonderful. Mine blooms late summer but it is so pretty on the arbor right now. It gets white flowers. Hope you are surviving the heat!

  2. Beautiful clematis blooms! I don't blame you about the goats. It is the neighbor's responsibility to both his animals and you (as neighbors) to ensure they are fenced in!!!

  4. Your clematis looks great- very healthy looking. Ours are almost past bloom now.

    I hate neighbors that have attitudes like that-it is too bad. I love that you spray them with the hose! xo Diana

  5. We're not allowed goats in our little piece of country but we have new neighbors who seem to think this way about their dog, who gets out and heads straight for our house - oh well, she'll come home. They have NO CLUE that it burdens others or that a dog in the country can meet with a lot of trouble. I bet a goat could too!!

  8. You'd think they would have more sense than to come back if they know they will get hosed. It would appear they take after their owner! What a selfish attitude.
    The clematis is beautiful though. I love them, and can't get enough of them.
