Believe it or not, there's a flower bed under there. Most of that spent spring foliage needs to come out. Ugh. With my arthritic hands, the heavy work is starting to "get away from me,” as they say about old people.
Still, it's a pretty mess. The bluebells always remind me of a scene from the sweet 1990's TV series, "The Darling Buds of May," based on the English novels by H.E. Bates.
The main characters Pop and Ma Larkin beguile Cedric Charlton, a timid and stuffy tax inspector, into abandoning his investigation of their
finances by sending him out to view the bluebell field with their daughter Mariette, played by stunningly beautiful young Catherine Zeta-Jones. (He never knew what hit him.)
A gentle and funny series-- the kind they just don't make anymore. Check it out, if you feel like slowing down a bit in front of the TV.
