Nature of Things
Lifeless, colourless, stripped bare that is the feeling once the wall started losing it's clothing of many years, alas necessary by state of decay of man-made wall took a turning for the worse.
Hide and seek through leaves, months of flowering tried to save rooting to hopefully survive once again. Precast wall was here when we arrived, my dislike of them I planted jamine to cover with croton to bring in some vibrant colour.
Oh, that was many years ago, not venturing into undergrowth mostly hoped for the best. Alas high winds ripped through a portion open to elements, forcing my hand to look for replacement.
Completely exposed, my heart aches, realization of many years enjoyment, beauty abounding for myself and feathered friends now vulnerable. Cement and rock retainer build also done before we arrived, will have to check how secure they are now as well.
Tiny star shaped flowers with perfume delightful on air hopefully finds the strength in Spring to shoot up and grow once more.
Now wall brazenly naked, waiting for palisade to arrive as manufacturer ran out of all pieces required, hopefully by end of week this task is ticked off the list.
Week ended on a half and half, completed some planned tasks set aside. Nothing is straight forward, Municipality will require another visit with so many new requirements to hand each time one goes to learn more needs to be done, (no use phoning, they simply don't answer, or know what you talking about).
Wall half prepared, then abandoned for another, hopefully this week with palisade arriving, will be done and dusted, then I can settle back into something resembling _'normal'. _
Enjoy your new week to One and All.

Feathered friends don't pay attention to the broken fence. They are still happy to come and visit you.😐
Food and water available, really hoping not too many move away as I have such an amazing number in variety visiting of late.
Hello dear friend @joanstewart
I'm so sorry that the fence supplier ran out of materials and is delaying the restoration of the wall. I hope it's resolved soon and you can get back to normal.
Lovely feathered friends visiting you.
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and prosperous week.
Really hope during this week this wall is completed for security, then to secure plants that remain and replant once again for the bird life.
Thanks for visiting and kind words always Luis.
That is a very apt proverb today Joan! Well things are getting naked here, mind you winter is approaching!
