A snail.

A snail out for its evening walk, it's shell sparkling in the evening sun. Sunshine and showers today, and a cold blustery wind.

Song Thrush.

The song thrush singing so loud that it filled the sky up as I was putting out the washing out,could not see it but it was somewhere in the garden,I think in the apple tree.
Spoke to soon about the Robin I walked up the garden path and he had a little go at me so said hello and he ruffled his feathers and went back to his nest.

White lilac.

The white lilac has just put in a show just noticed it this morning. Started of as a nice spring morning now the clouds are coming over at the moment it is dry.

A quiet wet day.

Two soggy wet cats just came in. The pigeons are all huddled under the tree cooing quietly to each other,
The resident robin has been quiet of late, no doubt being busy with his family.
Slugs and snail galore!

Slug and Snail Hotel.

As promised the rain came in overnight, but it made the green foliage really stand out,so vibrant.
Also it's bringing the slugs and snails out. The slug and snail hotel is now opened! Saw loads of silvery trails on the path and on the geraniums! The honeysuckle seems to grown overnight it looks lovely.

Honeysuckle.

The honeysuckle has exploded into a mass of green leaves and so many buds it's going to look gorgeous.

Dinner, finally & must.

1. Waited in for a parcel for a friend which never turned up. But had a nice diner cooked for me. Yum yum.
2. Finally came of a writing site, at first it was lovely to be on it sharing the written words with each other, but it has got very cliquey and a lot of the writing is very very dark, but hey each to there own.
3. Still plodding on with the hexagons, made loads without realising, but still got loads to do as they are small. Must try and take some photos.

Colours of nature.

All the different shades of green of nature mind boggling. An absolute beautiful sunset the colours were stunning, shame I didn't have a camera with me, mind you a photo wouldn't have gave the sunset justice. Not only that the other drivers wouldn't been happy if we stopped suddenly.

Happy Christmas Tree.

A beautiful crisp sunny spring morning would like to work in the garden, but at a friend's waiting for a parcel, which should of been delivered yesterday! Hopefully it will come today.
But did get to water their plants outside last night. The Christmas tree is coming along very well, it's seems very happy where it's been put.
They planted an other mini allotment, they planted potatoes, carrots, beetroot, radishes, cauliflower , then they are going to put in strawberries runner beans. So they are going to be busy.

Bees,bugs and birds.

A bumble bee buzzing among the red tulips, armed ladybird sitting on the fence having a rest.
Canadian geese flying home to roost at the end of the day.a bird of prey hovering over the motorway quite high in the sky.

Have a nose.

Geese in the farmyard having a good nose around. Saw the first bluebells under the dappled trees.
Bit chiller of late but still the sun shines.

Little insects.

Met a ladybird in the garden sitting on the fence, ants were busy going about their business . Wood lice peeking from their hiding place. Saw no slugs or snails, but saw their trails though. Dealt with the weeds. And must not forget the worms.

Say hello.

Out in the garden I will go and most probably be greeted by the slugs, snails, worms and whatever bugs choose to say hello.
Last night I saw the bright evening star shining as bright as could be actually it was early evening just before dusk changed into night.

Swan.

A swan sitting on it's nest looking so serene and graceful.

Promises.

Promises of warmer days lovely. But the nights and early morning is still chilly though, for we had a slight frost.

Yellow Butterfly.

A yellow butterfly fluttered by. Later at dusk two geese flew over to go home to roost.Woke up to a frost. How changeable our weather is! Warm spring days, then rain now frost, but it promises to be a lovely day.

An abundance of red tulips.

An abundance of red tulips this year, looking very lovely. The daffodils did not do well but never mind. Lots in the garden to do .
The Robin has made his self known again just put out the rubbish and away he went with his attack and then he saw one the cats and flew in his tree still arguing away. Bless him he is only defending his territory.

Shires Horses.

Sitting in the peace and quiet of the countryside while partner and son did some work. Saw my first white butterfly of the season.
Also saw three shire horses with their heads over the gate. Such beautiful horses, so graceful.

Spangling.

Birds nesting under the eaves. Cobwebs covered in dewdrops,Spangling like diamonds on a tiara.

Allotment.

Friends have done their allotment for this year, looking good.
 The huge birds nest in the tree seems to got bigger, it looks like a skyscraper.

Gardening In The Rain.

I have decided that I like being out in the rain while gardening not the downpour heavy rain, but what I call soft and gentle rain. The smell of damp earth Is lovely, also makes weeding a bit easier. That is what I did for a little while, and I noticed a snail.

Blue Tits.

An abundance of blue tits this year by the looks of things. And yes it's raining again! But not so cold.

The swans are back.

Rain and high winds again. This morning started of grey but by mid morning the sun popped out.
The swans are back in the local pond nice to see them back again.
I am sure the honeysuckle is going to be the best this year , that hard pruning did some good.

April is here.

A cold bright sunny windy start for April. Be interesting to see if we will have April showers. Blue tits carrying nesting materials, so they are very busy.
The resident Robin has been a bit quiet of late.
The daffodils are still bobbing along and the tulips are beginning to bud. Happy days.
