Rain stopped cutting .

Rain stopped cutting the grass, been away came back to grass quite long, round my way the lawns are neat and tidy cut till you can't cut anymore, while it looks nice it doesn't help with the wildlife, so I keep my grass resonably short, but leave  a patch for the wild life so the best of both worlds I hope, keeping the neighbours happy and more important keeping the wildlife happy.

Beautiful nature.

2 ghostly herring gulls flying overhead at night time, fascinating to watch.
A rainbow so close that you can nearly touch it and the colours so vibrant, you could see each colour of the rainbow so clearly. At to top it up a stunning sunset all purples reds and pink.

Lilac

The strong perfume of lilac out of this world.

Spring morning.

A lovely spring morning after all the unsettled weather we been having. Love to go out into the garden but have got to much to do indoors. But the honeysuckle is still doing well, lots of bees have visited it which is good.

House Martins.

The house martins have returned such joy to see them. Welcome back!

Hail stones.

Got caught in a shower of hail stones,forgot how much they sting when they hit you. A lonely daffodil bloomed in the pot, it was one of the bulbs I forgot to plant for an early spring show.

Tadpoles And Bats.

The tadpoles in the pond have grown since I last had a look. The midges have come out in droves and now is the time to get bitten by them. The dragonflies hover over the pond they are so pretty. And seeing bats emerging from their sleep.

Fruit Trees.

Friends fruit trees have arrived,guess what I be doing? Help planting them.
 I must badly do my own gardening. The garden is a mess at the moment. But I have decided to do a little each day otherwise I will never get on top of it.

The weatherman was right.

Well after the previous post not much happening, it's raining and raining. The flowerbeds near the stream have been planted with lavender bushes . I noticed that my rose bush is coming into bloom, hopefully the rain won't knock any buds off.

Not much has been happening.

Not a lot has been happening all is well. The weather has been rather nice these pass few days, but the promise of rain is upon us, been unable to get into the garden but hope to soon.

Lilac Tree.

Dull overcast morning but the weatherman said that the afternoon is going to be sunny.
The lilac bush near the stream is in full bloom and it looks gorgeous. But unfortunately even though the stream is clear it doesn't smell nice. Shame the scent of the lilac couldn't mask the smell,of the stream, that is how bad the stream is.

Like confetti.

As far as the eye can see nothing but bluebells. The blossom scattered across the grass like confetti at a wedding.
A deer in the road trying to get back from where it came from and fortunately it did.

Worms and Ants.

Worms galore! I have got so many worms in the back garden now, it's a good job I like them  and not scared of them anymore like when I was little.
And I noticed the other day the ant nest has gone. I left it alone and no ants came indoors,coincidence? I like to think that I respected them they respected me.  The worms I will leave them alone and let them get on with their work, but must tiptoe over them. A new dance for the season tiptoe over the worms.

Scent and Bulbs.

The scent of the honeysuckle is so gorgeous as I pass it to bring in the washing.
The bulbs i planted really late are flowering now. The tulips have finished flowering they gave an excellent show, but the daffodils didn't maybe next year.

Blossom.

A very blustery day yesterday the wind was very bad for this time of the year. The blossom on the trees have now fallen and it is a shame as blossom looks so lovely. But some trees have held on to its blossom.

A flash of red.

A flash of red in the garden this morning, haven't seen the fox for a while so was pleased to see the flash of red.
Really tipping down with rain.

Deer in the woods.

Some deer walking through the bluebell wood. Masses of blue bluebells under the trees. And the songs of the birds made a nice afternoon out.

Sparrow.

A sparrow running up and down on the lawn chasing insects.

Once again it's raining.

Sorry to be boring, but dare I say it , it's raining! Typical bank holiday weather,well in fact as the saying goes it's raining cats and dogs. And I forgot to bring in the washing ,I have to go and get it in. Might take a quick walk around the garden and try my new gardening clogs out.

Blossom.

May started off ok but with a chilly wind. The blossoms on the trees look gorgeous so hopefully the rain will hold for a while so we can enjoy the blossom for a little longer.  The pink and white blossom against the green leaves, nature got it right.
