Big Ouch.

Disturbed a cabbage white butterfly while clearing up the garden don't who was most surprised, then a ladybird decided to land on me. Whilst clearing the stinging nettles( I do keep some for the wild life) I grabbed them forgetting that I have no gloves on and a very big ouch and my fingers are still tingling this morning.

Butterflies & Robin.

White cabbage butterflies fluttering in the breeze nearby. The resident robin popped his head round as to say I am still here. It was lovely to see him.

Just In Time.

Raking up the last of the tree clippings against the background of pigeons cooing a wonderful sound. Just in time doing that, the pitter patter of the rain started an other wonderful sound.

Cuddle Some.

Rescuing baby snails from the downpour, they look so sweet and cuddle some. After a day of rain by the looks of things today will be a good day.

Ladybirds.

Done the main gardening jobs before the rain really started to pour heavily.
Saw loads of ladybirds yesterday and quite a few decided to land on me, maybe they like the colour I was wearing.

Going To Be Busy.

Hoping to get into the garden this weekend at the moment it's rare for me to have a weekend at home.
Lots and lots to do so be very busy ,hopefully the weather will be just right.

Seagulls & Pigeons.

My other half confusing seagulls with pigeons! The rose bush has three roses and one bud.

Flying Ants.

Everything is very much the same these past few days , apart from flying ants! Overcast in the morning turns into late afternoon,early evening sunshine, but very muggy.

Put On The Back Burner.

The fox hunting bill has been put on a back burner for a while GOOD. Then a friend sends over an article about what happens to foxhounds if they do not make the grade. Not nice reading.
On a more pleasant note, even though it's grey and rain is in the air it is quite nice out there. It's a bit fresher.

Wonderful Contrast.

Seeing the cornfields swaying in the breeze against the green of the fields, a wonderful contrast.

Something Interesting Not!

While sitting down something kept flapping outside from the hedge it just caught my eye, thinking it was something interesting I turned to look at it properly and it turned out to be the biggest bramble going.

Summer Is Back.

Summer is back after having a few grey but warm days with a few showers. The morning brings promises of a lovely summer day.
The grey blackbird is still busy bless him carry food and bedding for his nest.

Parakeets.

A grey dull rainy morning, it was brightened up by seeing a flock of parakeets in a graveyard. A lovely sight.

Beady Eye

The grey blackbird flew past me with a tasty morsel in his beak, he flew on to the fence fixed his beady eye on to me , then flew off again. Cabbage whites fluttering amongst the lavender bushes with the bees.

Along Came A Fox.

A grey wet morning turn into a lovely refreshing afternoon and evening. It was not to hot just right.
The fox came into the garden and sat with the cats for a while had a drink then went.

A Grey Blackbird.

A grey blackbird flew on to the fence, to be honest he had a little black in him. A tortoiseshell butterfly fluttered amongst the butterfly bush.

The storm was not that bad here. Woke up to a fresh cool morning. The smell of the wet earth hit me when I opened the back door and the two cats that were out in the storm just walked in as to say what's the fuss!
The cool breeze during the night was bliss.
And the slugs and snails decided to come out to enjoy the weather, most of them are back in their little rooms, the stragglers are just going back to their rooms.

The Storm Is Here.

And let the storm begin. The lighting is the brightest I have seen for a long time and the thunder is what I call awesome. The rain is falling heavily, but we do need this rain. Two of the cats are out they will not come in and the other one is sitting at the back door looking out.

Rain.

We had rain, it was short  heavy showers, but at least we had rain. The birds are back now it's cooler, the pigeons are strutting their stuff on  the roofs. But it's still hot but not as hot as the other day.

My roses are doing well a good show again. The ant hill is now quite busy now it's cooler.

85f in the living room.

A much fresher and cooler morning, the breeze is so much appreciated. Yesterday the living room hit 85f the hottest it's been ever. We had a heavy shower of rain in the afternoon, it was a short one. It was nice to see it. Hopefully we won't get an other hot day like yesterday. The forecast for today is patchy rain and a bit cooler.

Very Hot Morning.

At the moment a breezy sunny hot morning. The sky is so blue, but no birds, no bird songs, no insects not even a fly! The ants out front are quiet. The temperature indoors is hitting nearly 80f I don't do centigrade and  that's with the doors and windows open. The cats are finding somewhere cool to sleep.
