A lovely summer day, warm sunshine a blue sky with a few white clouds, no rain clouds in sight and a gentle wind not a breeze as the wind is slightly stronger than a breeze.
Bees buzzing in the garden lovely to hear them buzzing.
The apple tree is loaded with a load of apples so hopefully a good harvest this year.
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Busy,Busy.
In between the showers it warm and sunny. The grass is beginning to grow again after being mowed to practically nothing. Glorious shades of greens in and around the garden and countryside.
The ants are still busy busy! But they stopped for a while to entertain some slugs who came to visit them.
The slug and snail hotel is overflowing now so an other hotel has opened up just near the nettle clump.
Plenty of bees about but not seen any butterflies yet.

Life stil the same.
Just got the grass cut in time as it started to rain heavily again. Mind you the grass was overdue to be cut, due the weather and other things . But it's done now.
I have got an ant hill equivalent to a skyscraper but I am leaving it due to the fact I have no ants indoors! I respect the ants and hopefully they respect me.
The slug and snail hotel has been open for a while very happy residents, but I am still doing the snail and slug dance.
Talking about residents the Robin has been quiet stil about but he still here. Also I now got a resident blackbird with white feathers in his wings, welcome mr blackbird.

Freezing Fog.
Woke up to a grey freezing foggy morning. But it doesn't stop the birds from going about their business.
The dampness of the fog seem to enhance the bare trees and the bushes. The daffodils are standing bravely this morning.

All Things Yellow.
The yellow bush who's name has escaped me is slowly coming into flower. The daffodils have put on a good show front and back alike a good year for them in my garden. And the sun has decided to go on a mini break somewhere warm.

Beware of the Robin.
Woke up to a wet morning grey skies, a heavy downpour, then the sun decides to pop out and shine, then it hid behind the grey cloud as it passes.
Got a blue tit family nesting in the back garden, they are out of harms way. The residential Robin is still with me, and he is now used to us coming and going , but if anyone else comes up the path BEWARE! Does he scolds bless him and the noise he makes!
