I have just watered my Christmas cacti and Easter cacti and found some flower buds on the Easter ones, one I thought I would not see flowers on as it is so old and I have never seen flowers on it at all. Glad I am doing something right. I have not got green fingers, but do my best.
Need to get the garden sorted keep saying that, but it is not happening at the moment, I have to make it happen think small and start!
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Happy days.
Watching Canadian geese land on water they are so graceful. Mind you so are most waterfowl when they land.
The foxes are around they attacked my re -cycling boxes. They did not find anything as it was all washed up. Wish they would tidy up after themselves!
The other day I saw a couple of orange tipped butterflies. They too are so graceful when they fly.

Been a bit busy.
Been helping cutting down a conifer hedge over the weekend, laying turf and planting honeysuckles, not in my garden but someone's else's.
The blossom is still out . It's still on the chilly side but the sun is out and the sky is blue.
The blackbirds what are in my hedge are still there,they are busy at the moment. My cats seem to have left them alone and not bothered them.
But I do have problems with un neutered toms . I have 2 females cats and 1 tom, which have been neutered. As soon as they was old enough I had them done. But why don't people have their cats done? I know a couple of people said the cats should have their little pleasures! Well um.
I know it is none of my business.
I have not seen any foxes lately round here, usually we have a couple, but haven't seen them or heard them for a while.

Herring gulls.
When at the coast the other day, there was to herring gulls having a discussion, it was quite sweet to see them having a discussion it looked liked a friendly one. They got what I would call a deep throaty laugh. I know that they can be pain, but I think they are lovely birds, well the ones i saw.
The blossom is out big time now. Love it this time of year, I am a spring and autumn person then winter and last of all summer.

Better weather.
Spent the day down the coast. Had a really good time. They are getting everything ready for the summer season. It was a lovely sunny but chilly day. Took some photos, now have to download them. Have to find the lead,then I can download them.
The honeysuckle is really doing well, the tulips are nearly out, the grass needs cutting but till the tulips are over and done with, I won't cut the grass as the tulips are all over the lawn.
The weather is really nice now. Blue skies sun out, not to hot or cold, for me bliss.

Should or shouldn't.
Saw a fox walking in the park in daylight and it looked very healthy.
The daffodils are out in bloom big time now. All along the grass verges they are blooming. On my Facebook page someone asked,should you pick them or leave them where they are. I would say leave them where they are for all to enjoy. What do you think?

Quiet time.
The river near where I work had a mattress thrown in over the weekend. But but by thursday it was taken out. Glad it was done so quick.
It has been cold but sunny. Went for a walk and it was nice even though the wind was very cold. A few spots of rain was felt.
The local park is still recovering slowly after all the rain, there are still a few muddy puddles. The waterfowl seem to be very happy.
It has been very quiet nature wise, but behind the scenes I am sure it is very busy.
