Honeysuckle Bowls

The honeysuckle is now out and the blue tits are visiting it very frequently, as it's been raining, a steady downpour  the flower on the honeysuckle are like miniature water bowls. It is so lush and green out there with all this rain, so that means lots of work in the garden when the rain stops.

Mixture

A mixture of the weather warm sunny cold windy rainy. The garden needs a overdue transformation!  Must start soon but been getting indoors done though had a lot to do.
The Easter cactus are doing well best I had for ages. The one nobody wanted is really coming on well, when I got it , it was old shrivelled  nearly dying and after a very long time it's really looking good, normally I look at plants and they wither on the spot.

Welcome Back

My annual visitors are slowly surely are coming back to stay for the summer, welcome slugs and snails. Had to rescue a snail from the paper box out for recycling so from now on yes pled for slugs and snails in the recycling boxes.
No sign of the ants yet and the nettle patch I left for the butterflies and bees is growing strongly.
Daft as it's sounds I am glad that they are back the slugs and snails.

Spring Flowers

Pink and white blossom,green leaves unfurling against the blue sky which has a few white clouds floating gently and one of my favourite things a gentle breeze love breezes = spring is here!
The daffodils are fading ready to go to sleep till next year , the tulips are now taking over my lovely bright red tulips, with their petals opened wide so they can capture the warmth of the sun .

A mixture of a day.

Primroses scattered in the woodlands mean that the bluebells are not far behind. Brown sheep in the field.
Sparrow on sentry duty while the others are among the train tracks looking for whatever.
Thunderstorms are due.

Bumble Bee Rescue

A bumble bee came in the back door as it's open on this lovely spring morning and one of the cats tried to help me rescue it, but I opened the patio door and it buzzed out . It was so beautiful to look at all furry and cuddly.

Bumble Bee & Web

A bumble bee came to visit  and it was buzzing quite happily and had a chat . A beautiful spider web on the bin was glistening with raindrops in the sun ,stunning .
Daffodils and tulips browning in the front lawn, the tulips are not out yet as the front garden is quite sheltered but going to have a good show, but the daffodils haven't done to well yet but they are cheerful miniature suns that's what they are
