Cold noses and warm toes , well keeping warm is everyone's priority. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AS I glance outside my window I see 4 new Daffodils sprouting up. They don't seem to mind the cold frosty mornings . Blackbirds shuffling about poking at the fallen leaves, so see what lies beneath. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trees bare all except the Fir trees and Conifers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The days are indeed getting longer which at last brings some relief. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next will be the Snowdrops .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next weekend Is the BIG BIRDWATCH here in the UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My garden is the perfect place for this event between 28-30 January .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shall be sitting with a cup of coffee and take notes of what I see for one hour. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I've many windows here each room as a perfect view of the Garden .</div>

I haven't journeyed to London this year, being my own choice.<br />
Stayed 4 night's at a Forest Holiday an hour's drive away , with family and Dogs.<br />
Very relaxing again into Devon.<br />
<br />
I do hope you are well and enjoying the summer. Forgive me for not posting sooner but life Just Fly's By.<br />

That's when my garden comes into it's own. These are the first Blooms, top Cherry Blossom, Then the beautiful Barberry and last but not least my Freesia . Such fibriant colours you feel like shouting welcome Summer at last. Tempertures have at last picked up to a warm 16c.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My nesting boxes have a little couple of Blue Tits...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flitting in and out . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lawn is covered in Dandylions and Daisy's , the Bees love these. That is the main thing of course , so no grass cutting at the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can hear the Farmers in the next field busy with their Tractors. They work during the night sometimes when rain is expected. So the roads are a bit slow going for the drivers. With these large machines going to and throw. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Country isn't everyone's taste and I often over hear people form the larger Cities grumbling .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What with narrow roads , which I usually stay away from if I can help it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am off to the kitchen now before going outside , as the sun is trying to make an appearance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm making my homemade Soup topped with Fish which I put on at the last minute . As Fish cooks very quickly , and adds thta extra flavour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bye for Now and wishing you well. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shopping, that's as interesting as it get's. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well mum where have you been.</span><br />
Food shopping to be exact just an ordinary Monday , at my local Supermarket. After trailing round for an hour , mission accomplished. Packed it away in the boot of my car .<br />
Thought I would pop back in store for a take away Costa Coffee , really needed Cuppa.<br />
<br />
There she was beautiful Bubbles as I found out later what her name was. Yes it was a Greyhound , my weakness as some of you may know. A weary looking guy in a wheel chair wanted quite frankly a dog sitter , while he was doing his food shop. I do it for you I promptly volunteered , I couldn't resist those big brown eye's looking up at me. <br />
I stood I sat and patted her , took for a short toilet run. Drank my lovely coffee feeling a little better after that much needed drink. Waiting and I can tell you the people you meet in that one hour is quite amazing. Yes an Hour you heard right...but I didn't mind really. Two friends of mine I hadn't seen for almost three years , a good looking guy took a shine to her and we chatted for 20 mins at least.<br />
<br />
Finally he showed up and offered me a coffee , but I politely refused thanking him. As I had more errands to run. Bye Bubbles it was fun and a pleasure . You may say that was my good deed for the day, But in fact it made my day, but hey that's just me I suppose.<br />
<br />
Here are some Pictures from my Garden through August to Oct this year .<br />
It has been a great time for the Roses , Red Hot Pokers and the Orchard also, giving a few varieties of Apples. The Ducks on my Lake are always a pleasure to observe through the Summer months.<br />
That is a Christmas Cacti which is doing just fine. It brings a bit of color in October , it is now fully bloomed. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have a Good week and enjoy each day as it comes.</span><br />

This is a Wonderful time of year everything springs to life. They lay dormant over the Winter, and then colour blooms start to appear. The top yellow looks like a Buttercup, although I'm not sure. <div>

I love the Frost far better than all that rain we've had here of late. ..Blue skies and very cold. <div>
Above is the new Patio , you can see part of it. The strange little tree in the top center , is a Christmas tree which is 5 years old and has never been brought back indoors. Doing well by all accounts. I decided to place lights on it , as it has pride of place. </div>
<div>
There will be a lot of work to do out there come March or so.</div>
<div>
Am I looking forward to it, well not really with my sore hip. Will just have to look and maybe think about it ha! </div>

Meeting up with my dear Lady friend she is 95 years old this year. She is lucky really as she still gets out and about. But she does need an arm to hang on to. Having two daughter's is a blessing , so I am sure she glad of that. </div>

These are my indoor flowers at present<br />
The White Gardener is the hardest flower to keep going, the right temperature , light and water. It was given to me for my Birthday two years ago, and have struggles to keep it happy. The fragrance is so sweet and I breath on it lightly to help it along it's way. The 3rd picture down.<br />
<br />
The top Cacti blooms for 48 hours only and is so beautiful when it does.<br />
<br />
I have had the Pink Cacti a number of years and is just starting to Bloom. So each day it is lovely to see a fresh flower there.<br />
<br />
Lucy what a lovely Honk you have , looking sooo relaxed Ha.<br />
<br />
It's a rather Dull day here slight drizzle in the air , and getting darker by the minute.<br />
My red begonia is still doing well in the hanging basket. Also my winter pansies hanging baskets are doing well. It's good to see some flowers this time of year.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your week need to catch up now and have a lovely day.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It was lovely when I had Lucy stay in the posh dog kennels this year. This gorgeous Great Dane was next door in the large running pen. What a fine fellow he is a youngster at about 4 years old. This picture tells it all. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I visit my sister this is where Lucy stays , it's a really lovely place. Wouldn't put her anywhere else. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has indeed been a beautiful Summer this year so lots of garden adventures for the her . Lucy is very good as long as she has a ball in her mouth she's as good as gold. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Quite a few rabbits here , they tend to come out early evening well 3 to be exact. The garden is big enough so they don't nosh on my flower bed. By then Lucy is inside the house ha! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Cob nut tree is doing even better this year , picked quite a few bowls . Apples doing well with three or four different varieties.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So have baked apple crumble and Pie , lovely. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fresh cream or custard anyone? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a good week and enjoy everyday. Just catching up on your posts. Bye for now.</span><br />

But to pop over for a coffee and a chat very soon. This is the Lady that is 94 years old . I met her 12 years ago working in a charity shop. We hit it off very quickly..and soon found out we had a lot in common. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So we had coffee and homemade drizzle cake , we laughed and had a hearty chat. She said as much as I love my family , she has two daughter's. It's so good to chat to to someone other than family, at times. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">August has been a wash out dull and wet day's , so just before the gloomy forecast I took a picture of my Red Hot Pokers. As you can see they are doing really great this year. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Back in June I found a box of flower seeds , mostly out of date. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked out the Marigolds , and scattered them over my front patch just under the Window., Just literally threw them there and walked off. Well here are the results ..</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I had a dance around the Kitchen this Morning . No I haven't gone Loopy or anything. A fly or so I thought flew past me , and I felt a tickle near my neck. So I brushed him away ......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but it wasn't the fly that made me dance..It was a huge house Spider must have been sitting on my shoulder. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well you can imagine Aghhhhhhhhhh! </span></div>

Weather wise it's been a bit on and off as far as Sunshine is concerned. But I'm not complaining far from it, it's just so good taking in that early morning fresh warmish air. The stillness and the sound of the morning choir's , The birds flitting around my feeders . I don't know who said it but there is a saying.. Just take time to smell the flowers.<br />

It's been awhile since my last posting , sometimes I just don't know where the time goes. Busy with every day things , it's nice just to sit outside in that garden and smell the Roses.<br />
But I have been catching up and reading my Blogger friends. That alone gives me great pleasure and just have to say thank you.<br />
Enjoy the rest of your week.Catches the Eyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09514696230926602723noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162894313437108030.post-134538123764356682014-04-22T06:59:00.002-07:002014-07-14T09:09:18.943-07:00The Trees Are Blooming <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Love this time of year when everything springs back into Life.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Sad to hear some of my Friends have had Snow across the Pond, how strange is that. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had a wonderful week, a visit from my sister . A few days eating out , shopping , and the Cherry Blossom Trees are a sight to see, in the local Park. The park was full of children playing, being school out for the Easter break. Smashing day out all round. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sunshine brings out the best in us all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you all had a lovely Easter break with your family or friends, time to snap some more pictures out there.Take care catch you later, think I have a bit of catching up to do. Bye..</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well I think just about everyone looks forward to Spring. Especially the first signs of the Daffodils and Snowdrops. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago one of the Fir Trees had to be cut down. It was down to it obstructing the power lines . Gosh I miss that tree , although she did have a slight tilt. Piles of Logs for an open fire, if you may wish. My neighbors where delighted when I said you may help yourselves. In return they gave me a few bottles of Wine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How's the Wild life here in the garden, not an awful going on. I think we tend to forget from year to year. Maybe it is a quiet time for them feeding and seeking out a mate. They know when the time is ready. At least the 2 Acres here are there for the taking , and the wildlife can help themselves. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At least there is a bit of color coming in to the garden now. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's quite dreary out there at the moment..But the South East of England are having 20c quite a sunny day and warm. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe it will make it way over here to the South West. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy your Weekend </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">across the road as fast as they could carry him. I was on my way to do a bit of shopping , and noticed there was no traffic behind me. I gently braked letting him reach the other side of the road. It was indeed a murky day and drizzled most of the morning. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday is Market Day in town though only small you can pick up a bargain or two. I bought an Indian cook book and a pretty pack of notelets..I still put pen to paper now and then, especially to my friend in London. We have been writing since I moved away 15 years ago. But we never fail to keep in touch , in the good old fashion way. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before my cup of coffee in my favourite bar , I had a quick check up appointment at the dentist. All clear glad to say and no hefty bill.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Parched I was ready for that coffee , and sitting in the window view area I manged to get my favourite seat. I just love watching the World go by , and people watching. I find it very relaxing and sometimes it can be very interesting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Take the day ..a dear old lady was at the crossing and about to cross. But as she did so she dropped her plastic shopping bag. Not realising she carried on. The traffic lights were still blinking , but the front driver stopped and got out of his car. He retrieved the shopping bag (he held up his hand to the waiting traffic) and gave it to her. In he got and the traffic patiently waited, well I thought isn't that just dandy! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's still raining here right now with hail stone flurries. Dark one minute and then it lightens up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is nice to catch up and have been away far too long.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wishing you well and enjoy the remaining weekend. </span>Catches the Eyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09514696230926602723noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162894313437108030.post-23714265992117828762013-11-15T06:59:00.001-08:002013-11-15T06:59:39.274-08:00I Dropped My <i><span style="font-size: large;">Camera and am I lost without it, don't know about you but getting used to a new one isn't very exciting.

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Well the storm has passed , and glad to say not too bad around this area , only blew off my old summer house roof. It landed in the front garden which was a relief..it's pretty old so it needs to come down in the New Year. </span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've had a few Lunches with my lady friend she's 93 . Her husband has been in and out of Hospital and now is back in the care home. She said he just isn't happy there , would rather be home I guess. That was tried but he had a fall during the early hours , and was taken into to hospital. I think he was there for quite a while , until a care home was found for him. But alas he's just not very happy at all , which in turn makes her unhappy to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Blackberry picking last week and a few apples from the Orchid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy to say I made a apple and blackberry crumble. Served with Cream or custard which do you prefer ..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago a few friends dropped by for a cuppa and we had a chat up by the Pond .So very relaxing just watching the fish and ducks swimming around, sitting on the bench.I must admit as much as I love the seasons , wish they could last a bit longer summer seems to fly by. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well enjoy your coming week , the suns shining as present so I'm off outside. :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a wet start to the week , so the garden got a long awaited downpour. The Roses have faded now </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">always sad to see them go. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wildflowers are still going in the front garden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next is the Butterfly Bush , with it's lovely shade of lilac or purple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I had a lovely lunch with my dear friend. It was sunshine and showers , and quite warm. We had a good chat , laugh and both enjoyed a Jacket Potato with cheese and beans, and a side salad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remembering me telling you , she is 92 years old and looks </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bye for now and hope you enjoy your week. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome Sunshine such bliss so after doing a little light Gardening grabbed the garden chair and took a rest. Oh he certainly <b>Caught my Eye </b>peeking over the top of the hedge . Quite high for a sitting duck as they say. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Swallows are few I might add , but two pair are nesting in the old Barn . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By the Pond there is a nasty pink prickly Bush leaning over , as if to peering into the pond. But after close inspection it's buzzing with Bumble Bees, what a delight. So it has indeed got it's uses. :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That made my Day .. it's been a quiet peaceful day here . With quite a bit of activity with the Wildlife. Early this Morning I got a Glimpse of the Woodpecker , taking nuts from the feeder. He disappeared up the tree , I'm wondering if they are maybe nesting in there. </span></div>

These wild flowers by my smaller pond have brought a welcome visitor. The Bee I was so pleased , as they are having such a tuff time of it at the moment. When they emerge from their hide away they need to feed within in a few hours ..It has been a slow flowering year so far and most of my Daffodills are at least a month late. So a little sunshine was a warm welcome to not only to me but our poor little Bumblebees.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy Week Ahead. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There's nothing better than meeting up for a hearty lunch. Remember my Lady friend of 92 years old she is a Gem. Quite amazing for her age . Her husband finally ended up in a care home. He's been there now for 4 months , alas this doesn't bring joy to my friend. Spending nights alone and missing those early morning cups of tea , and a hearty chat. Often I pick her up and off we go to the restaurant for lunch . Enjoying fresh farm veg and potatoes and a lovely roast Lamb. It's funny I take apple juice and Betty takes a small wine , The waitress always makes the mistake , and puts the wine in front of me...:) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking quite happy by this time and laughing at my stories. It comes apparent these are the things she misses most of all. The times when they used to go dancing , always brings a smile to her face. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Waving goodbye she thanks me and tells me she's looking forward to our next Lunch Date. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We share a hug :) </span></div>
