Back to the Garden

Well I sure did enjoy my holiday it was wonderful to visit my family in Newcastle. Catching up with old friends and also how their lives have changed, over the past year. As the years whip by I say to myself I just have to visit more often as you never know what is going to happen one year to another. I heard some sad news and some happy news so there you are , make the most of every new day. You never know what's around that corner...

The garden is looking pretty good , so have been plodding around doing a lot of tidying and pruning. Those roses are still doing very well , yellow red and a little wild rose has appeared I see. Oh and also a new arrival of 7 baby ducklings so very tiny at the moment , looking quite healthy though. The Pond is still pretty low so I hope all this rain we have had will make that all change soon.

Well that's it for now off to the kitchen as I still haven't opened my new food processor. Do you know it is still in it's box , I bought it about a month ago, or was that two months. Catch up with you all soon take care .:)

Changing Colours

My Roses are coming along very nicely all a beautiful shade of yellow, except for one it has a tinted pink around the edges. It got me thinking why only one , these are just outside my window . So as I pass by them every day there is yet another little bloom. Don't you just love the colour it's so pretty and the most uplifting colour I know. It got me thinking of a little Canary I had about 8 years ago now . I called her Tina happy little thing she was and she just loved raw carrot. So every day I cut a piece up and she would immediately get stuck in. As time went by I noticed a change in her feathers , and realized she was indeed turning pretty shade of Orange. I couldn't believe it well I never , I will always remember this with great affection for my little Canary . Funny how things just pop into your mind like that , thought I would share with you. It's been dull and windy here most of the day , but the Sun has finally made an appearance. Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday :)

What will April Bring...

Someone mentioned the other day that I have not put any recent piccies up of my dear Wil-e. Here he is the cheeky chappie, two days ago. The weather has changed around completely

it's quite chilly today for the 1st of April, although looking back in my dairy 2010, it's much the same. I always keep a day to day dairy when I forget something or want to remember something , it's good to just go back and check on something.

I was so achieving so much in the garden until the rain came Tuesday, there's a lot to do a lot of dead wood and leaves still hidden beneath the small bushes. So I will leave that till the weekend and hope it cheers me on again, with a little sunshine. As I find things to do indoors a bit of cooking or just catching up on the cleaning. Not a favourite of mine Cleaning I mean.

Monday taking time out for a spot of lunch with my old friend, will pick her up a noon and will heading off to the restaurant . Thats the lady that fell backwards nearly on top of me as she was going up the steps, to the other restaurant last month. All was ok I caught her , mind you have you ever felt a dead weight. Phew! took some doing I can tell you, but hey they both roared with laughter afterwards. :)

Well I wonder what April will bring I do hope Joy and good things for you all , and of course good health. Take Care of yourselves and I'll catch you later.
