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 :)

Who's That Lady .....

I came across this little photo of me and my Mum taken in the early 1960's . I think my Uncle who was taking the picture used a Brownie Box Camera the photo was only 2ins/2ins so quite small. Mum was holding onto Roy my Uncle's dog and where-ever he went Roy always came to. Don't you just love those coats , especially mum's with tapered waist line. I don't remember much about that day but it must have been a Garden Fete , somewhere in the North East /Eng. Happy Mother's Day to all my American Friends. Have a Great Week..

Few More Blooms

These have got to be my favourite little flowers just by the Pond at the top of my garden. So pretty and delicate first of all green and then they turn a creamy white. Sunshine warm and dry days this last week and accomplished lots in the garden . The ducks are still here but there is one in particular that has been here a few years now a little female. Notice the picture of her on the right side of my page. I had just been sitting in the deck chair when she came close by and sat under the chair I was sitting in.
I mentioned the Fir trees just outside the back of house , well after watering my flowers I just happen to be walking under one. There she was a tiny little bird flitting around the bottom branches , taking no notice of me at all. So cute just like a little humming bird, I couldn't move as I was afraid I would frighten her away. I tell you what I was in my glory she was so very close.

I hope your week has been good to you , and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding on Friday. The dress was simply beautiful and they looked so much in Love.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and stay happy :)

Happy Easter

Ducks one legging so cute.

Just to wish everyone a Happy Easter. I took a walk in the park yesterday and couldn't resist this lovely little blossom tree. The leaves were so delicate just like tissue paper. I stood underneath it to get a better and closer look. It was a beautiful day , people sitting on the grass laughing and just enjoying the lovely sunshine. Children playing, eating ice cream and their happy smiling faces was a pleasure to see. As walked on I came across a much bigger tree pink blossom's I tell you seeing this just gives me goose bumps , they are so beautiful. These definitely caught my eye.

Enjoy and have a lovely Easter.

Take a Leaf out of their book....

What a wonderful day I had on Monday as I said previously. I picked up my friend at 12 noon for our planned lunch. This lady is marvellous , she is 91 years old. Looking very snazzy in her green jumper and matching necklace She greeted me with a wonderful smile. Off we went along the country lanes arriving at our destination at about 12 30pm. The menu as always was superb, roast goose fresh veg and roast potatoes delish...We cleared our plate's , we talked and laughed and I suggested popping in to see another friend of ours on the way home. Now this lady is in her late 70's she has had two hip operation over the years. But last November she fell in her kitchen and broke her leg, she was then air lifted to hospital. OH the pain I just can't imagine.! After about roughly 3 months she was going about her business as usual when she slipped and fell again ouch! this time she broke her other leg and hurt her hip very badly. Once again hospital , that was 5 weeks ago, she was now home. So that's why I suggested giving her a surprise visit, there was a lady helper there to open the door. You should have seen her face she was over the moon to see us, not being able to get out she was feeling quite bored sitting and resting all day. All in all we had a good hearty chat and laugh over a cup of tea. As we left she thanked us so much for popping in and off we went. I waved good bye to my friend as I dropped her off home , but before I left she looked up at me and said "oh thank you Sheila that was a wonderful day, I am so glad we popped in to see Janice". :) The look on their faces will stay with me for a long time.:) Just thought I would share this with you today ..take care and have wonderful week. :)

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.

Sunny Sunday..

So Lucky this week had four glorious days so far. Gives you that good all round feeling to want to get up and go. I did yesterday the garden yes I know that wasn't very far . I pottered round cleared my old plant pots and filled them up with compost. Cleared out two hanging baskets ready for my new flowers, I will start off the seeds which I will do today. Had to wait till the weather improved so I could work on them outside, and wash all the old trays from last year.

The Geese are still undecided it seems , have been here a couple of times this week. But no sign of them today. In fact there are only 3 sets of ducks ,couples that is and a nesting Moorhen. The Baby Moorhens are probably due in April sometime. They usually have three lots of baby's, and they make wonderful doting parents. So looks to be a fairly busy time on the Pond this year. Looking over to the right hand side of the back window I noticed some more yellow flowers , just can't think what they are called, maybe Arlene will recognise them. Very pretty it didn't do much at all last year, so there it just goes to show you, and with all that hard frost we had over winter.
Well must get outside I did say I was going to get my seedtrays organised, I better get going. Hope you all have a lovely Sunday, it's 53F here at the moment, with a little cool breeze.

Catch you Later..:)
