September

brings  chillier evenings and cool morning' s. But days here are still very pleasant ,  
Looking over to Dartmoor on a misty morning , from my kitchen window. Is  Quite Lovely.

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. 
When I visit my sister this is where Lucy stays , it's a  really lovely place. Wouldn't put her anywhere else. 

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. 

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! 

The Cob nut tree is doing even better this year , picked quite a few bowls . Apples doing well with  three or four different varieties.
So have baked apple crumble and Pie , lovely. 
Fresh cream or custard anyone? 

Have a good week and enjoy everyday. Just catching up on your posts. Bye for now.

Meeting up for Coffee....

As my friend wasn't feeling too good of late she rang to tell me she couldn't make it for our Lunch out. 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. 
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. 

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. 

Back in June I found a box of flower seeds , mostly out of date. 
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 ..

Never give up :) 

Off to catch up on your posts now , have a great week. 

It's Wonderful

When you come across something in the garden , you haven't seen before. Here it is one the Wild Rose Bush  any ideas. 

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 ......

but it wasn't the fly that made me dance..It was a huge house Spider must have been sitting on my shoulder. 

Well you can imagine Aghhhhhhhhhh!  

I swept him to the floor and he scurried off . It left me quite jumpy this Morning .

We have had heavy rain here over the Weekend . But the worst of it hit the East side of the Country. Bringing down a huge Tree in one town, no one was hurt. 

Thinking of Beth right now and hoping and Praying all goes well for her, sending her positive thoughts. 

Bye for Now ..

June has passed

and what a fine a sunny one one it has been. 

 Strawberry Fields this is the Restaurant my friend I go once every 4 weeks. 

 My new garden chair , with Lucy enjoying a day in the garden with her Ball.

 That dear little Tree stump , after The Fir Tree was cut down.

Ice-Berg Roses so very hardy , hence the name. 

It's been awhile since my last post. I had a visit from my sister , in fact I took her to that Restaurant she loved it. Fresh produce which is grown on the farm, it has a  very good reputation. Roast Lamb and roast potatoes and fresh veg. 

I do hope July continues to Shine just like June, but at the moment it's overcast. But we just have to accept that, and  enjoy each day as it comes.

Must catch up now reading your posts. 

Bye for now..

Some of my flowers especially the Roses.....

are doing just fine and I think also some wild roses have done well to. 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.
Here are just a few .

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.
But I have been catching up and reading my Blogger friends. That alone gives me great pleasure and just have to say thank you.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

The Trees Are Blooming

Love this time of year when everything springs back into Life.

Sad to hear some of my Friends have had Snow across the Pond, how strange is that. 

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. 
Sunshine brings out the best in us all. 

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..

Spring Time '

Well I think just about everyone looks forward to Spring. Especially the first signs of the Daffodils and Snowdrops. 
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. 

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. 

At least there is a bit of color coming in to the garden now. 

It's quite dreary out there at the moment..But the South East of England are having 20c  quite a sunny day and warm. 
Maybe it will make it way over here to the South West. 
Enjoy your Weekend
