After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Good Morning everyone.
Awww Deb, not good. Orange in the morning a shepherd's warning!
Sounds like you had some activity in the area last night. With polair involved, it sounds like they were determined to catch whoever it was.
Bought a dozen colour pots of pansies yesterday and scattered them in the bark area. Daffodils are popping up everywhere and freesias just about ready to bloom. OH's 70th next weekend and we are having friends staying plus lots of visitors so trying to "pretty" it up a bit. It looked a bit bare with all the roses pruned and my OH really prunes them!
Can't wait to see bushie's garden in Spring.
I really worry about freddie - hope all is OK in her world.
Hi there, Sandy and everyone else.
I've been reading about all the preparations for the BIG party down your way. And the garden area sounds as if it's in party mode too.
Thinking back to the past........again.....I recall my Pa painting his pruned rose bushes with a Lime Paste (white in colour). I used to think it was so that he could "see" them whilst planting his pansy and primula seedlings so as not to get spiked. I now know it was more for the health of the plant. But the effect was "architectural" - sort of angles against the soft curves of leaves and flowers.
Take it easy (as if
) with the organization of the event. Sit back and delegate.
The sun is warming now and promises to be a splendid day for the time of year.
Load of washing to hang out now and then into some more sawdust/oiling/waxing of an old oak dresser - have to instal some missing drawer runners too.

Happy birthday for your OH next weekend Sandypas, hope you all have a lovely day and lots of goodies xx
Bushie, bub is due late August, but my poor DYD is HUGE already! I can't see her lasting quite that long, and OH jas already put in orders for a 13th of August delivery, so he get's the best 60th birthday present
The daffodils I planted ages ago along woth the freesias were finally starting to make an entrance - then OH thought he would be helpful today and decided to scratch about in the front garden...
*sigh*
Not sure how many he managed to decapitate in the process 
Lloyds, all I can do is ...
*sigh*
I had counted about 8 sprouting up in the bed in front of the window .. I found 4 survivors 
We've had lovely winter days - sun shine but a cold wind, but they say tomorrow is going to be lots colder - YUK!
Ah well, good weather for sewing - I hope to get the banner for the bub's room done if my hands hold up!
Little things in the garden .......
With the sun finally settled, with the birdlife nestled away, out came the nocturnal insects. Hordes of them. And what are they, that came from an easterly direction. Tiny little bats! Like an airport with incoming and takeoffs and aborted landings all happening at once. Traffic controller certainly did a good job.
Final patrol saw an owl swooping and circling and landing on the Hills Hoist. Nature at its best

Deb - Your writing is like poetry, so descriptive.
Good morning everyone. The bulbs are emerging, the freesias are coming out and they smell beautiful. Can't wait until spring. Can't wait to see bushies garden - especially around the old ?plough.
I am busy organising my OH's 70th on Saturday but most of it is under control. Start cooking a few things tomorrow but the main meal is catered for - a spit roast company.
Have a good day everyone ...
