Spring clean

Had a bit of a srping clean and emptied the greenhouse!


Hosed down all the pots and the greenhouse and chucked away the dead plants. First crop of potatoes has been planted and the pond has been cleaned out. Phew! Good chance to study froggy; stopped to do a little sketch of him:


Lastly, I thought I would post this lovely photo of little Alice in the garden last spring in her memory. She was such a sweet little thing and we shall miss her terribly:

Colour at last!!!

These iris bulbs came out today...

  

And these snow drops a few days ago....


The rose bushes have new buds and there are lots of tulips sticking their heads out of the soil to see what's going on.

Hurrah!

A comfy place to sleep

Little foxy seems to be able to sleep anywhere! He was curled up fast asleep in the middle of next door neighbours garden for several hours this morning....

Headache

Somewhere there is a bird with a headache. I know because he left his print on my window...

I must find some window stickers, it is a common occurance!

Just spent an hour tidying up the garden. It's weird to be picking up autumn leaves in January when the srping bulbs are coming out! Everything is rotten and horrible and it doesn't look like I have been doing anything:


Roll on spring...
Just been looking through the garden photos and found some good ones from the snow that I think I should post:

Up to my knees feeding the birds
