Watching Ewe

31st of March and it's blowing a Hooligan here.
It certainly isn't going out like a lamb

A Spring Day In The Garden

The garden was desperately needed a good tidy up

Weeded  a little, split a few plants and rehomed them in one or two  vacant plots,

I think I lost a few plants to to frost this year

Swept up the debris of sunflower husks which seemed to be almost ankle deep below the bird feeders

I had taken the camera into the garden with me hoping to capture a few

shots of the birds on the feeders but they all seem far too busy doing what comes naturally at this time of year

So I turned my attentions to the two best girls.Roxy my little whippet doesn’t stay still for long but she posed for a short while just enjoying the sunshineThen Tara my 14year old finally woke from her slumbers, looked at me with her one almost good eye and promptly returned to snoring her little head off on her cushion

Not much to see just at the moment, Flowering Cherry is yet to put on a show,  just a little more sunshine should do it.

Only a few Crocus and Daffs

 and
Primroses I bought from a garden center

It Snowed

I should have done this sooner but overtaken by lethargy
with the cold and miserable days
of January my mind still seems it be hibernating under a foot of frozen snow.

This, I think was one of the most beautiful days of December, bitterly cold , sun shining and after another heavy snowfall eveything just sparkled in the frosty air

Topped up the bird feeders and was on my way

Set off down Leithen Crescent and down towards the "Batty" where Leithen water runs into the Tweed

Here is one I prepared earlier
