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 yearWinking smile

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 sunshineIMG_5502-HDRThen 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 IMG_5497-HDR
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.
