Ransom money

Well I'm home again for now and I walked Sandy. I'm so glad I did. All the civic minded younger folk were out in their shorts (brrrrr) happily picking up the blown winters garbage in the ravines etc and smiling and wishing me good morning, it being Earth Day. Have you noticed how the civic minded have beaming faces as they…

I'm away for the day, but happy St Georges Day to Jackie. It's much cooler but that's okay, I'll bundle up back in the old anorak. The young chap across the road was running around in his shorts yesterday, but he said it was a bit nippy! I'll say! "Ne'er cast a clout 'til May is out" again. Enjoy your party Shirley, what…

Ice palace

The raven, rook and jackdaw are all similar and all of the crow family as far as I know Lin. I think the raven has a sharper beak than the other two, but I'm not sure. Ravens are protected and kept in the Tower of London because it is said that if the Ravens depart, England will fall. Again not sure, Jackie will put me…

Voice over

And I've got Ravens too! Never seen them here before. I watched a huge chap in my bird bath today, he filled it up. I wonder why they are suddenly flourishing, milder winter? I realize Jackie that there are no planting zones in the British isles, I just idly wondered which zone it would fit into. Maybe 5? Or more likely…

It's a little dark because in shadow, but here's my "wild" pet bunny, Miss Buns. Anne.

Me too, PATSY. A summer of fun ahead, Anne. P.S. 1 year later I am still picking up the planters in my place when Cinders visits! Could be 2 summers of fun ahead! P.S. Again! Cinders was only 6 weeks old when she decided to live with Michael and Sandy in their condo. She got the message very quickly on house training, but…

Big hair

Just a quickie from me. Our growing season is named zone 6 over here. Zone 7 being the north and Arctic. I believe Sandy is the same as us Ontario folk. This means we have 130 to 160 days for growing veggies etc. I'm now curious what zone the UK falls under. I don't think we bothered with guidelines there but just chucked…

Here today (gone tomorrow)

Do you ever venture as far as Canada PHOEBE? I'm sure you are right JACKIE, boys must roam the world, however Mark didn't want to go this time, I think he's getting to an age where he prefers home. Can't say I blame him, it's colder in Chile than here today and raining. Me, I've been sitting outside watching the birds…

Fast track

Wasp waist (as in corsets)

Thanks for the warning PHOEBE, April is indeed a capricious month! I'd just been peering at the gerry's and thinking "wow predicted 22C or 72F?" when I saw your post. They are in the back added on room and I want to get my table back for summer breakfasts. It's slightly chilly in the winter months. I'll wait until pretty…

Thick ankles

SHIRLEY I guess you won't see this if my posts are blank. I wonder if I've become a ghost and don't realize it! Well, I've just said goodbye to my youngest who is heading off to Chile on a business trip for a week. Massive Earthquake in Ecuador and I don't care if there's a huge distance between Chile and Ecuador, I've…

Brain less (me too!)

We went awry after rag dolly, so I'll go after "cleaning rag" and say: Cleaning lady

Cleaning rag

Dolly bird (another English term? lol)

PATSY, she's so sweet. You can't go wrong with a lab mix, I know! Welcome little Katie. Great aunt Anne.

Bird (of) paradise (know what you mean Jackie!)

Fruit cake

Beautiful day indeed. I've spent most of the day outside raking leaves, weeding, and cutting back dead stalks and ivy strands. The garden looks lovely and clean, I on the other hand look decidedly grubby. The birds, squirrels etc who had mainly kept their distance are so glad to see the aching back of me and are themselves…
