Spring in April's step

Bloggie pals!!

Oh wondrous of joy - April is Springing!

The Daffs are blooming, the Cranesbills are leafing!

But bestest of all is a sight worth seeing 

 That of Charlie and Gumtree stealing a kiss-ing! 

Ahem!

We are now currently at the solicitor's stage of the house buying process and anticipate the sale to go through by July or sooner! YIKES!!! *Bites nails*!

Wishing you all a fabulous Easter time and to all those A-Zing - enjoy!

Stripes, spots, pots and surveys!

Bloggie pals! Finally, I got my potted plants to bloom again! If you remember, this was one task I set myself to do a couple of months back! 

Et voila!

Gumtree says: I show off my stripes!

Charlie says: I show off my spot!

And lastly, today (6th May)  is the first ever National Cat Watch Day! 

This survey asks cat owners to observe their chosen cat and complete a questionnaire.  The aim is to understand how cats "use their home and garden and to spot where improvements can be made to their world." Details, here.

Have a great week, y'all!

"I spy...

... with my little eye something beginning with C!" says Gumtree!

Bloggie pals!

After some April showers, the sun came out, the cats frolicked and I started my long delayed plant potting up project!

Hope Spring has truly sprung where ever you are!

Have a great week y'all! 

Potty project

Bloggie friends!!

I'm back!! And I can't wait to catch up with all your blogposts! 

Charlie says: Get thee away from me, Gummie boy!

Gumtree says: Okee-dokey!

Do you see all my pot plants? The crazy weather this past couple of months have near enough killed them all so my next big project of 2013 is to re-do them come Easter! And if I slacken I just know y'all give me a nudge, a wink and a virtual kick up the derriere to get a move on! :-)

Hoorah!

Have a great week!

Daft pot of daffs

Bloggie friends!

I share with you, the latest pic of my crazy over-crowded pot of daffodils - along with a viola or two – each one of them singing:

“Spring is just round the corner, hang on in there!!!!”

Charlie says: If I stretch longer, next door will see me for sure!

Happy last Day of February!

Potty!

Bloggie friends!!

You are all beautiful and brilliant!! Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words yesterday!! I am so beyond happy about everything! Yay!

Now I shall leave you with what I plan to be my big Easter /Royal Wedding Holiday Job come April.

Re-potting up of my pots!

I mean look at the state of them!!! What’s happened to the plants?!?!

Charlie says: Tut-tut!


Isn't it the weekend already? :-)

Turning a - into a +

Beautiful bloggie friends – how does one cover up an ugly and hazardous pothole?

By planting a miniature garden in them!!

Like how this guy, Steve Wheen, does.

Or this guy Pete Dungey and his own version of pothole gardening:


Wouldn’t it be lovely if we were able to fill our own personal potholes with something as sublime, beautiful and positive?

Of course these little wonders of beauty don’t last very long – traffic and pollution kill them eventually – but for a few hours, even days, they brighten something as dull and dead as tarmac and perhaps inspire one or two to do the same.

Charlie says: I like these pots better!

Have an flower-filled Thursday everyone!
