    Good Morning,

    Oh my goodness what a horrible morning! It's chucking it down here :thud:.This is my worst type of morning, let's all keep our fingers crossed for some better weather this afternoon :hapydancsmil: it wasn't light here until 8.30, just grey, cloudy & horrid! :thud:

    The garden is mainly puddles :gaah:, but how can I moan when it's so dreadful further up the country :nonofinger:.

    Not much going on my end, plenty to do at work although my mind is busy thinking about seeds, compost & growing vegetables! :heehee:

    I hope you are all well?

    Enjoy your day everyone :hapydancsmil:

      Good day everyone,
      It is going to be a sunny day here but it is unfortunate that I will be attending court with my son most of the day. The battle of the exes continues. I'm really only there to keep track of the paperwork and for moral support but why did it have to be on the last sunny day we're going to have for nearly a month:doh:and then we're forecast to have one more sunny day and another near month of gloom..:sad: Maybe I should go down and lie under the lights with the seedlings :heehee:

      Have a safe day all:)

        Good Morning everyone,

        Pitch black out there this morning cannot tell what it is doing other than it is cold. Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. Must get Amber out for her walk as soon as it lightens up a bit.
        God bless. :wub2:

          Aloha everyone,

          @moyra wrap up warm as it's a bit on the chilly side :blue thumb:

          When Dawn strides out to wake a dewy farm
          Across green fields and yellow hills of hay
          The little twittering birds laugh in his way
          And poise triumphant on his shining arm.

          It's going to be a lovely day. :)

          Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

          Aloha!

                Good Morning,

                I woke up to a frost this morning, I had to leave extra early thank goodness for de-icer! I'm back home now to clean out the hens & finish some paperwork then back to work :phew:, it's one of those days where there seems a lot to do, I shall be really pleased once it's all done.

                The hens are very active this morning, Veronica is looking at me through the dining room window! Every so often she knocks on the glass with her beak! :heehee:

                I hope you are all fit & well. Have a lovely day folks. :hapydancsmil:

                  Morning early people :)

                  No frost down here but a bit colder, 9c.

                  On a mission to find some Lime wood today :paladin: Got me eye on a nice Tilia cordata in the park :biggrin:

                  Have a good day everyone and don't fell anything that doesn't belong to you :)

                    Good Morning everyone:)

                    Hope you are all well:spinning:

                    Blue skies here this morning, just long enough to take Tess for her walk and the sun has now gone and the rain has appeared :sad:

                    Off to London for the weekend, tonight going to the theatre to watch Billy Connolly and tomorrow a visit to the Boat Show with Mr AB.

                    Have a lovely weekend everyone and take care :)

                        Yes, most people know his most famous poem but not any others. :noidea:

                        Trees


                        I THINK that I shall never see
                        A poem lovely as a tree.

                        A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
                        Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

                        A tree that looks at God all day,
                        And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

                        A tree that may in summer wear
                        A nest of robins in her hair;

                        Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
                        Who intimately lives with rain.

                        Poems are made by fools like me,
                        But only God can make a tree.



                        An early sad loss of a good poet.

                            Good day everyone,
                            I'm late posting today as I had a lot of chores to catch up on and did not allow myself to get online until I was at least 50% through what needs doing this morning!

                            Going out shortly to get a new snow suit for one of my granddaughters and hop in to visit my friend, that is after this last load of laundry is hung on the lines.

                            Have a super rest of the day all.:)

                                Aloha everyone,

                                I got quite a bit of gardening done yesterday - to the detriment of the paperwork :doh:

                                There's a lot of things to do today :phew:

                                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                                Aloha!
