Too Many Pictures

  We had a nice walk at Willband this morning. Some clouds but very mild. Saw the Heron and lots of    Swallows. 

I have some pictures that I took around the house and  I've been meaning to post before I delete from my computer so here goes.....

 

 

About how the tea cups out in my garden are affixed....  My DH glues a wooden circle under the saucer, inserts a half-inch dowel which fits into a length of pipe.   I tried gluing the cups to the saucers but I prefer being able to take the cups off because they need wiping out from time to time. I'm not explaining it well but maybe a close-up picture will help.

 On Pinterest I found many pictures of tea cups in gardens.  I may have gotten carried away with pretty images.

Rain, Teacups, and a Puzzle

 I awoke early like I usually do and heard the heavy rain on the skylight. The windchimes were being blown madly by the wind and I knew that we wouldn't be walking today.  As it turned out the wind died down a bit and the rain turned into an intermittent shower so we went after all just later than we usually go.

Yesterday was cloudy but hardly any rain fell.  GS  M  did some powerwashing ( his first time).
After he was done the path I put out some of my teacups.  I may not put all of them out this year, we'll see how it goes.
 

 

 

We finished the puzzle we were working on and put the board away for a few months. Once there's more to do outside we don't do puzzles. We had done this one before but we don't mind re-doing one that we liked ( with slightly bigger pieces which make it easier to pick them up.)

Do You Remember?

 I don't have much to blog about today so I'll fall back on "Do you Remember?"
Feel free to skip it if you are not interested.

 

 

I was going for an even dozen but I think 11 will do. I remember all of them, but I'd be surprised if anyone else does.

Have a lovely weekend.  Thanks for coming by and actually reading my post today.

I COULDN"T RESIST A COUPLE MORE.

 

A New Week

 The weather over the Easter weekend couldn't have been better.  We had lots of walks ( not the long walks we used to be able to do but not too bad for a couple of Octogenarians. Hopefully that is a word.)
Sheila shared her pictures of Willband where she also went walking. She takes better pics than I do.

 

 

 And here she is welcoming us to the Easter lunch she prepared.

 Things are getting back to normal here. I postponed laundry until today.  Sheets are waiting to be put back on the bed.  This afternoon I'm hoping to get some puttering done outside. I hope your week is off to a great start.

Happy Easter

 An added joy for us this weekend is the weather which has turned very pleasant.  Sunny and 17C which is about 62F, the warmest we've had so far this Spring. 

Have a wonderful Easter.

 

 

Hello April

 

 

 

 

 Happy First day of April.  There's a light rain falling and tomorrow's forecast is for drizzle. Hopefully all the April showers will bring lots of May flowers. Due to the clouds I didn't see the full moon last night nor will I tonight but I did get an early glimpse on Monday night.

 

picture and text from the internet

The first night of April will be lit up by the full Pink Moon, though the moon itself will not appear pink as it rises.

The Pink Moon is tied to seasonal changes rather than its appearance. “This Moon heralded the appearance of the ‘moss pink’ (Phlox subulata), also called wild ground phlox or creeping phlox—one of the first spring wildflowers,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac explains.

 I don't have any creeping phlox blooming as yet but my Rock cress is doing its best to brighten the back garden.  Creeping phlox is very easy to grow and, as the 'net tells me, suitable even for a novice gardener.   I'd say Rock Cress is equally easy to grow.

Another easy to grow early bloomer is Doronicum  or Leopard's Bane. Mine is just about in full bloom now.

Miss Kitty is glad the ice is gone from the bird bath because she likes to drink from it. Maybe it tastes like birds.

Laundry and Flowers

 

 Good Monday Morning!  The sun is trying to shine through thin clouds. It was 0C when we set out on our walk this morning.  Although the nights will be cold we are forecast to have some quite pleasant days this last bit of March. I do hope the rain holds off until after Easter.

 It's Monday so I am doing the laundry. I'm sure glad I don't have to use such an old fashioned washing machine but I will say this for those oldies...They did a great job and also used less water since one re-used instead of using fresh water for each load.

 

 Easter flowers for the table.

Thanks for visiting.

Have a wonderful week.
