ANOTHER WEEK WITH THE BOOT :0(

VERY TIRING  that's all i can say about hobbling around in a moon boot.     i seem to be only able to do a couple of things a day without being bombed out.  lots of sitting with my foot up knitting.   a bit of sweeping,  a bit of raking and yesterday i weeded a garden bed. this morning i'm almost limping from all that sitting and leaning over.   grrrrr!!  i'm a bit sick of it.

now the irises are all in one spot with rhizomes exposed i'm hoping for a good season of flowers  - weeding done!

spring has sprung

lots of birdie flirting going on all around the garden

this special visitor popped out onto the lawn yesterday, it's the second time i've seen him or her in a couple of months. she's quite big,

the shell is about the size of a large serving platter

this week i've photographed all marg's knitted owls for her annual calendar.   i really meant to do a calendar of bird photos but i can't  be bothered. maybe next year

    I found photos on this blog of gail on her visit here in 2013, one          year after i moved here.

Etta is growing and just look at her little face, full of attention and connection, she obviously loves her dad already :0) 

and she's discovered her tongue :0)
