Happy Mothers Day Sunday @TDD

[trissie]

L.Ann, the other day I read that once you hit a certain age life is just a delicate balance of trying to stay awake and trying to fall asleep, while slowly getting worse at both, and I thought that was just on spot!
helia, I've stopped refilling the bird feeders - there's enough growing and insects for the birds to find their own lunches!

All that I managed before lunch was to clean one piece of garden furniture for oiling, but you gotta start somewhere!

trissie, that is a brilliant observation and WAY too accurate. I'll share that with HRH.

Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate on whichever date. FrenchFlybebe, remind us in two weeks!

birds - I think also that I have done enough to help with easy pickings for nests from last year's coir basket liners, which had begun to look as though they needed hairbrushes. I've ordered new ones . As far as we can tell, the known nest is still incubating 5. I kept the grandchildren away from it yesterday, although they really only wanted to observe. Perhaps I would be better off to know - if mother wren has lost her nest to something unforseen, I might as well plant there now.
