We've had two days of sunshine in a row! It's been wonderful, got the lawn cut finally and many things done outside. I've had to cover the potted up annuals each night as there has been a frost warning. That in itself is a job. I counted the planters and pots and have 45 on the go. I was wondering why every year I spent so much on annuals and now I know why. I bought some seed potatoes and have planted them along one side of the larger greenhouse and also in the small greenhouse along with peas and beans. I don't know if this will work out but am going to give it a go.
The Dandelion are around in great numbers. While they are considered a bit of a nusiance, they look so bright and pretty.
I've been mentioning that there's been a Boreal Chick a Dee coming to the feeders every day.....Well, yesterday I saw three at one of the feeders all the same time. What a great surprise. I was thrilled to say the least. They are so very cute and a little bit small than the Black Capped Chick a Dee.
A few pictures of some of the flowers in bloom at the moment.
One of the annuals I bought. A daisy of some sort. This piece broke off so I put it in water and took a picture.
Things are going along much the same as usual. Nothing much of note happening. So, I'm off out in the garden once again.

I set the daisies (?) as my desktop background..gorgeous pictures Mom.
Good morning OC. Seeing several birds that don't usually visit kind of makes you wonder if there is a food shortage farther north in the forests.
I like the dandelions too until they get that ugly stalk with the seeds.

Gosh 2 days of sunshine... now steady on there - this is getting far too exciting ;)
Over here we know the daises as African Daises and they come in a whole host of colours - wonderful. And Dandelions seem to have had a bumper year over here too; even the road verges have been lined with them and they are so cheery.
Isn't it great to have some colour back again :D
flowers at last! lovely
Glad to see Summer is finally, we hope, making her presence felt on The Rock!
