The garden is flowering






hi there, well the warmer weather seems to have arrived with the longer evenings. There are lots of plants flowering in the garden Daffodils in full bloom and the currant bushes starting to have leaves and flowers. The woodpecker came back and I caught a picture of him on the stone urn(not a brill photo but least i caught him).I had the chance with the dry weather to give Lou's Summer house a lick of paint and next week maybe the first Mow of the season then the garden will start to get its looks back, a Robin just popped in to say hello as the evenings get longer I will be able to do this blog more justice as I can have more time to capture more of the wildlife that visits us

Woodpeckers arrive



Hey Its not often you get 2 posts in one day bur a Woodpecker suddenly turned up again and i had the camera handy so here's a couple of pix

Long days on there way






This is a great time of year in the garden , lots of plants and flowers starting to sprout, just at the moment we have loads if Siskins on the feeders and I've just missed the first Woodpecker of the year taking peanuts from an old stone urn(Lou wouldn't have missed it i can almost here her cursing me) This was one of Lou's favourite times of year long days starting in a couple of weeks I even saw some new born Lambs yesterday whilst on a bike ride Lou loved the expectancy of there arrival and always got excited.
I know my posts are intermittent but with the onset of the longer evenings i shall more time to spend in the garden
