Glory to God, we have had three truly lovely days in a row. Low-60's with sunshine. Spring has come to our part of England. I did not even wear a coat while walking the kids home from school!!!
We came home, made smoothies and sat out in our ill-kept back garden soaking the amazing rays.
We threw tennis balls for the cat to chase and examined the hole in our compost box (Pete thinks it was made by rats).
Since the garbage man (rubbish lorry) only comes every two weeks here, we have to recycle like maniacs and we also found two big compost boxes at the end of our garden, which we use as well.
Yesterday I threw a large chunk of hardened french bread in one and the next morning we watched as a huge raven carried into the middle of the garden and tore into it. We believe that we also have hedgehogs in our hedges (no surprise that the hedges are where they live) and have talked about setting out bowls of milk to entice them out onto the lawn. Pete (big Pete - guy who lives with us) is a photographer and wants to entice all manner of wildlife into our yard so he can get pictures. If he gets a picture of a hedgehog, I will pass it all around.
But now I have to go cook dinner and then be exiled to bridesmaid dress slavery. One more to alter and then I am done.......for about a week.
I hope you are all having a lovely day.
