While in the city today we saw a mama goose with her babies following her.
DS and I put out my pretty solar lights and a wind spinner my aunt gave me for my garden. It looks like we’ve had our last freezing night so I went for it.

We did a big grocery shopping right before it rained and got all the bags in the car before they would have been soaked. 
gf was ok with me adding a box of otter pops and big stix popsicles to our grocery list 
DD used to pilfer ice pops off DH regularly when she was little. He still likes to sneak things in but it's not usually fun stuff anymore.gf was ok with me adding a box of otter pops and big stix popsicles to our grocery list
I came home with THIRTY-SIX eggs a couple weeks ago. Apparently he and DS were both on an egg kick so he felt we needed that many. (They did get eaten in a reasonable time.) I thought we had accidentally ordered 2 or something but nope...intentional. 
think i now know why gf likes to steal bites or "share" whatever i happen to be snacking on at times her dads fault
I got a bid today for a reroofing and repair of the big shed in my back yard. It came back tonight at less than 1/2 of what I was expecting to pay and it’s a company I have used before and trust. Doing the happy dance.
just found out one of my cousin's wife gave birth to a boy last night
I brought home a hanging pot of purple and white violas after running errands.

And my new refillable finch sock arrived so that’s hanging up and brings me to 4 different food options for my little birds.

It's lovely to have birds in the garden! I never tire of watching them. Mum and I keep our plants' seedheads on after they've finished flowering to give the birds a natural snack in the autumn.I've been busy in the garden. Discovered both the waterlilies in the pond I dug last year survived the winter, the native plants I put in around the edges are flowering, and another plant that naturally colonised has been attracting little red-brown bees. We have a pair of wagtails who visit the pond every day. I'm adding more pollinator plants to the rose bed I dug last autumn, and Dad's made space for two more rose bushes which shipped today!
Can't wait to see how it'll look in the summer.

Rue had a rocky start when we first adopted her… We didn’t know if she’d make it or not. Today we celebrate a healthy girl and her first birthday! 
Happy Birthday Rue- one tough little kitty!Beautiful tooRue had a rocky start when we first adopted her… We didn’t know if she’d make it or not. Today we celebrate a healthy girl and her first birthday!
I have been growing tall sunflowers to reach in front of my kitchen window. The finches will come perch right on top.
I put in some coneflower last year. It hasn’t come back yet so I’m a little concerned it didn’t take. I am working on turning my raised beds into flower beds this year.

A friend gave me a referral for a handyman that does home improvements. We needed our kitchen faucet replaced and there were some issues he was able to fix so I'm glad I didn't let DH try to do it.

A very Happy and Healthy 1st Birthday to Rue!Rue had a rocky start when we first adopted her… We didn’t know if she’d make it or not. Today we celebrate a healthy girl and her first birthday!
You may want to post her special day in our Feline Birthday/Gotcha Day thread here :2024 Feline Birthday & Gotcha Day!
My roses arrived already! Cleo maintains that they weren't the most interesting part of the shipment. She spent ages playing in the boxes, and even Ozzie took some interest. I've let them have one as a (temporary) hideaway.

While mowing the lawn yesterday DH found a blue egg on the ground near a bush. I'm pretty sure it's a robin's egg. We thought the nest must be nearby but didn't see it in a tree. Sure enough it was set back in one of the evergreen bushes with the mother nestled on top.

Just finished cleaning the neighborhood with my 88 year old neighbor for Earth Day. Fortunately, the town is pretty clean! A lot less littering than there used to be—- maybe people are more aware?

Just got the call up to transport my very first TNR kitty (in May, no less, I don’t know how they store the kitties that far in advance). I had my choice of 1 very friendly kitty or SIX! Since it’s my first time, and I have a pickup, guess which one I chose? I hope I do this right. The thought that I am making this cat’s life happier and leaving less future cats in the wild is very uplifting to me. I would have chosen six, but don’t think 6 yowling kitties in a pickup truck could be very soothing for them.
