BA'S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!!!

Happy Birthday BA, sounds like you had a lovely wake up call, lucky you, see you have snow also, what a nightmare.

Yes Yorky, you got it too? We all need something to look forward to I think ....snow wasn't on my list:-( Ah well .... soon be erm spring? summer?:-)

Thats a smashing experience, I thought of Snow White but she had sunshine lol, can't see Mrs Blackbird helping with the housework but she'll be good for gardening, I have to be careful as they come onto the patio, the cats are always watching through the window and if outside will hide behind my pots ready to pounce....
You've had a lot of snow, it tried here without success thank goodness but its s'posed to be spreading our way, I really won't mind if we miss out.....
Happy Birthday Ba, have a good one xx..

Happy Birthday B.A I think Mrs Blackbird must have known it was your birthday and came to greet you, a great start toyour Birthday , hope the rest is just as magical;0))

What a delight Ba xxx

A magical birthday for you, and no I don't think you made too much of it...
Oliver twist comes to mind....feed the birds or food glorious food....
Could you tell which she was singing?

That was a wonderful start to your day, Ba ... hope you are having a lovely birthday ... despite that white blanket on the ground ...:o))

I have to follow the others and wish you alllll the best for your birthday. It has started very well, what an enchanting experience!

Happy birthday BA, what a wonderful gift from nature!

Happy Birthday BA but i know that even if i wrote out the whole of the song it would be nothing like as special [or as tuneful] as the blackbird singing for you!

that is a memory to treasure!

Maybe she knew it was your special day. Happy Birthday BA x

What a magical start to your birthday, hope the rest of your day was as enjoyable!

How absolutely lovely ba, made me smile too. Glad you told us, and enjoy the rest of your special day!

Thanks Lincs, Carole and Pam, she certainly didn't offer to help with the housework Lincs and I couldn'r quite make out the words of the song Pam, but you're right, definitely about food:-)

Every year comes and goes,
Brings its flowers and it snow
With each birthday every year

Happy Birthday B/A

Thanks Shirley, Spenny, Dirtyred (seemed impolite to just dirty lol) and Sticki, it was special:-)

Thanks Scottish, Louisa, Sheila and John, I don't feel a day older lol:-)

Today I awoke to one foot (30cm) of snow. I went out to clear a space to put bird food and put my foot down a big hole at the side of the path. Went face first in snow and called myself all sorts of silly b****r lol. I'd dug out a viburnum a few weeks ago and put my lovely new pieris pink delight, a-dangle with flowers in the hole, not planted though, just to see how it looked. Hope it's ok and I haven't broken any branches. The snow was so deep there I never saw it. I hope none of the wildlife have started breeding yet following those three lovely days a while back. I have put together my new birdtable, but they aren't using it yet, contrary birds:-))

Now thats typical Ba, worrying about the plants and insulting yourself, I hope you are ok, the birds are contrary sometimes, although I s'pose its self-preservation really and they keep an eye on new things for a while to make sure it safe for them, I know in my garden they'll take a while to try new feeders..

Lol Lincs, after the fall I cleared a narrow path about 10 feet long and put lots of seed and suet pellets down. I even had a visit from a wagtail, never had one before, they must all be desperate:-)

I think they are poor things, its been such a long cold winter

"Happy Birthday " BA,
you sure she was singing and not telling you she didn`t care for the sight of you in your jim jams. Only joking dear glad you had a magical start to your day.

How very dare you Phyl, I'll have know my jimjams are gorgeous pink leopardskin! They were lucky to see them lol:-)

We're poor things too Pam:-)
