Wet weather blues!

2 comments

Yet another day of heavy rain and my poor garden looks very sorry for itself. Tall grasses have been blown down and the lawn in the front is like a quagmire. Far too wet to do anything about it – roll on Spring!

Little ’Un has ventured into the living room this afternoon – obviously wanted some company so has foresaken his cosy heat box. As soon as Chloe saw him appear she jumped up on the chair, out of his way.

Good news – no more mole hills have appeared – although it may be that the ground is just too wet. Several paving slabs are very wobbly so I have to be careful when I go down the garden. More work for the Spring.

The squirrel appeared yesterday and spent a long time in the garden, climbing through bushes and up onto the bird table. Little does he know that I have just bought a squirrel-proof seed feeder! Don’t know how long it will last but I’m optimistic!. I spent an hour or so early in the week clearing up all the leaves (placed them in a plastic bag to make leaf-mould). It’s a job I quite enjoy – just as well as I will have to do it several times before November is through. Oh well, time to dig out all my gardening books and magazines and dream……
