HAPPY NEW WEEK!

I hope everyone has a joyful, peaceful week! Happy holiday to all those who celebrate Sunday.

I may have baby Northern Cardinals in the nest on the side of my enclosed porch. The Cardinal pair have been back and forth to the nest constantly for the last couple of days. They usually have 2 broods in a season, so they start early.

I was also very happy to see that all my neighbors' chickens made it through the storms. The big red hen was glad to see me, too, and pecked my shoe.

Love to all.

    PAT O: Nice to see you. I was thinking about you. I'm glad the hail and high wind didn't harm you. We skipped spring and have gone from cold straight to hot summer, so I can relate. Hope you're okay.

    Thank you, Diane. I'm fine, thank you. Just far too busy for a retired person! I do read all the messages, but don't always have time to reply. Or sometimes nothing much to say. But I do value this forum for all sorts of reasons, as I know we all do. Not sure which season we are in at the moment. It was very cold yesterday, now we are promised very much higher temperatures - and even some sunshine!

    Good morning all from a sunshine and showers Suffolk.

    Many Congratulations Lindy and OH!

    Many apologies for not posting but I try and read every day. I had my Son and family here all over Easter then on Easter Monday we all drove to Northamptonshire for my Daughters youngest - Luna for her 6th birthday party at a huge soft play centre full of over excited children and the noise was terrible. But they all had a good time.

    Today I have 6 friends from Surrey arriving for the weekend - 3 staying with me and the others in Aldeburgh so Ill be busy.

    To all those with ailments or problems - I hope they are short lived and you all have a good weekend.

    Lindy and OH - many congratulations. Quite an achievement these days. Have a lovely day today and a super family time tomorrow.

    CONGRATULATIONS LINDA & OH

    I’ve been muddling around today. I did go shopping for OH (underwear), twins b-day (book each) but no luck with my flour sifter. “Helper” showed me sieves; apparently sifters are old-fashioned. OH’s favourite cake requires 1 cup each of plain & SR flour, sifted to mix and aerate. As she walked off, she declared “I don’t cook”.

    Schools ended their first term today. Our city is crazy this weekend with football, umpteen matches in 4 days. Good for hotels, AirB&Bs, coffee shops & cafes. No interest to us.

    Congratulations Lindy and OH. I love the photograph! I hope you have a lovely couple of days.

    Like Heather, I keep getting side tracked, but everyone's news appreciated.
    I also apologise for not posting, but my routine is completely different since our move.

    I spend some time gardening here, as there is no permanent gardener yet. The weeds do not stop growing!

    Many congratulations - LINDY and OH !!

    Thank you for all the good wishes. We're just leaving to go & collect our cake which has been ordered. Didn't want anyone else to go to the trouble & expense of providing one.

    Pat, the dress was quite simple really, it's all scrunched up in the picture as I'd just got out of the car.

    Here is a better pic of it,  with my OH looking somewhat sheepish! As we arrived, my dear Dad was so nervous he forgot to hold me back, and I almost ran up the aisle!!! :-0
