HAPPY NEW WEEK!

I hope everyone has a joyful week. Sending love and healing to OG and EE.

I had thought that the Cardinals had chicks, but they don't yet. I think the male was just feeding his mate. 

The neighbors' chickens were loose yesterday, and they visited my yard and laid eggs. I guess it was a belated Easter gift. Lol

Everyone here was busy covering their plants today. It's turning cold again, and we have a warning for heavy frost and maybe even light snow! We had a couple of hot days,  but we can't seem to settle into spring this year. It's predicted to stay chilly the rest of the month now.

Love to all.

    Lovely outing, Rusty. You do get about! I love to see the wildflowers

    AQ -- HAPPY ANZAC DAY - I meant to put that earlier but forgot.

    Sunny here, & I went to do battle with a photo machine in the dry cleaners. Managed to copy some of our pictures from our family gathering, but not thrilled with the quality. :-( May have to go elsewhere for some which I want enlarging, as they cannot be fuzzy. Have been in the garden feeding my peonies and sweet peas.
    Bought a card for Eldest, with a cartoon of someone doing a Zoom call on the front.

    Our granddaughter Rosie has injured her knee, or more correctly, the top of her femur by landing badly on the trampoline. Two hospital visits, & she is now the proud owner of a pink sparkly plaster cast! With purple glitter on it - it's not blood!

    Annette - I was hoping someone would look the aqueduct up. It is very impressive. I have walked along the towpath many times and been over it in a boat at least 3 times. That bit is scary because on the other side, there is no barrier whatsoever. You are just floating in the trough of water and it is straight down!!! I will try and find a picture (not mine) and send it.
    Lindy - what a shame for Rosy. These things happen don’t they? She looks very sorry for herself. They do some good plasters don’t they? Hoe long will it be on for?

    There we go Annette. That gives you an idea of what it is like on the non towpath side!!!!!!

    Rusty:   Eeeeek!   I'm not at all sure about that - congrats on braving the ride across.  (Not quite sure how I'd feel about walking over either.)

    Lindybird:  Oh dear, but kiddies' casts are very colorful these days - almost something to be envied.  How long is Amber going to be in it?  Ms. D had one a couple of years back - something about protecting the growth plate.....

    At first, it was thought that she would need the plaster for about 6 weeks, but after seeing a specialist today, it seems its about 3 weeks. She is hoping to stay at home for the rest of this week, then perhaps go into pre school again.

    I've seen the famous aqueduct from a distance, on the ground. My sis in law Sue has driven her narrow boat across it! It looks huge from the ground and very impressive.
