HAPPY NEW WEEK!

I hope everyone has a good week.

Winter has arrived on my patch. We had 2.5 inches (6.35 centimeters) of snow with 40 mph wind gusts on Thursday. It has melted now.

I left a carrot in the opening of the groundhog's burrow before the storm, but he didn't eat it. He's probably gone into hibernation. I left his carrot, in case we get the brief warm up predicted for Sunday and Monday.

I laughed this morning. Even with the cold, there was a lone surviving super mosquito flying around my bedroom.

Love and hugs to everyone!

  • Thank you once again Diane.

    I do not like the thought of that mosquito!

    It is very windy here. Three of my large plants in containers have blown over - an olive and two cordylines.

    I hope everyone has a good week, with no unpleasant events.

  • Thank you again, Diane. Those mosquitos are hardy stubborn critters!! We fight a war with them every time we go abroad for some sun.

    It rained all night here but has stopped now- for a while. Awful floods again in some parts of the country. Poor people,  having to clear up.

    Hope your pots are not broken,  Rosy.

    I've been pondering. After making an effort & changing the carpet and the sofa etc  in our tiny sitting room, I want to have a joiner in and get some fitted shelving to replace my mother's old antique bookcase which clashes with the modern theme. My OH has said "later!" meaning next year. I also gaze at a teak corner cupboard we have. I've been searching for a similar cupboard with shelving above, in all the latest Sale offerings (made of a different wood or finish). But I can't find anything even resembling it. Then yesterday, I had a Light Bulb Moment!! I could paint it!! Now going to consult our DIY shop for some undercoat and paint!! 

    Hope everyone has a good Sunday  especially AQ.

  • Ha Lindy. That made me chuckle! Good idea re painting your corner cupboard. 
    Diane - thank you for starting our new week. I shuddered when you said about the mosquito!!! I wonder if your groundhog will wake up for his carrot.

    I have been for a shorter Sunday walk with my friend today as I have been invited out to Sunday lunch. It’s amazing how all the snow has gone. It is quite mild today. 

  • Thank you, DIANE.

    Things here are just about back to normal after my visitors. I am feeling a bit low, can't decide if it is small annoyances playing on my mind or the kidney scan I shall have on Tuesday. A scan last November showed an abnormal 'something' in my right kidney. The Tuesday scan is to see if anything has changed. 

    I hope everyone has a good week.
