The vegetable seedlings are out in the greenhouse now with fleece to cover them every night. The only benefit of cloudy days is the overnight temperatures are well above freezing. I looked at the weather forecast last Sunday and every single day this week had rain spots under the cloud symbol at some time during the day or night. And they were correct, including a torrential downpour for several minutes on Thursday morning. Luckily Friday was very windy and by late afternoon the grass was just about dry enough to do a quick run around with the mower.
I spent a while searching the shed and behind it for a couple of clay flower pots that I thought I had but no luck, then I remembered one is upside down in the sink-pond to make a step in and out for frogs (no sign of any yet) and the others must have got broken when the plant stand fell over 2 years ago. There are always plenty at boot sales. I just need two for the two new plants picked up from boot sales this year. I'll take a photo after I've found suitable pots.
"Nanna will do it!"
Badges to sew on for Rainbows for the YGD and for Brownies for EGD. No hurry - it's the Easter break and Nanna has plenty of time!
Didn't realise I'd be doing this job 35 years on from my own children!
This week I am grateful for..............
- Having plenty of different coloured cottons in my sewing box to match the badges.
- The knowledge gained over 68 years that there WILL be sunshine and warmth at sometime this spring and summer however hopeless it looks.
- Vegetable seedlings looking healthy. Fingers crossed.
- Finding things to write about for the blog everyday .
- Some good crime fiction to read this month.
- Phone call from my cousin to tell me his Mum- my one remaining Aunt - is now in a care home - she'll be 100 this year- pretty amazing - all her five siblings - including my Mum died well before old age.
