Pottering!

The rape seed is just coming out and the colours in the surrounding fields of the village are so astounding! I went for a walk with Elsie, especially to take this photograph. I love the contrast of the yellow of the rape seed and the blue of the sky. I have just been pottering today but am well chuffed with the progress I am making with my vegetable patch. I have now planted potatoes, raddishes, onions and am about to sew the carrot seeds. However the sky is dark and I can see a shower heading this way so I have come inside for a short break. I laughed when I read dot's comment yesterday re the size of the pictures. I don't know about you, but sometimes it takes ages to re-size so I am using Photobucket. The only problem I find with loading a batch of photos from one of our journeys is they are always in the wrong order. ie, I always want them in chronological order of the journey and they come up back to front, so I am experimenting! Yesterday Libby tagged my blog as one of her favourite blogs. I was well chuffed and am now going to tag 5 other blogs I read. Stacey's Blog is amazing as she is keeping a blog whilst she is on a cruise. It is soooooooooooooooooooooo awinspiring! The Compulsive Worrier LOL! I just love the title, and take a look at her garden blog too! My neighbour in Lancashire! So pleased she got the green light from the doc! My good friend Gill, who I have known for a couple of years now. Hoping to meet up when she comes over to UK some day with her hubby! and finally my pal Talj who is starting up her very own balcony garden. Again we are working together and encourage each other along the way! Talj is not far away from us, we will have to meet up for a cuppa sometime! It is Ruth's birthday today, my tulips are just about ready to say "Hello!" Happy Birthday Ruth! We have all been thinking of Ruth and her family during the past few weeks. A poem was specially written for Ruth, by Sylvia. I am sure you will agree it is so very true and so beautiful.
