The temperature dropped to 1 degree last night!

But the good news is that a high of 29 degrees is predicted for today.

Yahoo….. As long as it doesn’t get into the thirties I am a happy Sandra.

It’s now 8:30am and the fog has burnt off and the sky is bright blue.

What is it about a blue sky that makes one smile? Or is just me!!
It’s coming up three years since Mum died and a decision has finally been made as to what to do with her bedroom.
Enough time has passed for me to feel comfortable sitting in it which I knew would eventually happen.
I’m not a believer in rushing things.
“If in doubt, do nothing.” has always been one of my mottos.
Actually I have many mottos!
So I now have a ‘garden room’ which is my hideaway where I can sit and tap away on my Mac, reflect on life, read a book or escape for some quiet time.   The double glass doors open up onto a private part of the garden, which makes it such a peaceful spot.
The quail, fantails, bellbirds, and every other garden variety of bird entertains me with their general frolicking, through the shrubs, trees and flowers.
The quail are becoming very adventurous; even coming up to the open glass doors.

I often have company, as Lugs has decided she loves this room too.
She knows fully well not to gaze too long in a bird’s direction or I will growl at her firmly. I must admit she has heard the words “bad pussycat” many times.
If she does happen to cast an accidental lengthy gaze in a birds direction, guilt sets in and she will run off and catch a rabbit and deliver it to me whilst trying to tell me in cat language, “I really am trying to curb my natural instincts to kill every bird on this Orchard. Sorry Sandra. Here’s a present as I know I can kill these little suckers. Aren’t you proud of me. Rub my belly.”

Many of you have asked if I could put some up to date photos of my garden on my blog so here they are!   I will post more of them later.
