It's not long now.......

Time to dust off the broomstick ......

I went and watered the garden at 6.30am and it started to rain lol so there I was getting wet - (just as well it was only a little rain) I did notice that my cucumber plant has flowers on it ..... I have baby lil tommies on my tomato plants and a few little peppers on my pepper plants. Beetroots are coming up and radishes are begining to pop I can see there lil red bodies shouldering above the dirt. I have got some summer squash and a pink squash coming up showing me there leaves My spring onions (scallions) are nearly 2 inches tall, slender green leaves showing off, zucchini plant looks promising also and is about 8 inches tall now. I will take some pics this weekend and show off lol

Sowed some seeds tonight, I did some Bush Beans and I just thought I would try some Broccoli (never done that before so I am just trying- lol)

Was too warm for me to do it during the day.

I think they are getting along

And Daisy and Harvey have met at long last after a little hissing and growling at each other they chase each other around and do not really bother the other one so that is good

Daisy the new furbaby (sister for Harvey furbaby) has got to go to the vets today - I think she has the kitty cold got her to eat something today - she hasn't eaten for a week ..... I got down to her level and held the food bowl for her and she did half sit up and ate about a quarter of the food, I did not want her to gorge herself. Even talked to her again today and stroked her and she grabbed my hand with her paws and let me rub her tummy and she purred (first time).
The brother and sister have not met yet as they had to be seperated for 2 weeks and now this cold has them seperated anyway

DAISY





Our new cat (female) called Daisy spent most of Saturday night huddled under our bed - we got her that day, we put her food and water bowl, her carry box and litter tray in there. I saw her once in the dark walking about, she didn't meow or anything. She used her litter box cos it had a wet spot in it and I heard her munch on some dry food. She does not come out when we are in the room, so we are a bit concerned, am I being over cautious? Do I just give her time to get used to us? Our other cat Harvey keeps going to our bedroom door and meows, but the humane society say we have to keep her away just incase of any cat colds etc are passed on to her via our other cat - they said for 2 weeks.........I guess I just want her to be with us and she dosent seem to eat a lot either. She has been through a lot before we got her, we found out that she had 7 babies when they took her in, she is spayed now and weighs in at just over 6lbs and she is 1year 3months approx. Any advice out there??? Thank you in advance - I must admit in all my years I have never had this with any of my cats.

Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season and unfortunately it gets longer and longer every year, Christmas seems to start in October now! It is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. For many, it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at Christmas. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now.
