IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN

Lovely blog Gee. isnt this rain exasperating so much for the drought! At least your new bird bath will be kept full. I wonder if that duck egg was infertile and so was pushed to one side?

Great blog Gee, your so lucky having another duck family move in, the duckilings are so cute and glad they are doing well, millie must feel like its an invasion haha
lovely pics and nice pressies from your family :o)))

Lovely blog Gee. The duck pics are fantastic... and I like the blue bird bath :o)

Love the blog Gee19..:)))

Smashing blog Gee, its lovely to see the ducklings and my how they`ve grown, the ducks obviously feel safe in your garden and Millie is so good to allow them to stay, I s`pose she is used to them but I still think she must have a very loving nature, it is after all her domain..
Lovely pics Gee and very nice pressies, now all we need is the sunshine to get those lights working, lol....

a brilliant blog with such wonderful photo's, the ducks are doing nicely, thanks for sharing,

Lovely photos Gee, great to see how the ducklings are progressing

How wonderful to have ducks in your garden. Love the blue birdbath.

Brilliant blog again Gee.
Have added this again to favourites for Granddaughter to see how big they've grown. :o)
You're so lucky to have so many feathered famiiles in your garden all breeding. You're garden must be so special to them, that they're telling all their friends. lol. :o)

Lovely blog and photos, must be great keep having ducks in your garden.

You are lucky Gee, so much going on in your garden,never a dull moment! the duckling pictures are lovely, waiting to see the Blackbird chicks next! and is that beautiful Bluebell wood where you take Millie for her walk?

Lovely blog.

You have such an interesting garden Gill there's always so much going on ,it was nice for you to see the ducklings healthy and growing and another set making arrangements in your maternity ward garden .
A smashing choice of shrubs and I love that Black Phormium and all those pressies , you lucky girl :o)
I wonder if a rat had the egg ,I know they had eggs in our Fan tails nesting box . thanks for the lovely blog :o)

I think a rat is quite likely, Amy, we do sometimes have a problem with them living so near the pond :(
The bluebells are in our local wood, Carole, so nice to see them but I bet it is very muddy and slippery up there after todays heavy rain.

Wish we had such a super family in our garden Gee, you must feel very privileged.

Lovely blog and photos as usual, my those ducklings have grown, and nests in your bay tree....amazing you are so lucky.

Lovely blog and pics Gee

I read the first comment 'On the way to the garden centre ...' and wondered why the animals were going there! ... Then all became clear ... I love the wildlife in your garden Gee, and yes, those Ducklings have grown so much in a short time ... wonderful ... we have a pair of Blackbirds and a pair of Robins foraging for food all day so you can imagine how upset I was to find our cat brought a tiny baby Blackbird up to the door this evening ... :o(

Had to laugh at the thought of all the sheep turning up at the garden centre, Shirley :)

I like your new purchaces, and the little ducks are cute ;o)

Enjoyed your blog and pictures Gee, nice to see your ducklings doing so well.....more to come how lovely :o)
With all the rain here the Sheep and their lambs grazing opposite my bungalow have moved up the hill as the meadow is resembling a lake - your ducks would love it!!

Brilliant blog love it :))))

Ducks nest under a Camellia and blackbirds in the bay tree. Millie at the window......AW not more ducks!!!! It's a magical place your garden GEE. The bluebells are lovely and all is bright green after the rains.....lovely.

Thanks you all. Dorjac, my grandson calls me Mrs Doolittle, not because I'm clever with animals but because I talk to them all. My neighbours probably think I'm a little bit crazy but who cares, I'm happy :)

Still the rain cometh down this morning. We had the grass cut yesterday in between showers. Then I raked out lots of dead moss, put some grass seed down, and trampled it with a board. Just to take advantage of the rain. Your new lawn is looking good GEE. Worth all the trouble. I love those little ducklings, well grown and fluffy still. After that I got soaked just posting the letters.
