What a lovely sight first thing in the morning - are you like me and have a wander round your "estate" every morning ? I love your cat - she looks just like a tomcat we had which sadly died of old age a year or so ago. Brings back happy memories.

It looks lovely love how you ve captured the sun ray, I have a cat just like yours comes for a drink every day you are disturbing her hunt shhhh with the click of the camera will scare every thing away lol.

Yes I do Marie! lol Dont we all? If its a nice day I have my porridge and coffee on the backdoor step viewing the estate! Was lovely this morning now it rains again! The washing is all wet! Grr
Suki the cat is a female about 13 yrs..sad when they go I know this is my 4th cat. Glad she brought a smile to your face.
Thanks 6d..it was an accident with the sun lol..but quite good I thought. Suki drink s from the pond water..silly thing I put out fresh water twice a day for her lol. :))

They won't drink our water as they add plant feed to it so makes you wonder what else they are putting into it for animals not to drink.

Nice photos Pixi. I love the sunray shots and the last one of the mirror, It really looks like a gate from that angle.

I love my garden early in the morning, ( although I love my garden at any other time of day as well) this morning I was down there at about 5.15 am and the sun was just rising above the hills, there was nobody else about, it was so peaceful...for me it is the best time to be in the garden, but around 6.15 am I have to come back to reality and go to work.

Lovely photo`s Pixi, I have to check my garden out every day, morning and evening, in fact If I`ve been anywhere, even if only a short while away that`s a must do job else I can`t settle, its a habit I know but one I do not feel guilty about, of course its better in sunshine...

Yes 6d it does make you wonder! lol
Thanks Guy..I like to think of it as magical and mystical..need more fairies? lol
Thanks Annella..need to get a few flowers groing along the path though to make it better..I had put poppy seeds in a few years back but they never appeared,,maybe I'll more the lavender there and something yellow. lol
Yes Rogi its a great time of day. Always love when I wake early on a nice morning and walk about the garden in my jammies lol
Ty Lulu..ah maybe (been inspired by your meadowy bit) I should plant some dill and love in a mist etc down there too, though the sculpture is going down there when its done..I could have ivy growing up Rick's kegs lol
lol Sticki i dont know if she found any mice, I'm not sure if there are any left now, she gets them all though normally doesnt eat them..jsut enjoys the chase! :)
I know what you mean Linc..I do the same..always checking..lol as if it will change on an hour! But then sometimes it does! haha

Oops jsut realised i said Rick's kegs lol I meant legs!

It's terrific Pixi...and so is Suki...she looks a healthy strong cat for her years, long may she reign...:))
The garden looks lovely at that time of morning I agree, I usually sit on the doorstep on a cushion with my first cuppa T...I have the pond at the side of me...I feed the fish that normally come to surface, as soon as they are aware that the door has been opened...then I have a wander around...I love it if we've had rain in the night, and the plants are shiny with droplets of water....
Our cats won't drink any other water except rain water or if that's not available then it's from the Pond...Sweetie even tries to pinch the Fish pellets...they line up, two each they get lol...
I see you've made Paul blush lol....:))))

22 Jul, 2011

 

Thanks Sue! I do exactly the same of a morning if its nice weather..feed birds, feed fish who are already up and waiting, then Suki comes out and sits under the bird table or under the willow lurking..waiting..but she never actually chases them lol.
Naughty Sweetie trying to pinch the fish!
Well Paul does have a lovely garden..so do you..so do so many others on here..its so nice to see all the different ways people have their little estate isnt it. :)

Oh yes,... it's a real treat, and you can pick up so many fresh ideas from all the other members...since i've been able to get active again in my little patch, I'm always looking of ways to improve, add or even change...I was surprised at how much I had seemed to have forgotten..mind you I did have other things on my mind lol...but it's really taken me out of myself, and given me a fresh perspective...H calls me click-clack... as I seem to be on here a lot lol...

22 Jul, 2011

 

Hahha lol@ clickclack!
Good that thinking about your garden and coming on here takes your mind off other things.
I can spend hourssssssssss on here lol..but now I must get a shower and do all the stuff i had planned for today..well till coffee break lol! Have a good day..hope the sun shines on you! :)

It is at the moment, and I planted my new delivery of Clematis yesterday...will post pics when the 'Crystal Fountain' has opened fully, it came with five flower buds, and two are opening that's a good start...:)))
Enjoy your shower, lovely Blog Pixi x
