A Primrose they say,can brighten your Day!

Took the camera out to the garden today to see if I could find something to snap..... and this little Primrose was the result, as was the empty bird log..more on that though in a minute. I have my doubts that the primrose will look so immaculate after the predicted very windy weekend we are supposed to be in for! While I was out there I also spread a full bag of bark chips over the borders I'd cleared as protection for young new shoots against anymore cold weather, have no doubt that the Blackbirds will have kicked it all back on the lawn by tomorrow! Just finished and it began to rain... so that was that and back to more chores in the house. Also put out some Wren food in the hope of catching more glimpses of these shy ,tiny birds that dart about so much, maybe even get to take a photo if I am lucky!

The little log feeder is empty as you can see, the birds having cleared it again within a day or so but I don't go and buy another, I just get a few of those cheap little fat balls and push them into the empty holes... much less expensive than a new log.

I found the photo of Bebe, at home and very ,very comfortable on my desk chair in the Summerhouse last year...hm!
