This was the thing I noticed in the garden..Its amazing what we see sometimes and what other people see in the same place.










A fly sitting on the Heather plant earlier today.I was amazed as he calmly sat while I photographed him. He was drinking the raindrops from the petals.










This is what Cat noticed.That the first Daffodil was nearly in Flower and it had caught some raindrops too. This was the bulb brought from Cheltenham when I did Mums new garden.She has now moved back into our old house and the departing tenants have let the garden go to ruin.

The original inspiration at Barley Close in Cheltenham that sparked my interest in Gardening.
The garden that launched 1000 plants (A la Helen of Troy) needs my greenfingers this Summer.
Swillington tomorrow and plant shopping.I can dream tonight of what I might buy for the garden and the allotment.

A Winged Beastie from Hil's garden.I took this photo before we went to Tatton Park.

Im back on a short set of nights.I should finally sign for the house in the morning, and see the new garden.

Its been an uphill struggle, like the Fly walking up the grassy leaf!

Its cold now that I have woken up. I want to do some google research about Catepillars and Stripes using to predict weather. Thanks Oldroses for the comment. A gardener watches the sky, the barometer, and the wild life in an attempt to work out what the coming days weather will show.

Hope all your weekends have been good, and that your gardens are not frozen over yet.
