Hils brought the new Bird bath in on Monday. I hope they use it to drink and bath...

A new Bird for the Garden.I dont know what it is yet. I need to read my Bird books and try to identify him. He picked up the seeds that have dropped from the red net bag that is on the fence post...

The Blue Tit stretching his neck to admire the new bell shaped seed feeder!

Another Unknown bird.I thought it was a Blackbird but it is not I dont think. He fed off the ground near the Bird table..

Ding Dong. Bird seed in a Bell shape. Fran brought it this morning along with the Dogwood, and a DVD player. The fruit cane is now holding it aloft.I love the acrobatic birds balancing on it as it swayed in the wind. They found it within five minutes off me placing it outside.

The Solar Light, one of four outside now in the Left hand Border.They must have charged the battery before they packed them. I just removed a red tag and it came on.I think night lights add magic to a garden, and mean you can see it differently at night, compared to the Daytime.
A day of gifts, shopping, and birds...

I was at work today all day, from when it was dark at 545 am, to dark again when I finished.
I have some lovely new garden Xmas presents.A new bird feeder from Hils with peanuts.Its shaped like a house with two mesh sides and full of peanuts now.
I got a secret present of compost, seeds, more spring bulbs, and two ceramic pots with embossed leafs!
I got a pair of Gardening shoes from Cat called Cloggies, plastic green shoes for going outside, they will be well worn and used daily for my trips into the garden. Theres no hope of them being left unworn! (I have them on now and im sat indoors!)
I also got two of my lost books...Chocolat, and To Kill A Mockingbird...both books are on my blogs profile page.
I got a comment from a lady who said its not possible to keep up with you because you post almost every day...
My question is would three times a week be enough? Its a cultivated habit I think blogging daily or nearly daily. With a new garden and plants I have had lots to write about. I never run out of idea's, someone asked where do you get your ideas from for the blog posts?
I either see something, read it, or think about it. My brain is full of gardens and flowers so ideas rise to the surface regularly.
Would people miss my daily musings and photos if the blog went three times weekly?
All comments welcome...How often do you post? And is there anyone else who posts daily? Id love your links so i can see them too :)
Happy Boxing day People!
