Wake up call.

Magnolia tree, buds far too early

 Fruit bushes

 Acer waking up

 Hellibour , lovely blooms

 My new bulb pot (Blue) and hubbies neglected bucket of daffs.

So much new growth, and with a really cold spell promised for next week, all I can do is watch and hope nothing is killed off. It is staying sunny every day here, but each morning we wake to a frost, loads of tiny diamonds everywhere, opening our blinds each day is a pure joy. The greenhouse is really warm every afternoon. The weather fore caste say we should have snow, will have to wait and see, we often miss snowfall in our winters, we live in a sheltered spot.
Hubby has filled all the bird feeders, ensuring there is plenty to eat, the sunflower hearts, meal worms and niger seeds always go first, followed by his home made fat and seed pellets. We only use wild bird seed mixed in home made fat pellets, we also put out food where the ground feeders can feast.
I have finished reading all three library books,

The Child, Fiona Barton 

The Girl Before, JP Delaney

Right Behind You, Lisa Gardner

All new authors to me, I enjoyed each book and would happily read another book from any of the authors.
I have also joined a local reading group, their book for March is The Art of not Breathing, Sarah Alexandra, I have to pay for the book each month, but they are discounted, if the books selected are not to my taste, I can leave at any time. I am trying to widen the topics of the books I read.
Will was great on his sleep over, slept for 12 hours from 7pm,  we had time to play in the morning, mummy came over for lunch together before taking Will home to daddy. Now Will is walking, every thing is eye height, so I am on my feet more, he his a good boy, but the he see's something and it's WOW, I am not moving things, all our grand sons have learnt not to touch. On the plus side our cat's are now left to sleep, we got him a Scuttlebug, he loves to scoot around, our wooden floors makes it fun to slide.
