Friday flowers

Friday flowers taken from my garden, this week.

Oh .... and exciting news!
I was telling you about the nest and birdseggs, outside our Sons window ~ well they have hatched out and there are three rather ugly little pink birds in the nest.
Marcel climbed a tree to take a photo of the nest and will share the photos soon.
We will take more photos when they look a little better with feathers.
It is so cold so I hope Mother bird looks after her little ones and keeps them warm.






It is a cold, wet, and windy day here and I would like to be spending the weekend at home.
However, one must do what they have to, so we are driving down Country soon, to spend Saturday sorting out some things at our Family home.

I want to wish you a happy weekend and I look forward to coming to visit, on my return.

Hugs
Carolyn

    The lavender does smell lovely in the garden ~ thanks.

    Hi Sharon,

    We did have a good productive time away but I am so tired now.
    Will share some of the things I got later.

    Thanks Deanna for visiting.

    Hi Jodie,

    It was hard sorting through my Dads things but we needed to do it.
    Have come back with some lovely things, to help remember Dad by.

    thank you so much Tracie, I appreciate your kindness.

    Suzie, it is lovely to have you as a friend to help me too, many thanks.

    thank you so much Marge, I had a lovely time down at my old family home and will probably go back again next weekend too - did not get it all finished.

    Thank you DJ and I hope that your weekend is fabulous too.

    Hi Diane,

    The weather was awful driving down on Friday but we were so lucky today as the weather was fine and nice.

    Wishing you good days too, Traude,
    and I hope to share the birdie photos soon.

    Hi Constance,

    I was happy to go down as there is a lot of sorting that needs to be done and we are getting there.
    I appreciate your kindness - Thanks.

    Hi Tracey,

    The lavender is pretty at the moment and what I love most there have been a lot of bees and bumblebees about enjoying the nectar.

    thanks Rosemary and I hope that you are having a good weekend too.

    Hi Chandra and how lovely to have you visit , thank you.
    Always great to have a new blog friend and I look forward to coming to visit you.

    Thanks Millie, the trip down country went well and I am feeling so tired, just off to bed now and I look forward to catching up with you tomorrow.

    Hi Charity,

    Yes, the white flower is magnolia and sorry I said that about the birds and they will be far nicer when their feathers grow.

    Hugs
    Carolyn
