Being a full time worker throughout the summer months is teeth-nashingly frustrating. When there are these long sunny days and I'm sat at a computer or sorting out health and safety paperwork I don't even have time to think how much joy I could be having with a fork in my hand and dirt in between my toes. Now I get home exhausted and can only water the plants, let the hens out for a roam and a stroll around to see what is different in the garden.
The little visitor we had entertained at the weekend was a gorgeous frog. We only knew about it because the cat from next door alerted us to it. The first I knew about it was Luke shouting, "The cat is having a poo!" and I went over to shoo her off my herb patch. Yuck, there was this blob of green and brown in the middle of the ground and I was just about to head indoors to grab a bag to scoop it up when it hopped into the sage! I rushed indoors to get the camera to capture the little chap when it hopped into the box and disappeared from view.
Yesterday Buck Bucky discovered how tasty beetles were and today there was a tiny pinkie (a newborn mouse) on the lawn. I don't know how it got there but Buck Bucky found it and was delighted to wolf it down. Disgusting! Seeing as how they had enjoyed cooked rice for breakfast she's certainly got a varied diet right now.
