I went for a walk around a field, and by the hedge I crossed paths with a young hare who promptly hopped away. They're beautiful!

This reminds me, during the snow, we were walking through a field and we could see hare, fox and rabbit prints in the snow. It was so lovely!

Pictures of nieces and nephews are gaurenteed happy makers! I got one today of my niece, I saw her a week ago but she is getting bigger every day at the moment!

I overheard my neighbour's older grandchild (he's the ripe old age of five) earlier on. He got out of his grandfather's car earlier, and declared, "Hi Uncle, I got a haircut!". The way he said it and his deportment were hilarious.

Yes, that did work.

That is their womb pose! Sorting out feet and heads takes a while

Graces7 · 14-04-2018 8:54pm

Wait until we all start posting cute pictures of our grandchildren, nieces and nephews to rival all the cats.

Where will it end?

Nine blooms ready to open on a Camellia I have nursed for four years from a cutting.

I have a thriving camellia from a cutting off a plant from my grandmother's garden. She died over 30 years ago so it is very treasured. Here in the south east it has been blooming since before Storm Emma and somehow survived!

I get great happiness from the memories plants in the garden give me, as many are cuttings or seedlings from places we visited over the years or from the gardens of friends (some long gone); the Camellia is from the garden of a good, well known, friend in the UK. His wife Jane planted the parent plant less than a year before she died, so I'm thrilled this one is doing so well.

Here, I'll contribute one, it's not a very clear pic, but I like it because it looks like she doesn't quite know what to do with her tail... she's got no manners this one.

TH we're nice and cosy inside and it's howling out, and I started watching a series on Netflix that ticks all the boxes for me yesterday so I'm going to watch another episode as soon as the children are dispatched to their beds.
That is, in a few minutes :cool::pac:

Heard husband at the hall door calling in the cat . Cat not moving and staring at him as if he is mad . Husband shouts at cat to get .... in now . Cat sits staring , not blinking . Husband shuts door in a mood and goes back into his armchair where our cat is now fast asleep on the warm patch .
He was calling in the wrong cat ! Ours was sneaking on to his pre warmed armchair tittering under his breath
" he should have gone to specsavers"

Took my 15 month old to the playground this morning. He crawled into a little play tunnel and thought this was hilarious! I went from one side to the other trying to coax him out for over ten minutes while he roared with laughter (too fat to go in after him myself). Eventually I asked a three year old boy to see if he could coax him out and he did better than me! Of course he was destroyed from crawling around on the tarmac but Daddy got him changed and Mommy was none the wiser!
'How did ye get on at the park?'........ 'grand!'.

Graces7 · 15-04-2018 6:53am

trying again

erica74 · 15-04-2018 8:30am

We brought our older dog to the vet yesterday. She has a few niggly things that we wanted to get looked at but nothing specific. She is old so we kind of just want to keep an eye on her and not have anything sneak up on us.

So we went into the vet anyway and went through everything with the vet and it turns out, she's healthy! She's deaf, there's nothing that can be done about that, for the most part, it's funny.
She's overweight, she has problems with anxiety (she's a rescue) and literally eats EVERYTHING so there's nothing we can about that.
She is always scratching at her mouth, particularly after eating so we thought she might have some cavities or tartar, it turns out that all the eating she does has actually been good for her teeth and the vet said her teeth are excellent for her age! She eats stones, coal, briquettes, stones! One of the other dogs is CONSTANTLY licking inside her mouth, licking her teeth, it turns out that's probably why she has so little tartar. He's her little dentist!
The vet also thinks she's not older than 10, because she's a rescue we have never known her age but he said she's definitely not older than 10.
So other than being overweight, she's healthy, the vet actually described her as healthy!
So she's definitely going to be around for a few more years anyway:D:D:D

Having done things about the house and garden yesterday when the weather allowed, because this rain has the next couple of days ruled out.

THE MASS (I had to prepare) IS O-VER !

Never doing this again.

If so I don't think this game is for you :pac:

That would be gas !

Nah, just a Mum. (and not a religious one at that)
2 years ago, there was a Mum who's a religion teacher who offered to take the job of preparing communion/confirmation family masses from the teachers/principal in the school.
All good intentions, and that was great while she was there to help, but this year she has no child doing either, so it was basically left to a bunch of parents who don't have a clue, like myself.

I was supposed to have a partner, who was even more bewildered and just waited for me to give him jobs that ... erm... he didn't do. I put him to good use today though.

Very very glad it's over.

And another TH is that this evening myself and the children are going to hear their father in concert. That'll be fun, he usually plays away, not on home turf much.

Thanks

The priest was happy anyway, he even asked the congregation to clap for all the parents who organized all the masses. Next in line are the actual communion and confirmation masses, that we don't have to prepare obviously.

Great time is May.. Sent a first communion rosary to the mother of a previous landlord; gave them , yes hand made and semi-precious beads, for the first thee of his chlldren when they reached the age, so did not want the last child to be left out

Tiny rural parish so they were each the only one each year which made it all the more special...

Love going through Dunnes and seeing all the dresses.

I may not be far behind you. I could say too much of a good thing is bad for you but I can't.
