Meet Mabel!

At the start of the school Easter holidays we looked after the Boy while his parents went off to buy him a puppy. Why have we been so long without a dog in the house! Well, they came home with the most ridiculous little bundle and it was love at first sight. A boy and his dog - inseparable!
Meet Mabel!
We are all besotted.
On the garden front everything is growing like mad and I'm having to cut back to keep the gravel paths from disappearing. The exterior of the house is awash with icicles of flower.
It is so pleasing to catch the scent of the various flowers.
But it is a bit of a jungle!
There isn't much time for sitting down.
Now that the neighbouring trees are in full leafwe are cast into a mix of deep and dappled shade.
After a very wet winter I'm already back to wishing for some rain!

  1. Mabel is adorable. I wish her a long and happy life.
    Your garden is beautiful and clearly keeping you busy. It's quite surprising how little time passes before we're wishing for some rain!

    1. A dog and a boy - the perfect pairing! Now the adults can sit back while the two of them tear about.

    Your garden must be full of wonderful scents right now. I love to stop and sniff at various blossoms during my walks this time of year.

  3. I would happily live in your glorious jungle! Incredible, the kind one only sees in magazines or on gardening shows.
    And Mabel! Be still, my heart. Larry is hankering for a puppy, but we have 2 young dogs already and at 75 it wouldn't be a good idea to add a third. Although, if one comes aling...

  4. I LOST $275,000 USD TO SCAMMER ON FACEBOOK

    I’m one of those few people who invested in the cryptocurrency market and was hoping to make enough profits after my retirement. Unfortunately, I had invested in a platform that was out to steal from me, I lost around $275,000 to this platform excluding the promised profits. I had lost every penny I invested into it including the money I had to borrow from friends. I thought it was all over until I came across a Cryptocurrency recovery expert, jetwebhackers SERVICE, who helped me recover my money from these fake investors. It took jetwebhackers 72 hours to recover my money and I was able to track down these people. I’m truly grateful for their service and I highly recommend them to anyone with the same problem.
