Rain drops keep fallin' on my head...

by gardengirl ^Pro @ 10/06/12 – 16:08:42

The weather man said that today would be nicer than yesterday, so I thought I would spend some time in the garden today getting some of my plants in the garden. How wrong was that thought? I started to potter around the garden pulling up a few weeds and put a few plants in. I was thinking about were some of the others could go when I started to feel drops on my head, before long it was pouring.

I retreated into the house and watched the puddles in the garden fill-up.

The birds are not very happy with me; the starlings are still around and empty the feeders within a few days, consequently they need filling up. Mr and Mrs Coaltit have been visiting with the babies and they are not pleased that the feeders are almost empty. I might have to brave the rain to put some food out if it does not stop soon.

Summer time eh ? It's not very pleasant is it ?
Fingers crossed that we get at least a few weeks of summer at some time soon.

welly weather...a bit of rain won't hurt so they say. As for the birds we have an onslaught of pigeons, who seem to think they can access the feeders too....must try and get a pic!

  Pigeons are rather piggy.

  I have been out and done the birds. My hair got rather damp and I now look like I have had an electric shock.

See its been your turn for the rain! - we've had a lovely day - ventured across to Hull then followed the East Coast Run to Sewerby - felt quite brown - that was until we returned home then we drove through showers that seemed to get heavier and heavier ....................

Cheeky little 'piggies' too! As soon as I started filling up the bird feeder the little 'piggies' started harrasing me. Unfortunately for them I'm not scared of birds! Hubby has devised a sort of cover on the feeder that only smaller birds can get at.

  Oh well glad to hear that the big birds are not going to get all the food.

poured all day here too well most of it and we've seen a couple of starlings around here for the first time for ages... But generally, the birds have mostly disappeared from around here with the advent of the killer cat...just demolished our bird population by herself...deep sighs...GBHs...XXX

  I am sure it must be more than the cat as we have a cat, which does kill birds, but we still have lots of birds. Anyway it seems to have stopped raining here... at last!
