The sun came out to play! Spent the day pottering around the garden, it's been lovely!

I do think it's fantastic that there are lots of things to make everyone smile, it's lovely reading.

Got up this morning to find a bird sitting at the top of the stairs. I'd have preferred to have my morning cuppa before sorting it's problem out but needs must. One bird back in the wild where it belongs, sun shining, cuppa on my desk.

I found this, which just seemed to sum up my early morning pleasure of walking round my tiny garden...


[FONT=verdana, helvetica, arial]The world awakens each day from its nightly slumber, transformed by a sparkling layer of morning dew on the grass, on flower petals and leaves, on cars and car windows. These glistening droplets last only a little while, an integral part of what imbues the early morning with its aura of magic. If we sleep too late, we miss the magnificent display of sunlight playing upon an infinite amount of tiny crystal balls. To step onto the dew-covered grass is to anoint our feet with a form of water that comes only once a day for a short time, a rarefied gift of the night air that will soon evaporate in the full light of the sun. If we inhale slowly and consciously enough, it is almost as if we are drinking in this magical elixir formed in the boundary between darkness and light.

In one myth, morning dew is believed to be tears from heaven, and in another, the droplets are poured from the vessel of the goddess of dawn. When we see the earth draped with these shimmering drops, it is easy to imagine fairies bathing in the water, or a sky god weeping from a longing to be closer to his beloved earth goddess. Seeing the sparkling beauty of the earth emerging from darkness, we may understand this longing in terms of our own gratitude; how blessed we are to be here.

Perhaps heaven really does long to be here on earth, and perhaps that is why we are here—as conduits between the divine and the earthbound. As we drink the morning dew in with our eyes, our skin, our breath, it is easy to imagine that it really is a magical potion, a gift from heaven, a reminder of our true purpose, and a daily opportunity to be transformed.

This was yesterday, but I have my first ever cucumber flower and what appears to be a tiny cucumber growing.

Also, one of my Cala Lilys has the most beautiful flowers on it - 1 fully out with 2 more on the way.

Woke up this morning to a wicked toothache and a swollen face!!!!!!!!! I have an absess!

However got cheered up by going into the garden and seeing a huge flower on my courgette and it looks like a female as a small courgette sat behind it!!

Also picked some yummy strawberries which were ripe and my mangetout has tonnes of pods growing on it.

The garden has really cheered me up this morning.

(cant say the same about the prospect of the dentist as I am petrified of them!)
