another lovely day…

spotted a baby bunny, snacking on poppy plants…

and a bigger bunny in the middle of the garden…

a bit later my housemate discovered the cutest little frog and popped them next to the pond…

I had an enjoyable time reading outside, although I did have a blanket on as it was a bit cool, but the garden looked tidy following a cut, trim and blow, lol…

everything is so lush following all the rain…

the waterfall area has had the last of the liner cut back now that we are sure it isn’t leaking, yay…

was up early this morning and went out to sit in the garden… it was a bit chilly, so I had a blanket around my shoulders…

it was sunny at that point, although the weather network was suggesting it would rain for a good portion of the day, so I decided to enjoy the weather while I could…

usually I would read, but instead, this morning I just watched the antics of the critters in the garden…

as I sat there the birds were visiting the suet and a bunny was snacking on the clover close to me…

what a treat;-)…

while I was on a phone call, I looked out the window to see two bunnies…

one climbed up the front steps and I caught it on the way down, lol…

from there it went into the flower bed and ate the morning glory plant that had popped up in the mulch… happy it was one of the “wild” ones, lol…

then the two of them headed to the other side of the yard looking for treats…

a few minutes later a third one turned up…

what fun out the window;-)…

woke up early, and for whatever reason, decided to look out the front window…

the moon was still up and shining brightly, and at the bottom of the bird feeders I spotted a bunny friend…

it was busy eating the seeds that had blown out of the feeders during all the strong winds over the last day or so…

I stood watching it for quite a while, before heading back to bed… it is very interesting to watch the way they move…

and I love that cute little white tail…

the bunnies have been out for a while…

the first one turned up on March 21st, with mini eggs alongside it…

since then every couple of days another bunny has joined the group…

in between, the mini eggs have come and gone, lol…

they are so cute…

and have certainly added a touch of fun to the space…

the final bunny turned up on Saturday to complete the colony;-)…

this morning the Happy Easter sign turned up with a few items for the other boys…

and I caught a photo of the Easter Bunny resting up in the garden after their busy night;-)…

bunnies everywhere…

this morning I spent time with the flowers from March 5th…

last week I took out the carnations and today I divided the remaining mums into three containers…

one went into a glass vessel and made its way onto one of the kitchen counters…

the second container held two and went into the bathroom…

the final batch went into a purple mug on the living room table…

I also added a bunny, a glass egg, a candle, and chocolate mini eggs… Easter is coming after all;-)…

such fun to create something new from a single bouquet…

been trying to figure out why the irrigation system hadn’t been working properly…

no matter what I tried it kept sending water over the waterfall and nearly into the cushions on my chair…

we discovered that some of the smaller rubber tubes had been cut… possibly by bunny teeth;-)…

we were able to fix a few, but needed more tubing…

went to Lee Valley and picked up another of the systems so that it can also water the vegetable garden…

laid the main hose out in the sun to soften the curves and then stretched it out to see if it would go where I wanted it… looked like it would work fine…

we attached the new unit to the end of the main line so that it could send water to either the garden beds or the veggie section…

then the main hose was dug into the ground between the connection point and the veggie garden…

the hose was run along the back of the planters, holes were punched into it, the watering heads were added to each of the pots… another hole was made leading to the file cabinet planter and then the last bits were added…

it works perfectly and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome;-)…

hmmm, wonder if we can figure out how to deal with the pots around the deck and in the centre of the garden🤪…

early Tuesday morning I was sitting on the back deck, listening to the burbling of the pond, as a bunny came right up next to me… we chatted, well I chatted and the bunny twitched its nose for a few minutes, before it hopped away… pleased that it felt comfortable as I sat there reading quietly… well, maybe it didn’t notice me, lol…

reminded me of how truly blessed I am… and what a wonderful life I lead…that I can sit in the sunshine and shade in my garden and enjoy the nature around me – the birds, and squirrels, and bunnies, and bees – every day that I want…

and while I was there, to hear about the ducklings that hatched yesterday, and today crossed a busy street with their momma, (protected by two different people families) in Ottawa to find a swimming pool to start the next portion of their journey…

later in the day I stood up from a chair on the upper deck and spotted a goldfinch at the feeder… it flitted about nervously for a few moments and then, when it felt safe, called its partner to come and eat… they were happy for a while, until a squirrel came and chased them away…

if I hadn’t stood up at just that moment I would have missed them… a lovely treat…

made chicken soup from the leftovers of Sunday’s dinner and tested out a few new purchases which arrived at the door…

nice…
