Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

Haha @Shaz51 - sounds like you are getting clucky there (yes my jokes are lame 😊) No the dogs didn't mind Kidney at all (they were shitz-shus, hope I spelt that right). But we did have to chase foxes away whom hung around the house occasionally. They took my pet geese Sebastian and Fleur. It totally broke my heart 😓
One day I ventured outside to see my Persian cat being lifted into the air by a huge eagle. I stood there shocked. Luckily she was long haired and the fur detached from her skin and she fell to the safety of the ground. Cats really do have nine lives! I could write a book about the adventures I had back on the farm

I just popped back to the first page to have a look at your fruit trees @CheerBear - gorgeous!! Are they plum prunus or similar? I would love to sit there with you and share a coffee together laughing and chatting. I can really picture that 😊

I think it's time for another rainbow to appear in the garden
This one is a special one (they all are) but it came during a week of rainbow hunting. Photos don't capture how beautiful they are but that doesn't matter, it was there anyway and now it is here too ☺
