Hello and welcome to this small corner, the place that D, hubby, and I call home.
We have seen plenty of sunshine here this week, which has been lovely. There have been many tea and coffee breaks spent outside. It has been a joy listening to bird songs in the garden.
After a slow start, everything is growing quickly, and the plants are jostling for space.
As you can see, one of my favourite spots is the woodland area. It is covered with plants, and all are doing amazingly well. The ferns especially love the small amount of dappled shade the tree provides. One of the good things about this part of the garden is that the weeds stand little chance of establishing a foothold with all the other planting.
Hubby also finished the other raised bed for me this week and it now has some lettuce growing in there. I have covered it for now, as otherwise, it might make a tasty snack for the pigeons! I'm looking forward to salad from the garden.
With all the time spent in the garden, there has been less done on general cleaning inside, so this sweet mouse has been offering her help. I wish!!
She even offered to spring clean in between the flower beds. Bless her.
Both D and I wish you a lovely week wherever you are.
I love little Miss Mouse. I almost feel inspired to make one myself - but the thinking is where it usually stops . . . sigh!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping she will stay around this week as well. Housework is not my favourite thing to do, especially if the weather is good. She was a quick creature to make but I just hate the sewing up.
DeleteShe is a sweet and helpful mouse!
ReplyDeleteI think we could all do with a little help sometimes from Miss Mouse. She does a good job!
DeleteSuch a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThe weather had been so much better this past week and it is so nice to be able to sit and enjoy a cuppa in the garden, and your garden is looking good.
I think Miss Spring Mouse is so sweet, and it was very helpful of her to offer to spring clean in between the flower bed ... your fuchsia (I think it is) is a nice colour.
Wishing you a happy week ahead, and let's hope we have some more sunshie.
All the best Jan
When the sun is out , it is difficult for me to stay inside. Even just sitting outside makes me feel better. I thought Miss Mouse was very good at tidying the flowers beds. I hope she managed to sweep away all the bugs that try to nibble my plants when I'm not looking too!
DeleteCan you send the mouse here, house needs a quick flick through, your garden is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think Miss Mouse would enjoy flicking her duster around somewhere new. You wouldn't need her in the garden though because your outdoor space is so lovely now.
DeleteYou have a wonderful garden and both working and sitting outside in the sunshine must be a joy. Miss Spring Mouse looks more than ready to help you both indoors and out with her broom and feather duster, Have a lovely week:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosie. I feel very blessed to have a garden to enjoy all your round. Miss Spring mouse has been working upstairs this morning so all neat and tidy there for now. Enjoy your week too :-)
DeleteOh, couldn't we all do with a little mouse to help around the house, how sweet she is. Hasn't the weather been glorious. It's a little overcast here today but still warm.
ReplyDeleteIt was overcast here this morning but the sun has come out and all the washing is on the line now. I'm making the most of every scrap of sunshine. Yes, it would be lovely for all of us to have a sweet Miss Mouse who would tidy up and have everything sparkling for when we get up in the morning.
DeleteAnd then the dream ended.....
Have a lovely week.
I love the mouse! The garden looks lovely!

Thank you, Donna. She is one hard working little mouse :-)
DeleteOur garden is such a special place for me and I love being out there as much as possible. Always something to do but I love it anyway.
Hi Donna. Just to let you know I'm not ignoring you, can't get on to your blog site at moment. I'll get my hubby to take a look later.
DeleteI love ferns as they not only look good in the garden but remind me of the ones growing wild in the countryside near our home. Your little mouse is very sweet.
ReplyDeleteFerns have become one of my favourite plants and they seem to be happy in the slight shade at the bottom of our garden. Thank you for your kind comment about Miss Mouse x
ReplyDeleteYou've made a wonderful helper... 1,2,3 and everything's done... almost like brownies :-)))
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I love it.
I wish you a lot of joy in the garden, now is a wonderful time when everything is growing and thriving
so beautifully...
enjoy.
Warm greetings come from Viola
Thank you Viola. That brings back some childhood memories of when I was a brownie. I was a girl guide for a few years as well. Everything is growing fast in the garden with all the rain we had and now the sunshine. The garden is happy and so am I .
DeleteYour garden is lovely, I have a love of ferns too and have several around the garden. I've been busy getting jobs done outside too while the weather has been nice so could do with the help of your cute mouse to help out in the house :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it is the best year so far with the ferns. I have them in the front and back gardens and they seem to be very happy where they are. It's very wet outside today so I'm giving Miss Mouse a bit of a helping hand.
DeleteWhat a sweet helper - and so nice of her to offer all her help! I could use a little mouse like that:) I love your woodland area. I can see why there are so many lovely coffee and tea breaks outside!
ReplyDeleteHello Jennifer. Miss Mouse is touched by your kind words about her work and glad that she is appreciated :-)
DeleteThe woodland area is one of my favourite parts pf the garden and as it matures less and less work is required which means I can just enjoy it.
I adore your mouse Beverley! I love your garden too, it's beautiful with all that you have planted.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Denise for your kind words about Miss Mouse and our garden. I am glad to share them with you x
