Play time :)

It was a mixed day today with plenty of what I still think of as April showers - a line from a poem I remember from childhood always seems to come to mind about this time of the year.....

The Months

January brings the snow;
Makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain;
Thaws the frozen pond again.

March brings the wind so cold and chill;
Drives the cattle from the hill.

April brings us sun and showers,
And the pretty wildwood flowers.

May brings grass and leafy trees,
Waviang in each gentle breeze.

June brings roses, fresh and fair,
And the cherries ripe and rare.

July brings the greatest heat,
Cloudless skies and dusty street.

August brings the golden grain;
Harvest time is here again.

Mild September brings us more
Fruit and grain, for winter store.

Brown October brings the last
Of ripening gifts, from summer past.

Dull November brings the blast:
Down from the trees the leaves fall fast.

Cold December ends the rhyme
With blazing fires and Christmas time.

Sara Coleridge

(I wonder what this poem might read like if it were re-written for the Antipodes?!?!?!)

Anyway, I did some tidying in the shed today with a vague idea about creating a kind of 'summer house' down there. This idea evolved because I have some old demolition timber down there which I've offered to someone I know who does a bit of hobby carpentry. I needed to extract it from the cobwebs and junk so he can have a good look at it - hopefully tomorrow. In extracting it I ended up with a relativley clear space which could be turned into a very rustic summer type house......maybe!!

This pic was shot between showers and tidying while playing with the cats in the garden. (I like the way the garden looks from this angle! Gives it a kind of lush and well established look........which is my ultimate goal!)

Weekend's here - have a good one everyone :)
