Baby Tree

I was up at 3.30am! I made myself a cup of tea and read the Saturday Guardian and then my book. I dozed off on the sofa for a while and woke up at 7.
A walk up the track this morning to see the sapling we planted 2 weeks before Frank was taken ill.
All its leaves have fallen but it seems to be standing strong. I always say ‘Good morning little tree!’ It looks as though it has been nibbled at.
After that we went to the garden centre for compost for the rest of the bulbs. I cleared another bed and got the rest of the bulbs in the ground and some pots. As usual I forgot to label what I’ve planted where! It will be a nice surprise come Spring ;-).It was icy cold out there but I warmed up as I was digging.
Had a long phone call with Marc this evening while I was painting. He seems to be doing OK. I think life will always be a struggle for him but we had a laugh too.
Little Lucy had her first solo figure skating performance yesterday, she did really well and is so happy. I don’t have a still photo of her but I’ll put the video on the FB Blipfoto page.

I’m tired now and it’s late, way past my normal bedtime.
Goodnight Blippers :-) X
