I much prefer to fly.<br /><br />No rush for the ATCs. You will have to wait a few days...<br />xxxxx<br /><br />Hi Ginny, that reminds me I still have to unwrap it! <br /><br />Thanks for the visit Valentina and I'm glad you liked the photos. Poppy is a hit, isn't she?

Buster loves milk, that's the attraction of tea. Jim takes sugar, I don't and he likes both!!<br /><br />KathyB, thank you. We both just love the garden, as you can tell, especially at this time of year. It takes some managing though. We love wandering around admiring it!! <br /><br />Thank you Jason. I think it's because our bedroom window is so huge! But you are right. We'll all want to get out there too! Loved your blog.<br /><br />Hello Mary, thank you for adding me to your favourites. What pressure!! I love your place too, it's great and the animals. I will send an email about your lovely soap.<br /><br />ooglebloops, what a crazy name!!

We have more unsettled conditions to look forward to and although the sun is shining today, there is a cold breeze. Poppy looks like a little fairy person - so sweet. Your garden is looking beautiful - so much work for you both but a credit to you. Dandelions are a much maligned plant and people seem to freak out when they see the 'clocks' ready to send out their seeds. They are easy enough to dig up if they arrive unwanted. The flowers are cheerful, the leaves are edible and the clocks are beautiful - so there!!

We have a house in the UK on the south coast, so that's where the things are coming from! His daughter is going to live in it for a while from July so we are trying to clear it a bit for her, her husband and new baby due in August. Did you think he was a robber!?? LOL.<br /><br />Thank you Bjornik. Poppy is sweet, isn't she? Such big eyes.<br /><br />Hello Marianne, I'm so glad you enjoyed the little garden tour.

Your place reminds me of the gardens that I dreamed about! I would imagine a lot of your "free" time goes into keeping it up, and that has to be very therapeutic! You asked about ordering soap from me. If you want, send me an email and we will talk about it (how to ship, how to order) anniesgoathill@gmail.com.<br /><br />I am adding you to my favorites today...I sure do not want to miss a day of your beautiful blog!Mary Humphreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588951598159062308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-11658964287202968182009-05-11T10:48:00.000+01:002009-05-11T10:48:00.000+01:00Hello mother, thanks for mentioning my blog.

I love the stories about plants and all the associations they have - particularly with our childhood. The orange tip is so beautiful isn't it. It's one of our first butterflies and our indicator that winter is over, so it's a real favourite of ours. If you have Google Earth, put 52 59.09N 8 40.63W in the 'Fly to' box and you will see our heart-shaped piece of land with the house and barns towards the top. Our orchard is an oblong piece of land sticking out to the right of the top of the heart.Twisted willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984448155644528425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-81568813632354950412009-05-11T03:13:00.000+01:002009-05-11T03:13:00.000+01:00Hello Mildred, I was just reading your blog! Jim ...Hello Mildred, I was just reading your blog! Jim said 'have you seen Mildred's comment about the dandelion?' Jim has a blog and he has done a post on dandelions, the link is:<br />http://livingwithtwistedwillow.blogspot.com/<br /><br />He hasn't done many posts yet and is new to blogging but I think you'll like what he has done so far.<br /><br />I used to tell the time by a dandelion clock! Each blow was an hour, I didn't know about making wishes. They are so perfect, aren' they? I'm glad you've enjoyed today's post, it was rather long! Whenever we take photos, we always take too many. I have to try and be selective with them.<br />Buster does love tea, but milk doesn't do him any good, still we figure a little won't hurt. He's fast asleep now as it's 3.15am! We should be too. Take care Mildred,<br />BT<br />xBThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-55402340040195474542009-05-11T02:59:00.000+01:002009-05-11T02:59:00.000+01:00What a great post - I was soaking up every detail!...What a great post - I was soaking up every detail! Glad Jim made it home safely and that the weather permitted you both to get out in the garden. I have been looking on google to see where you two are; now with your new map, you can look up Georgia! You should snap a photo from your new bedroom window to share with us. Your lawn pictures are so lush and pretty. Love the flower close-ups too and the hills of County Clare in the distance. I laughed when I saw Buster begging for tea and then getting a few drops from the bottom of the cup. That is what Harriet does during my morning coffee! I am curious, have you heard of making a wish when blowing on the dandelion? We did that as kids! I love the orange tip butterfly, of course and thanks for sharing the darling photos of Poppy! She is so very sweet. Hope you have a great week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
