| Over the back fence |
We still have strong winds today and they are not exactly
warm. There is no rain forecast but we
have no sunshine either, only a lot of grey clouds.
Not the best of weather for my eldest son’s 46th
birthday. It seems incredible to me that
I have a son who is that old, because I don’t feel that old myself!

| New garden beds |
He has been busy in the garden the last few days, laying a
new path and finishing off some new garden beds. Now he is digging over ground to sow a new lawn. He reminds me very much of his father, always
with a project on the go.

We long ago gave up giving each other birthday presents, but
grand-daughter and I will cook him a special dinner tonight. Nothing spectacular, just a simple meal that
we three can enjoy together.
Grand-daughter’s specialty is meatballs and rice with a
sweet and sour sauce, and I have made a trifle for dessert.

| 'Redwall' by Brian Jacques |
I have finished another book – Redwall that was written by Brian Jacques. It is a story about an evil cruel rat and his
henchmen who try to destroy a peace-loving colony of mice. The story was full of animals dying left
right and centre, but thankfully no gory descriptions or I would not have been
able to read it! I think teenagers would
appreciate the story more than I did.
And, now, time to search the bookcases and see what I want
to read next.
Happy Birthday to your eldest son! He sounds like a very energetic man. Coincidentally today ( the 6th) is also my eldest son's birthday. Today he has lived half a century. We adopted him when he was just 10 days old and he is very much the organized and efficient boss of a large construction company. His 2 younger brothers are a lot more laid back and would never want his stressful job.
ReplyDeleteI think your birthday supper will be delicious!!
I think we all wonder how our kids can be so old,
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you son! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of starting a new garden appeals to me......in theory. In practice having wrought my present garden from bare and rugged croftland the reality of it is that I won't be doing that again!
ReplyDeleteI've just ordered 3 more books off trade me so looking forward to those arriving, usually I enjoy reading historical stuff fiction and non fiction.
ReplyDeleteI mis-read the title...I thought it said a Birth in the family...then I realized you said BirthDAY....happy birthday to your son. Enjoy the time and meal!
