I surprised
myself this morning by being up in time to see the sun rise – and just as well
I was, as it disappeared soon after and hasn’t been seen since!
The whole
day appears grey when the clouds are so heavy that the sun cannot shine through.
A grey day like today (only this photo is more interesting to look at than around home!)
Son and
grand-daughter have been away this weekend so I have been on
cat-and-rat-sitting duties. So far they
are all alive still, and I am remembering to feed them at the right times!

The weather
forecast is for heavy rain tomorrow but just cloud today, so after doing the
general housework and vacuuming up countless clumps of cat fur off the floor
(they are moulting), I spent some time in my potted garden.
The horseshoe is still waiting to be hung, but at least it is sitting the right way up!
I filled
several pots with fresh potting mix ready for some seedlings to be
purchased. The idea is to have this area
full of summer flowers so that the deck becomes an inviting place to sit, so I
think I will go mainly for annuals to give the best show.
Some cheerful calendula flowers to cheer up the day
One more
week until Road Trip time. I am getting
excited 😊
Have a great weekend,
Margaret.
I would be willing to bet that not too many people have been on cat and rat sitting duties! Not something I have ever done!
ReplyDeleteA few blooms sure brighten the day!
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though our forecast of rain for tomorrow is now just cloud. Hope so. Not much sign of sun here today.
ReplyDeleteI think we have your sunshine, it's been a couple of cold sunny days here, won't last for long, so we are making the most of them.
ReplyDeleteOur day did clear for a bit during the afternoon, but there was a cold wind the whole time - despite that I did have a wander around our local lake with the (extended) family!
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

Late afternoon we had a bit of sun shine through - but this morning we are back to heavy cloud and it feels like rain. The wind still feels rather chilly.
DeleteLove the grey shot a lot - and also the last one, so cheery. May the luck fall in your horseshoe.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a trip is always wonderful. Keep the animals alive and have a nice Sunday!
Hello,
ReplyDeletePretty view of the water. The flowers are beautiful. I like the cute gnome. Take care, enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy new week!
Those blooms would look good at my house! We have had fog all morn so far...wondering when it is going to.lift.
ReplyDeleteCat and rat sitting. Oh heavens. You are used to the rats. Do the cats get along with the rats?
ReplyDeleteBright flowers will be a wonderful addition to the deck
When they think we are not looking, the cats will sit and stare at the cage but they have never attempted to disturb them (that we know of!).
DeleteOur neighbour hamster sat for us one time and the little thing died. She felt so bad. Hope you have better luck with the cat and rat.
ReplyDeleteWe hve the same sort of day as I look outside, gray skies as we wait for rain.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the dreary weather will be gone by the time you leave on your Road Trip.
ReplyDeleteI remember way back when one of my sons got his turn to take the class guinea pig home for the weekend and it died.
I am definitely looking forward to you taking me on the road trip!! At the moment there are no plans for a road trip of my own as we are being encouraged to stay at home due to the Covid numbers going up. Grey skies here today but yesterday was a brilliant day.... just the right temperature for walking and a lovely blue sky.
