  • Rear Window or Room With A View

    Out of my window at the moment, I can see a jungle of potato plants in tall black rubble sacks, a mass of trees towering over the garden and a large rabbit enclosure along the back wall complete with four crazy rabbits.
    The sun in shining, the day looks beautiful and little insects are flying, floating and fluttering through the air.

    What can you see from your window at the moment?

      I'm not out of bed yet, and opened the blinds when I brought the mac power lead up...so i can see the pub next to the cananl lock, and the road inbetween us, and the field opposite our house.

      I have every intention of looking out the back door to the chill out room and the greenhouse, no doubt with Mr Z sitting on the decking in between having a swift cuppa and some toast....sometime today.

            I can see my toms in my little plastic green house on the decking with my herb pots, growbags with salad leaves growing in them and 2 bags with lush potato leaves showing over the tops. Then below the decking there are 2 small wildlife ponds and then lawn with the dogs on with a corner of shrubs on the left and my enclosure for the tortoises on the right. All a little higgeldy piggeldy and only postage stamp size, but I love it.

              I's a bit hard to see past the peppers/toms on the window sill but I can see a pair of blue tits buzzing back and forth to the box next to the window. Two crazy rabbits in an enclosure, fish swimming around in the pond and a great big pile of mud & rocks where we're having a retaining wall redone

                  It's rare that we get to see anything due to our canine window dressings......

                            Thanks, its a work in progress. Its very steep, and we have been building 'flatter' areas. That hole has probably all sorts living in ! we have foxes at the very top who come and feed every day.

                            I like to sit at the kitchen table with lap top (and the vine) and take in my view at the same time

                              If i stand at my bedroom window, i can see a water butt and compost bin ready to go up the lottie. Our rescue dog daisy soaking up the sun with that look of sheer bliss on her face, life doesn't get any better for Daisy than lolling in the sun! My lovely wisteria which is growing over the top of the utility room roof, i wish you had a sniff cam and you could smell what it smells like it is heavenly, i can see down my garden which since i have taken up the lottie has fended for itself. The result is that it is full of aqualegias, poppies and foxgloves that half self seeded now that i am not weeding it. The lawn is like a meadow with ox eye daisies in it, different grasses, buttercups and plantains, some peoples hell my heaven. I can see a sparrow having a bath in the pond and my shed which i have painted a lovely pale blue colour at the very end of the garden.
                              It isn't much but it is one of my favourite views, my little bit of heaven, wild, uncared for? some may say so, my mum for one, but to me it is just relaxed and doing its own thing and i love it.
                              When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
