Roll Out The Barrel!

Today is the day the barrel made it's appearance in our front garden. After two coats of varnish in between rain showers and some black paint round the iron rings it was ready. So Vin wheeled it round to the front in the wheelbarrow and put some of the soil into it to make it ready for the plants. He has already got a dwarf conifer for the  centre of it  and we got some nice mixed lobelia for round the edges from obbies the other day, so it is ready. Looks lovely too.
He has been a busy boy today because he also did the washing from the bedding today too, nice enough to put things out on the line today too, doesn't lok like there will be any rain at all so quite safe for a change. We have now had three days of decent weather, not too hot but very pleasant. Sun and blue skies. 
Little Jessie was in the front room on the sofa most of the morning, only to appear at lunchtime when she needed feeding, and then later as we were eating ours to use her cat littwer!! Good timing Jessie! Not.

Keeping an eye on us! Making sure she is not forgotten at cream cake time! Last day for that, it runs out today, no more till maybe Monday!
