Easter round up*

'Not our cat' took up almost permanent residence

while his owners were away.

P weakened and bought a box of cat food.

The wisteria has survived my merciless pruning.

The cherry blossom could not have looked lovelier.

There were scenic walks.

Flowers from the garden.

Excellent birthday cards.

The 'children' laid on the Easter egg hunt.

I think we'll be finding them until next Christmas

they were so well camouflaged.

Even though the weather had deteriorated 

 this visiting Greater Spotted Woodpecker

brightened the final day.

* And speaking of Round Up,

I have always gardened organically,

but unless anyone has any better suggestions,

I think I may have to resort to a systemic weedkiller;

the newly exposed garden is carpeted

with ground elder.

I have started trying to dig it out...
