A Warm May Day

Visible to anyone in the world

I woke up a bit too early this morning feeling alert and hot! My other half was in a tidying up mood, so I did my best to  actively encourage him!

We stopped to have a coffee with  pain au chocolat. I texted eldest son, in nearby town, to say 'good morning' he was already up and about and  answered back to say 'good morning ' and that he was off to see his friend, who lives on the other side of the town. I wished him a lovely day and will phone him later. The other half took the Charity bag full of books,  crockery and set off for the local Charity shop.

I on the other hand intended to spend a relaxing day in the garden. After a busy morning tidying up and my homework finished for now, I sat quietly on the deck chair on the porch, with my poor leg up,  my sun hat on and drank a nice cold pineapple juice. I watched the garden, where all  kinds of variety of birds were landing on the bird table. I counted 2 magpies, 2 collared doves , 4 starlings, 3 blackbirds, thrush and wood pigeons also the smaller blue tits, bull finches and sparrows.

 I didn't notice any butterflies at all today. I had just intended to sit here and  read my current  book, but I soon found myself dozing off to sleep!  Zzzz🕊🐦🦅🦅
