Today Lyn and I both had a visit booked at the Dentist ~ neither of us wanted to go ~ BUT KNEW WE REALLY HAD TO ~ we did eventually manage to arrive before our appointed time and when the dentist had seen us both we were glad we had kept our appointment ~ Lyn just had a scale and polish and I had one filling and a scale and polish ~ and do not have to go to see him for another nine months ~
The weather here has been very cold and lots of rain so have not been able to get out into the garden ~ and the grass on the lawn must be at least 4/5 inches tall and really does need to be cut ~ so if anyone can spare the time would be glad of any help to get it cut :o)
Henry the Pheasant really has taken up residence in the garden and has brought his wife with him ~ which is a bit of a worry as Barney is very interested in finding out where he is ~ so we have to keep the Garden gate closed before we can let the boys into the Garden we do not want the Pheasant hurt in any way
Tom my Grandson celebrated his Birthday on the 13th April ~ we had eleven people round here ~ Nin and Barney were shut away for a while ~ but we let them come through later ~ we had a nice time and Tom loved his birthday cake ~ which Lyn had baked for him ~ so a nice time was had by all ~

Nin and Barney don't look too pleased about being confined to barracks.
Belated happy birthday to Tom. Glad you all had a good time.

Those two little rear ends say it all! Poor deprived creatures, having a mum who won't let them out to play - LOL :) ! Looks to me as if your garden is lovely despite itself.
love, Angie, xx
We have violets too, they come up everywhere but they look so pretty when they flower. Later they take over like huge weeds.
I have to tell you, Henry is a Pheasant, not a Partridge, wouldn't want him to have an idenitiy crisis!! LOL

I'm glad you survived the visit to the dentist and well done for going! The pictures look great. Those were some big snow flakes and I'm amazed at the beautiful flowers you found in the undergrowth so soon after the snowfall. I'm glad Barney and Nin were able to join the party at the end and wish Tom a very Happy Birthday for me. I would have loved to have been one of the elven to help celebrate.

I do hate going to the dentist and wish I could avoid it. Our weather has finally gotten nice and warm for a few days. So, now you have the partridge family in your garden? Have a good weekend. Love xx Chris
did you notice the little ladybug in the violets? my yard is full of violets and I won't let my husband mow it until they are gone. He gets kinda upset with me. But they are so pretty! how lucky to have pheasants in your yard. I have only seen a pheasant one time.
Happy late birthday to Tom. Mr. and Mrs. Henry are quite the lovely pair. That is the way I always feel about going to the dentist. When its over I'm so glad I did go and get it over with as it is so important to do. Paula
Hi Ally, glad to hear your good report from the dentist. We all hate to go, right? This weather is horrible...on Friday (the 18th) it didn't get past 45 degrees and tonight it's down to 36 degrees. We had several hail & sleet storms thru out the day. And I hear on the news tonight, it's snowing heavily north of Seattle, they are predicting 7 inches tonight. I'm really getting anxious to get some planting done, but it's too cold out there. Hopefully, we'll all have decent weather soon. Linda in Washington state
Nice hearing from you Ally. I enjoyed seeing all the pictures. What a cute little wagon that is. The violets are bursting out all over down here as well. WE have a pair of crows that come and visit us every day to partake of the shelled peanuts Todd puts out for the squirrels. It's really interesting to watch them. I do love wildlife so. Your pups are so cute. I can imagine you get many lovely hours of joy from them!

Oh a pheasant! I am so jealous! Lucky you! And yes, your Barney looks quite keen!
Love,
Susie
I hope the Henrys stick around, although a lot of little Henrys might be too much for your doggies.
My dentist makes me laugh - until it comes to paying the bill!

Hi Ally ,well done to you both for going to the dentist.Pete went last Tuesday for a filling and it costs a fortune .Your photos are lovely we had some of the lovely little violets until the grass was cut ,then they lost their heads !!!! Happy belated Birthday to Tom ..take care .....love Jeanxx
Just one short week ago we had snow coming down too and then this past weekend the temps really warmed up and it seemed like summer time. It will be awhile yet before the warm weather really comes to stay, but I'm enjoying it while I can for sure. I love the pictures of your Mr.Henry. If there is a Mrs. too, then maybe there will be baby ones on the way soon. You really will have a time with the dogs then. 'On Ya' - ma

You could put a good caption to number 6 Ally, the boys are very inquisitive. I love Lyns little wheelbarrow, it's so quaint :)
I'm hoping you've had all your mishaps with scolding and bumps, banks and printing........you've had a real job lot lately. The pheasants are welcome visit though. Nice to see them, I'd love that kind of visit. L.v.Rache
Ally, how many children do you have? How many grandchildren do you have? Just wondering. I feel like I should know but I don't remember, maybe it's in your profile, but if not. Email me with that info, ok? We have just one son, who marriend at 44, and became a Dad at 45, and so we now have one grandchild as you probably know, Jack. AKA Jonathan David (after my husband) Kenyon. He will be 1 yr. old May 18. We are going to that birthday party fir sure, They also live in Iowa but it's 3 1/2 hours AT LEAST when I go with, as I have to get out to use the restroom. And I can't sti that long wthout moving, it makes me too sore and too stiff. Gee turning 60 ia so much fun, NOT! Hugs, Merry
Oh do your desntists call it scaling there? Or did you just say that? Here it's called "cleaning" (but it IS really "scaling." & polishing. I need to go I was due for a check up in Apirl. As usual, I put off the dentist. I hate that! I also have to have the annual physical & mammogram. I did already have my blood work done, and they all came out pretty well. My bood pressure is high, but managed with BP medication. xoxo Merry
Glad the dentist went well....
and poor Nina and Barney missing all the activity....
Hello Mr. and Mrs. Henry....
