Things in the garden...

Custard is a little suspicious about the new guests in the garden.



Bubbles and Buttercup are getting a lot of attention, not to mention yummy food!








The bird table is also seeing a lot of activity too - the persistent chilly weather is bring us more visitors than usual at this time of year.











Today is my daughter's birthday - she is 14 today! We had a great day out on Saturday, and tonight we are having a bit of a party with food of her choosing. Should be good!

Happy Birthday to your daughter. 14 years goes by way too fast (IMO).

Nice garden. Looks like Custard is a little jealous/cautious of those two interlopers. Hope they all get along well.

Marie - Thanks! She is having a good one so far.

Agg79 - I think he is a bit jealous at the moment, but he is more frightened of them than they are of him so things should work out OK.

Ooooo we might have bunny patties after all!! Fatten them up kids and one day.... poof, bunnies gone.

And daddy cooks delicious burgers for dinner!

You are indeed devious to have Custard guard them in your makeshift-prison, I mean garden. :)

(Don't show this comment to any of your children or they get hysterical, lol)

Happy Birthday to your daughter!

Shadowthorne - I have said things like that to my daughter but stopped - she has developed a "look" that is even more lethal than my wife's!

Happy Birthday to your daughter - and yes it is all a scam on Dads - and do you have trouble with squirrels stealing your birds' food?

Rock Chef said...

Mr Lonely - Hi, will visit later.

Teresa -Yes, he is cute isn't he -and he knows it too!

Terri - Thanks. We do like a busy garden.

Claire - No squirrels where we are, they are all in the woods a couple of miles away. I wish we did get them, though, they are great fun.

Claire said...

No-o-o-o I have a vendetta against the squirrels - they dig up all my flowers and eat all my bird food - even from the anti-squirrel feeders - I've started putting hot chili pepper on top of the dirt to try and keep them away - we have way too many here!!!!

Rock Chef said...

Claire - Hm, sounds a bit like the cats from next door who poop in our flower pots...
