Preparation!

Hello Woofers.

Daisy here.

Yesterday the fence panels were up but overnight they tried taking off again. OTL decided to leave the things on the floor and wait for the fence men to arrive.

He started to chop up the Kerploniker tree and got all worn out hacking his way through the trunk!

I think he will slowly work his way all the branches over the next week.

This morning we saw a wood pigeon seemingly snoozing on the path. All the other birds had flown off and were looking down from the roof.

OTL said it looks like it could be a sign he had not long to live.

Over the day he disappeared, the Pidgeon that is, not OTL!

So, it seems that what with the fence panels and a pigeon with a dodgy pallor, we are getting prepared for action.

We keep an eye open for froggies but so far there is no sign. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a splash when the kitchen door is opened when I go out for my early morning wee!

All the ice has gone from the pond so it should be easy to catch the small splosh of a diving frog!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Flowers?

Hello Woofers,

It's me again, Daisy Dog!

Well, good news, the fence man is coming on the third of February to install nine new panels, so that means OTL has got to dig up the ivy plants that are holding the panels up!

Another thing is, we got crocus sprouting and its still January!

OTL planted these back in August, he was following the planting instructions, for a change!

There are some Daffodillies sprouting as well, but they come up each year around February time.

There is a Kerploniker tree thing that has finally died, so it has been pulled from the ground only to be replaced when we find something to go in there. 

The mirror has fallen to bits and OTL did it gently 'cos there were supposed to have a nest of froggies holed up for the winter but when we looked there was nothing except a dry depression in the earth. 

So, from that we reckon they have found a new nesting place or moved across the garden and taken up residence where the grass snakes live.

They could of course be killed off under the ice in the pond, anything is possible!

We will just have to wait until we see a head poking out of the pond early in the morning.

If all else fails, we will have to get the begging bowl out and go around looking for froggies across the marshes!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.
