It has been another good day for us.
Hubby has done some gardening and our compost bin has produced some lovely mulch from our grass cuttings. He is planning on where to put what this year, and the intention is to grow cabbages and cauliflowers, onions and tomatoes. We have given up on carrots and green beans, but have some activity in the garlic trays in the greenhouse, and the freebee roses are also doing well!

While he was doing all that, I got the card kit out and set to.
I ended up having two sessions (and backache LOL) but have made 16 cards in total today using up some odd and ends. No experiments or anything special today, and several cards although not exact duplicates, used the same papers just with something different on top. I concentrated mainly on birds today as I had some left over from a pack I bought last year. No photos of my efforts today, but they were along these lines:
I now have plenty of Hello cards in the box, and there are nine cards on the coffee table waiting to be written, five of which are birthday greetings for the first week of February.
We have also had a walk today, so the ‘human puppy training’ is well in hand. Now we just need to find one.

so you are puppy hunting – best wished with that!
your cards are lovely and so are the veggies – mmmm
Thank you. Yes, we are looking for a new pup. No luck so far, but we are optimistic. We still miss Maggie terribly and although I said I didn’t want another dog, I seem lost without one.
yes – I understand the feeling of not wanting another dog – that is how I felt when our second set of labs passed away – and we went while without any dogs – and it as nice for a bit – and then the heart felt called to get one (and we prayed about it a lot) then we missed a rescue of a yellow lab pup – and my hubs was sad – but a few months after that rescued a 2 1/2 year old chocolate lab pup (Elway) and he was our family member in waiting – hahaha
so sending good vibes your way to get the right one and condolences again for Maggie (woof)
Thank you so much. We see our pets as our family, but Maggie will always be my baby. The new pup will make their own way into my heart, and there is room for them.
🙂
Beautiful cards. Continued prayers for the right dog.
Thanks Lauren. They are previous efforts, but the ideas are the same.
Got it
I hope you find your puppy 🐶 soon.
So do we Sadje.

awesome you had such a great day Di!
I’m glad yoou got to make so many cards and get a nice walk in!
Good luck growing the veg! Xx
Last year we were very lucky so we’re hoping to do well again this year.
Hope so XX
No Swedes this year? I hope your “puppy training” is going well and the search is soon to pay off!
We had a lovely swede last year but the slugs and ants got the rest. We’ll see how much room we have left and maybe have another go cos I can always freeze it.
Love the cards! How did you get such a big cauliflower! I think I only tried once and it had bugs all over it. Maybe this year I will try again. David said he will build me a raised bed to start a new garden.
Our onions are in a raised bed, as were some of our caulifowers. We had about four that size and three smaller ones, so are hoping for a similar harvest this year. No special treatment though, they just grew well.
