It is only Thursday morning but Chris has gone to fetch my son and his family from the airport and they will be here within the hour, so I am making the most of this little window of peace. They are only here for five days, and my grand-daughter is a lively three year old, so this is probably my only chance to get this done.
When I was making up a bed for little Aisling I knew she would be bringing her beloved 'Plum', (a plum coloured rabbit who goes everywhere, dragged by one of his long ears), but I wanted something to make her bed look less stark, so I dug out 'Duckie'. We bought him for Ben when he was two, thirty-five years ago, and apart from a little fading he is as soft and cuddly as he was when he was new. He was greatly loved all through Ben's childhood and I still put him on the bed when he comes to visit.
I always like to see Annie's photos of her flowers, so yesterday I walked around our little patch and took photos of all of ours' to make a collage. I ended up with so many that I decided to make a collage of different coloours. So here are the red ones,...
the pink ones...
and the other colours.

Oh Kate. You have so much that had me smiling today. Bleubeard understands portion control so I don't have to fill his bowl every day. Fat cat Squiggles is another story. If I left extra food out, he would have it gone in a few minutes and beg for more. Your three remind me of his morning routine, too.
That duck will be a pleasant surprise for your grand-daughter. Lively and three will keep you on your toes or the next week.
Your flowers are amazing. I planted some seeds, but I fear the extreme heat got to them before they could take off. I like how you sorted them into colors and types, too.
Have a super rest of Friday and a great next week, too.
What bright colourful flowers you have…stunning. Have a lovely time with your family.
Hugs,

Looks like you're going to be busy for a few days but you can rest up when they've gone but for now enjoy your week, I know you will. Sending hugs, Angela xXx
How precious to have your family visiting Kate. Enjoy them
Love all your flowers - you have done well to keep them flowering with only 'survival' watering allowed - I remember one year, as a child, when my parents would siphon off the bath water for the gardens!
Great to see that 'duck' has survived and is now loving the next generation :)
Your three fur babies look fabulous - that would make me smile also.
Blessings

I hope you are having a wonderful time with your visiting family.
Your flowers are absolutely gorgeous!
And your fur babies made me smile. What a welcome first thing in the morning.
I'm still giggling about removing the child from the garment before washing!
Have a fantastic weekend,
Lisca
Hope you have enjoyed having visitors and I'm sure the duckie will gave been loved whilst you had visitors. I had to smile at the photo if your cats ready to greet you in the morning.
I hope your weather is better than ours it is still very cold here in the UK.
