Enjoying being outdoors

The glorious weather continues. We have a mix of clouds and blue sky but it’s so warm that we have the French windows open to the garden all day and just wander in and out; it’s like the garden is an extra room. A room full of birds and squirrels. And a hammock. And two very companionable cats. When Gerry and Janis were here on Saturday evening, we sat outside to have a drink and Tom and Floof joined us, sitting side by side and licking each other’s faces! James has been working in the garden and also weeding and pruning in Grandma’s front garden. She sat outside and enjoyed supervising him. I’m afraid that my own gardening career hasn’t progressed much although I am conscientious about watering my hanging basket which is looking magnificent, and today I sat on the front steps and deadheaded my two tubs of marguerite daisies.
