Miss Maggie running in for supper (she never misses a meal).

 I don't know if Ginger$nap! is just checking on Miss Maggie's meal, but the same process happens four times a day.

 Yes that's snow!! It's May 5th, we shouldn't need the heat on in the house. On this day last year it was almost 30ºC, today 3ºC!

 Miss Maggie!

 A pair of Grey Partridges in the garden.

 First flower of the year - Glory of the Snow.

 Stubble burning.

 It's always nice when something works well - binding a t-shirt dress.

The little bit of snow this morning didn't last.

 

 There goes the Google Maps car! There is only one street view for here on Google Maps, and it is dated June 2014. It looks much different than now. Not the best photo - maybe that is my new theme!

 Start of a new project - more tea towels (yesterday's dress is finished).

 Live stream sew along today with Tailor Academy. Almost seven hours sewing a dress, I still have to sew buttonholes, buttons and some belt loops. It was lots of fun, and I learned a lot - first time sewing a collar. There was about 1000 people sewing along, from all over the world (luckily it was a good time of the day for me, for the instructors it was the middle of the night in Austria).

 Another hard to see photo, but there is an Eagle in the distance flying away, between the trees.

 A pair of Mallards swimming in a puddle.

Molly and Miss Maggie enjoying another beautiful, warm day (only small areas of snow left).

 

 This sight greeted me when I went outside - Molly waiting for her ball to be thrown, the trouble is she leaves it somewhere and we have to find it!

 Someone came to tell me she felt it was lunchtime while I was transplanting seedlings - she was 45 minutes early but waited there as patiently as she could until noon.

 Miss Maggie was running away from the chickens, hissing as she went. Two of the young, curious, hens had already run up to her, and she didn't like it.

 It's amazing how much snow melted this week.
