Lloyd went into work late this morning. Sam woke up at 4:30 am and rolled over to me upset because Daddy was gone! I looked over (unaware of the time) and saw Lloyd lying there sleeping so reassured Sam that Daddy was still there.
Lloyd and I had coffee together before he left - which is always nice.
Laurie stayed home today - he says his body aches from all the running yesterday, but I think he just needed a day off...so he is home with us and thats fine :) He is sleeping at his friends house tonight - camping in the yard as the weather is so good although they say we may get a small thunderstorm tonight!
I went out to let the chickens out this morning and collected the eggs...7 eggs still warm...very fresh :) now the chicken coop is clean again after the winter its a pleasure to go in and get the eggs....Charlie was out and about walking around the place....she came over to see the chickens and see what was going on......she seems to think the paddling pool is her new water bowl...so the sides need to go up a little higher!!!
I walked down to the pond to get some pictures of the ducks..but the male flew off....I couldn't see the female which makes me wonder if she is incubating her eggs......I walked back to the house and will leave them alone as I would hate them to leave.
I haven't seen the Hummingbirds this morning...late last night I cleaned all the feeders out and put fresh sugar syrup in them...they were all back out before we went to bed but so far I haven't spotted any there....
Abby and Sam have been playing playdough and now are outside playing in the pool....Laurie is sat watching them and as soon as I post this I will go outside too.
The kettle is on - I wonder if Laurie is making tea!
I wanted to add some pictures of last years hummingbirds, but to do that I need to figure out how to use the prtable hard drive...wish me luck!
