Stalking

K’s garden has acquired a new piece of art. Maya was absolutely fascinated by it this morning and spent half an hour slinking and stalking around the base of the gull’s post. Then I noticed she’d bravely crept up the side. She got to the top, came face to face with the bird and took fright…leaping off and running behind a bush. She didn’t go anywhere near it for the rest of the morning.

What antics.

Another busy active day, line trimming, weeding, transporting mulch, digging out and redistributing old compost, walking Bean and making soup.

72 years ago today my gorgeous Pirate was born. We met 25 years ago. He died 23 years ago - just 11 months after Dad. It turns out he is still the love of my life. No regrets, no sorrow. Only joy that we met and fell in love.

Life’s full of the unexpected.
