Today was supposed to be a sort of fine/showery day and so we didn't plan on going anywhere. As I'm beginning to realise - Mickey needs to be doing something. He's not a sit down and do nothing type of guy. I need quiet days or else I get all distressed etc, so I made today a day of sort of rest. Meanwhile Mickey discovered more gardening tools and decided to clear a path through my shrubbery.................

Mickey has cut away the start of a path through the shrubbery

He's made it all lovely and interesting again. There used to be quite a few paths down through the garden and he's found a few of them...................

Then he decided to cut my grass - good lad................

My new gardener trying to cut the grass

Not before I took some pictures though of a lovely colourful plant which was residing in the middle of the grass.................

Beautiful vetch growing in the grass

I think it's purple vetch and despite it being a weed, it's still very pretty. I also noticed that there were lots of tiny rambling roses out............

They are tiny but gorgeous

This rambling rose is all over the place

A gorgeous little rambling rose

This is so pretty and being a rambler I seem to expect a sort of openess of the petals but this is formed like a perfect little rose..............

I also have some of those gorgeous little blue flowers growing up in the flower bed................

Another lovely blue wildflower

Also there are lots of tiny apples forming in the apple tree. Boy am I going to be having lots of apple pies etc in the winter time..............

Soon to have apple pies

Some small apples are appearing

So you see - things are looking lovely and rosy. It's lovely having Mickey here and as long as he's having fun, that's all that matters and if he says any different, like I lock him outside until he's done all the chores isn't true. Although that can be arranged if he likes................. LOL
