Ooooooops !!!!

I spotted this in Blogtopia and thought you might like it. I love the way the others all rush to the edge to see what happens to them, apart from the one who can't be bothered, but is interested enough to crane his neck !!

Here's hoping that the pair that were fighting, ended up here !!

This is the sort of weather that we have been experiencing for too many days now ..... Oh well .....

HA HA !!!!!

Have a great week and don't forget to wet your plants !!
