Boring The Pants Off You

Morning folks....it's cuppa and bum on a comfy sofa time....I am in "bore the pants off you" mode.  Do you remember the song "Forty Shades of Green" by the Alexander Bros...probably NOT unless you are an old wrinkly like me and NO..I don't have it in my record collection nor am I here to tell you that the colour green is going to be the next big trend in cardmaking or if it is....you heard it here first.   Have I finally lost the plot....are they waiting to cart me off in a straitjacket....NO...I am just in philosphical mood because it's a bit of a celebratory morning.....I've just had my first morning outdoor cuppa of the year ...the best time of the day when most folks are still asleep...the birds are dashing hither and thither in their daily search for food....oh yes us humans have it dead easy...a quick trip to Tesco and we're sorted...so my first job of the day is to top up the bird feeders.   Some folks say that we shouldn't feed the birds in the Spring and Summer months but they need all the help they can get when they are nesting and rearing young and up to now I haven't heard any complaints from my lot....check out this little cutie waiting for the breakfast gong....oops that trellis looks like it could be doing with a bit of a spruce up.....another job added to the never ending list of things to do....

 and the feeding frenzy begins....

But where does the green come into the scheme of things I hear you ask.....you know me...not a come to the point girl when I can waffle on about this that and the other. I am always amazed at the kaleidoscope of colours that Nature has in her palette and even before the flowers start to bloom.....there is green everywhere in every imaginable shade...I love this time of year when everything is bursting into life.....the daffs are beginning to look a bit past their best and soon will be all shrivelled up and brown but something else is guaranteed to pop up and colour our world....

Do I really have time to sit and ponder the wonders of Nature.....probably not but this is my favourite time of the day.....just ME...the Furry Boy and my feathered friends enjoying the silly o'clock peace and quiet before the cubbyhole beckons and if I can sneak in another cuppa.....well that's my idea of heaven.
But back to the crafty stuff....another card from that gorgeous Tres Chic Project Kit from Craftwork Cards....

Now that I am sufficiently topped up with coffee....it's time to take our morning stroll.....another of my favourites pastimes....me planning the day ahead and the Furry Boy.....well he's happy just sniffing and rooting around in the woods.   Catch up with you all tomorrow over at Penny Black Saturday for another fab challenge and a yummy Penny Black prize.
