Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

@Zoe7the garden looks great hun. Love the photo of Toby sitting on his throne!!

Re: Am Not Coping

haha - I'm surprised he actually stayed there @Snowie lol  Sit and stay he does pretty well unless there is someone to chase to get attention. Then he won't do either Smiley Frustrated

Re: Am Not Coping

Loving your garden pics @Zoe7. Looks like you have some cosy little areas to hang out in. 

Re: Am Not Coping

Your garden is beautiful @Zoe7 

yes don’t forget to water especially now the weather is getting warmer. 

We are in for a storm and rain tonight. 

Re: Am Not Coping

All he needs now is a little crown @Zoe7Smiley Tongue

Well he did a good job of sitting and staying. You certainly have been busy hun. Well done on achieving so much.

Re: Am Not Coping

Great to see you embracing uni @Faith-and-Hope. How long is your course? Hope things are well with the rest of the family. How are they coping with the end of semester pressures?

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @BlueBay @soul My garden is my little paradise and I really enjoy being in it when I can. Eventually I can get a few more ferns in the corner - I often sit in there as it is so peaceful. Toby likes to sit on the chair under the arch and yes @Snowie he just needs a crown now lol

The next big job is to do the other side of the garden with the edging and begin to get plants in there. I am going to build a barbecue area there too but there is a tree that needs to be removed first - I hate the thought of taking out a tree but it is growing too close to the underground pipes and needs to come out. That ill be a big job to get it out and also stay away from the pipes - not a job that I can do by myself.

Re: Am Not Coping

It sounds perfect @Zoe7. A little refuge from the stuff that makes you anxious. My garden is pretty ordinary but I do take delight in seeing the beauty around me as I walk through the local streets and further afield.

Re: Am Not Coping

I love being out there with Toby and sometimes Cat comes out to join us @soul My little world seems to be a bit brighter when I am in the garden with my fur babies. I do have to be more careful in the Sun now though as one of the side effects of one of my meds is photosensitivity and it affects me straight away - my skin swells and itches and burns very easily. Sunscreen slows it up a little but not altogether. That is why I love sitting in the corner under the shade of the trees.
