We had to stay home to wait for a lift engineer to sort out a problem. I have just woken up after dozing in the wheelchair sitting here in the wonderful sunshine. Its still cold outside but I have been watching the leaves open out on next doors apple tree. There were just four at nine oclock this morning and at last count it was up to ten, by the weekend it will be in full leaf.XXX DonDon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-75377964036894790062016-04-20T23:31:58.685-04:002016-04-20T23:31:58.685-04:00Neat shot of the mockingbird.
