P.S.

Dearest Ruby,
        Well Ruby, we are coming to the end of our colourful gardening season. We are still going to continue to have so much fun in your garden as we welcome new seasons in and come up with fresh ideas. A garden never stands still and neither will we!

        It's not really a 'Goodbye' because we have shown just how much joy your garden can bring and all that we do besides. One day I will give you this record of our times shared together in the Spring and Summer of 2014. I expect your little garden will be unrecognizable in years to come as you will grow with it, and it will adapt to grow your favourite flowers and other shrubs will become established. I hope you will hold some precious memories and go on to enjoy your own creative and fun ideas.
        I won't be far behind though, encouraging you and helping you, with all those little tasks and following through with your artistic flare. We will have such fun together.
        I hope you enjoy reading all your 'Letters from Nana' in this blog, and seeing the pictures of when you were small.

This will help you remember.

Feed the Birds

Dearest Ruby,
         It's late summer now, approaching Autumn, but still with plenty of sunshine around.

There isn't so much to do out in your garden. We've been deadheading the Cosmos to keep it flowering as long as possible and the 'Ruby Rose' too.

         So, our attention has turned to looking out for the birds !

 

I found I have some bird seed...

You took some in your hand but you couldn't reach the feeder to put it in the saucer.

 



 

So you put the seed on the lid of the box instead.

 

Then I tipped it onto the saucer.

 

There we are!

We'll add a fat ball when the days get colder because really there is plenty of insects and autumn berries for them still to eat from the garden.

They will get to know it's there though.

 

Indoors we have made a pudding for your tea, Chocolate Crackolat, a good old family favourite.

 

 

Umm! Well done Ruby... one of your first attempts to feed yourself unaided. Look at Grandad sitting back so relaxed.

 

It takes some concentration...

 

to keep it on the spoon.

 

 

Pop it in....

 

...and come back for more,

 because that's a big pudding to get through.

I'll help you eat it, but I think some will find it's way home for you to guzzle later.

 

 

Love and hugs,    Nana x
