Rambo on the Ramparts: Sunday sunset snippets from the garden

Just before I took to the kitchen, having collapsed on the couch as I threatened in yesterday's post (not to relax but to get my head around a project proposal - keep šŸ¤ž), I took a turn around the garden.

The swallows were my first stop. A few days ago (9 to be exact šŸ™‚), I shared photos of what, we thought, was a completed swallows' nest. How wrong were we?

These photos show the extensions to that home over the last three or four days. Yes, we have had rain. There is plenty of lovely mud around.

Agapanthus buds. A harbinger of summer and Christmas.

The "famous" little thyme bush, now in full bloom.

From the ramparts, lauding it over all, like it's been his feifdom, forever:

This is how far (or how high) we have come. A happy Rambo. Settled @ The Sandbag House. It's been just on a year since we started this journey. He's an alpha male, a status he owns (even post neutering). Consequently, real integration may, quite possibly, never happen.

Supper was leftovers with salad which was the other reason for the Sunday stroll: more garden loot for the salad.

Dinner with the President

The day ended as it has not for a while, with an address to the nation. The restrictions haven't been changed. For now. We are relieved and hope it won't be short lived. I may (or not) weigh in on Omicron another time.

Until next time, have a good week and be well

      That picture of Rambo was much needed balm for my soul. So stinkin' happy to see him perched like that, knowing how he looked in the first pictures you were able to capture of him. Well done! šŸ˜»

      And now he's a portly gentleman and we need to watch how much he eats. After having been deprived for so long, he never stops... lol.

      And thank you. I think I should go through my pics and do a Rambo's first year... šŸ˜ŗ
