❖Happy Homemaker Monday *12* ❖
Week *12*
Strange old week this week ......... the children all went back to school on Monday after a two week spring break ad then Tuesday was a back holiday for VE Day so everyone was back at home again (bonus!)
The weather:::
The weather is so up and down at the moment. One day it is hot (too hot to work in the vegetable patch for too long) and the next day it is so cold we are searching for our fleecy coats again! Most of the time it just seems to be raining. If it stops for a few minutes I rush out to poke in a few more seeds and W&M are out running around the garden until the rain starts to fall again. Everyone is complaining about the lack of growth in their vegetable patches this year.......... but I am sure it will on a couple of month until the rain is forgotten and we are all complaining about the dry cracked ground in our gardens ....... and so it goes on!This weeks forecast ......
