Sherbet is in a tree

Ahhhhh,
 I was just sitting at my kitchen table in Clover Cottage eating my breakfast porridge when I realised I would much rather be sitting in my garden feeling the soft breeze caressing my woolly coat.  The next thing I realised was that I am as free as my blackbirds and there is nothing to stop me going outside right now to sit in a tree.
SO,  hello dear friends from nearby and far far away from Sherbet Sheep sitting in a tree. I wish you were all here with me. I miss you all.
 Love Sherbetx

Mango Mouse

Dear friends ,
I just realised that I have not spoken about my dear, little, helpful friend Mango Mouse  for quite a while.
 He is still living in my garden at Clover Cottage in his red watering can and he still throws crumbs of his leftover bread and cheese onto the grass for the blackbirds.
Tomorrow on Easter Sunday I will make him a special healthy, rainbow coloured dinner full of fresh vegetables from my garden. It is no good trying to fatten him up or make him grow because he  just cannot change . He will always be little so I will just make sure that he eats healthy food and stays fit and well . Oh I have just remembered that I need to put a huge pile of cushions on my kitchen chair so that he can reach his mouse sized plate on the table. If I cannot find enough cushions I will  make a big pile with my wise words books and put a soft cushion on the top, yes maybe that is a better idea anyway, he will not wobble and fall off so easily.
 Happy Easter everyone from Sherbet Sheep, Mango Mouse, Pearl Pig and Doodle Dog.
 With love of course x

Sherbet gives thanks to Saint Francis

 Hello again dear dear friends from nearby and far far away .
 I must let you all know that I finally found my way out of the forest . I had climbed a very tall tree  to take a look inside a blackbird's nest and while I was there, even though I was a little bit entangled in the dense leaves and branches,  I was able to look way into the distance. Guess what I saw peeping out from behind a group of rolling hills?
YES, it was Clover Cottage !  Thank goodness I had finally seen which direction to walk in.
 Anyway I was very grateful to be home and to see that all was well in my garden.
 Today I  have come to visit this little statue of my favourite Saint in the whole wide world,  Saint Francis of Assisi.

. I came to give thanks to him for taking care of all the little creatures in my garden while I was away lost in the forest.
My hedgehogs, my frogs, my caterpillars, my snails and my birds are all healthy and happy and I am very grateful for that.
 Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is checking on his blackbirds

 Happy Sunday to all of my wonderful, loyal, smiley friends from nearby and far far away.
  Here I am sitting in my oak tree.  I was checking to make sure my blackbirds are warm enough in their nests.  You will be glad to know that all is well,  they are very snug , snug as a bug in rug,  so I am not worried about them anymore.  This is just a quick hello as I have promised to  have a snowball fight with Mango in 5 minutes time.  Bye for now.   I must climb down from this tree, very carefully indeed!

Sherbet is having a nice rest after cleaning Clover Cottage

I am sitting on my flowerpot today having a lovely rest because I have been a very busy Sherbet Sheep indeed.
 I have been cleaning  Clover Cottage from top to bottom.  I have been dusting my wise words books and have been sorting out lots of bits of pieces in order to make more space in my cupboards.  I am sure my spiders will be much happier now that they have more room  to make their homes. I know I am supposed to wait until Spring before doing Spring cleaning but I just wanted to do it now simply because I feel like doing it,  that's all.   I have been feeling full of energy and have been singing all around the house.  This morning I heard the blackbirds in my oak tree joining in with my songs and the frogs in my pond croaking along with me too.  Even if they were a little out of tune it is such a joy to be in harmony with nature.
I am sure I will still be singing tomorrow,  so if you have any requests please let me know.
 Love from  your friend Sherbetx

Sherbet sees a beautiful rainbow

It has been raining a lot today here at Clover Cottage.  It rained so hard at one point that I saw little rivers running through my garden. I know it made the frogs happy but my poor butterflies were hiding under the blackberry bush trying to keep dry. It has also been very windy. I was a bit afraid that my blackbirds would be blown out of their nest but when I looked up into the oak tree  there they all were safe and sound and all cuddled up together.  When the rain stopped, the sun came out and you can easily guess what I saw then. Up in the sky far far above my head  was the most beautiful rainbow I had ever seen . It seemed to spread it's rainbow coloured colours all over my garden and I watched as all the little creatures slowly peeped out from where they were sheltering and one by one they came out from their hidey holes to enjoy the rainbow with me. How lovely to share such a magnificent sight with all of my little creature friends.
After a few minutes the rainbow faded away and the earth had begun to dry a little. I decided it would be nice to try and plant some new vegetable seeds so I gathered up my basket of seeds and garden tools and sat patiently on my flowerpot waiting for the earth to become a little less sticky. I just always have to be careful because if it is too muddy I may get mud on my white woolly coat and that is just what I do not want to do as my shampoo never seems bubbly enough to get all of the mud out. I will talk to you all again soon, I am just going to have a little nap here on my flowerpot and wait for the sun to dry the earth a little more.  I am feeling really tired, my eyes are closing, it must be that my long trip home from Kathy Cat's house has worn me out!

Sherbet feels protected by angels

I had a really good night's sleep last night.
 I felt as though I was floating on clouds all night long and when I woke up I realised that the reason I slept so peacefully was because of my angel tickles yesterday. Being tickled by angels has made me feel all protected and safe, I feel all warm and snuggly inside. It feels truly wonderful.
I did wake up quite early this morning,  I woke to the delightful sound of the birds singing in my trees, a sound I love.  As I felt so blessed and protected myself,  I wanted to go into my garden and check on all of the little creatures to make sure they were all safe and happy.
 I checked on the frogs, I checked on the blackbirds, I checked on the caterpillars in my lettuce, I checked on my hedgehogs and when I saw that all was well and peaceful, I headed back to my kitchen to have my breakfast. Just as I was reaching my door, I saw a fallen leaf on the grass and on it was a tiny ladybird. I picked up the leaf and looked closely at the little insect. How pretty she was, I welcomed her to my garden and told her she could stay as long as she liked. I wondered if she was all alone in the world or if she had a family. I told her she would be safe in my garden and that  I would protect her just as the angels were protecting me.
