Naughty slugs

You know dear friends , I love to grow vegetables in my garden and of course I do not spray any nasty things on them to keep the insects and caterpillars and slugs  away as I only eat pure food. Just lately there has been lots of rain at Clover Cottage. I do love the rain as it makes everything lovely and green and I do not have to worry about watering my plants. I must tell you though that after it has rained all night long,  the naughty slugs that usually hide away in their secret homes, love to come out from hiding when I am not looking and chew up all of my newly grown salad leaves. Oh dear, Oh dear . I do not know what to do because I love all the little creatures in my garden and am happy to feed them but I also need something to put in my very own salad bowl !!

A visit to Doodle's art studio

Today Pearl, Mango and I visited Doodle in his art studio. It was so exciting. He has so many interesting things to see there. He has tadpoles in a jar, painted stones, a book about frogs and a book about painting. The thing we loved best of all though was that he showed us how to paint a big pot. He said we should use our imagination and that there were no rules and we could paint anything we liked on it. Doodle painted big insects on his pot, I painted big spots on my pot, Pearl painted flowers on her pot and  Mango painted leaves on his pot. It was so much fun and we were all very proud of our lovely colourful pots . Doodle said we should all keep them in my garden and grow flowers in them.  We all thought that was a great idea. I am so proud to have a wonderful, creative friend like Doodle.
