It's my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! Oh, I'm so excited!

Oh it is so exciting. Today at 3 in the afternoon I am having a birthday party. I will not tell you how old I am as a sheep never tells his age. I have so many of my old friends coming and lots of new friends so I am looking forward very much to having a lovely party with lots of fun. If you will excuse me now I cannot write much as I am expecting Mango and  Doodle and Pearl to come and help me get Clover Cottage ready for my big  event. We have to prepare lots of tasty, healthy food for our guests and decorate the house with lots of colourful balloons. All of my vases will be filled with fresh flowers from my garden, I will give that task to Mango, he loves picking flowers and he always picks the ones with the best scent. I often find him in my garden with his nose in the flowers. You are all very welcome to my party and I look forward so much to seeing you all there. Here is a picture of Clover Cottage so that you can find it easily when you reach the other end of Wiggleway Lane. If you get lost please just ask one of the other guests that you will see walking along the lane and they will guide you to Clover Cottage. I will be waiting for you at the door to welcome you to my amazing garden and to my wonderful party. Love from Sherbet x

Kathy cat teaches Sherbet and his friends the names of all the flowers and plants

What a lovely evening Kathy cat and I had together yesterday. We shared a tasty meal, drank freshly squeezed orange juice and chatted until quite late. Kathy was up bright and early this morning, she could not wait to get into the garden and start working with the plants. Her boots got very muddy yesterday so she has changed them today. She is going to teach  Doodle, Pearl and Mango the names of all the plants and flowers in my garden as I know there are many that they see every day but they have no idea what they are called. Kathy loves flowers and plants and bushes and will be a very good teacher. I have asked Doodle, Pearl and Mango to come to my garden this afternoon and to bring notepads and pencils to write down the notes about the plants. Doodle said he would bring his sketch book too and draw the plants and put names underneath to help him remember. That is a very good idea. It reminds me of when we sometimes go on nature walks in Wiggleway Lane and do sketches of the plants with their details and we name them if we can.  We will all go for a walk in Wiggleway Lane later as Kathy loves to walk.  Kathy will also know all the names of all the bushes and trees and wild flowers we find there. How wonderful to have a friend who knows so many things that she can teach us. We love to learn lots of new things.

Fresh juice full of vitamins to keep us healthy

Today I still have the yummy memory of the tasty pie Pearl made us. I have given her lots more fresh fruit from my garden, pears from my pear tree and more apples from my apple tree and tomorrow she has invited us all to breakfast again and we will drink fresh juice full of vitamins to keep us healthy. Pearl is very wise and knows how to make very delicious, healthy meals from the fruit and vegetables in my garden. I am very lucky to have a friend like Pearl.

Breakfast was just like a dream

Oh the breakfast was just like a dream. We all appreciated Pearl's jam . She told us that she also has some preserved blackberries  that she picked from Sherbet's fence a few months ago. I also  have some ripe apples on my tree and Mango will help me to pick them.

We will take the basket of apples to Pearl as she has offered to make us a very tasty blackberry and apple pie . We are all looking forward to sharing that too. It's such fun to share food with friends!!
