I'm ashamed to say most of my windows are in a similar state :( but usually the kitchen one is cleaner so I can see the birds in the garden! <br /><br />There are more and more poppies opening now - there were about 50 flowers on Sunday :)<br /><br />ShySongbird - Many thanks Jan. The only advantage of all this rain (its pouring again here yet again as I type!!) is that so many species of flower seem to be doing so well.<br /><br />I was upset about the dunnocks especially as they had survived Saturday's rain. <br /><br />Quite agree with your comments about the tennis - I think Federer is unbeatable on his day. But it was a great match and hopefully Murray will win a grand slam one day. He certainly seems to improved a lot since Lendl joined his team :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-40330000740273965242012-07-09T11:59:59.101+01:002012-07-09T11:59:59.101+01:00Hi Caroline, What a lovely post!

Your meadow has come on beautifully, no doubt helped by all the rain.<br /><br />What a shame about the Dunnocks especially after your valiant efforts to protect them.<br /><br />Talking of valiant efforts :-) I thought Andy did a great job and I think it was more a case of Federer winning it rather than Murray losing it, if that makes sense. I thought it was a most enjoyable final despite not having the outcome we were hoping for!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-53223362171288853112012-07-08T20:53:20.921+01:002012-07-08T20:53:20.921+01:00Your woodpecker is great.

The smudges were driving me nuts and I couldn't get clear pics of the hummers! So, I washed and washed:) Your garden and poppies are lovely. I like all the color and detail you've put into the area. The water is wonderful.

Before that it was just the occasional visit.<br /><br />Toffeeapple - Many thanks.
