Four dead swallows and some baby hedgehogs

Life in the countryside is not always as peaceful as you want...... We had a swallow nest in the barn.
Suddenly we realized that they did not make noise anymore.  When we looked inside the nest we found out that hey were all four dead, two of them did not have a head anymore........
 This could not be the cat, impossible.   We think maybe it was a rat or a marten.   The parents were already gone. This did not happened before......we hope they will come back next spring!
When i made this picture they were still alive.....

I showed you the large hedgehog that i saw near the house. Some days later we found at least three baby hedgehogs. In the beginning they only were active in the evening , Rosa our black labrador is very curious. 

These last days you can see them walking the whole day, did you know that they walk rather quick? 

Yesterday one came on the terrace while we were drinking our glass of wine.  He /she walked around the terrace and then went away.IT was wonderful !

Some more rose pictures, they are so beautiful.

And did not I craft these last weeks? Yes i did but i did not take pictures yet. We had visitors, lots of appointments and the gardenwork.........

Be sure that i will come back with some crafting.

More garden pictures

I am so busy working in my garden , there is not much time to craft. After the market I always am tired , then I got the flu and i was in Paris for one day to meet her.

I am re arranging  my garden, last year the garden has been abandoned a bit by me . So this year i cut a lot of plants and make more path.  I lay cardboard on the new path with black plastic  on it. For the moment it's quite ugly but after a year or so the the soil will be clean . It's quite a job that I started but I hope that this year i will have a well kept garden, with a lot of black plastic but clean.....

I still have my fathers flowers.....
