Beautiful pink Hyacinths from the Co op.

The Feast Day of Saint Sixtus 111. He was born in the 4th century during the time of the Roman Empire. He died August 18th 440, in Rome, during the Roman Empire.
One of his achievements was to re define the status of The Mother of Lord Jesus, using the words "The Mother of God" whereas She was before that, given the title "Mother of Christ ". In honour of Mary as Mother of God, Pope Sixtus began the construction of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four papal basilicas.

Also today, The Feast Day of Saint John of Capistrano. 1400s. A famous preacher. He died from plague in 1456.

The sunshine and cold temperature are with us and the birds are singing.
The cats have been chasing insects in the garden.
I put some washing on the clothes line, and it is drying in the sun warmth.

Paul went to The Range for seed and mealworms as we required these things. He also purchased a Discovery Apple tree. It has to be soaked for one hour in water before being planted. It will be in a giant size flowerpot, a sturdy grey planter, not in the ground, as we suffer from waterlogging, in times of heavy rainfall. I am hoping the tree blesses us in a few years, with good apples.

I hope you are enjoying a decent Friday. Take care and thank you blip friends for the stars yesterday.
