Today is the day

That is right....today The Brother Alan arrives. I am so looking forward to his coming to stay and celebrate my upcoming (Feb 3rd) birthday with me. Don't forget to comment on the post here if you would like to be in the drawing.
My Garden Faerie is basking in the sun and the warmer weather we are starting to have.
He moves from pot to pot and I never know where he will be next! Having friends in the garden is so nice. Our flowers are starting to need some replanting...and as the days start to stay warmer Mr H will start to revitalize the winter garden to a Spring garden. We had the appointment with the surgeon who showed us the x-rays and the new body parts.... all looking good so all restrictions have been lifted. Within reason of course. I am just glad he is back to driving.  The other morning as I went out to walk, this rather large fellow was flying about and decided to sit in the tree across from me...

He is a Cooper's Hawk around 20 inches from head to stubby tail and a 24 inch wing span. They eat small birds and small mammals. I should have a few stitch pictures this week to share. Well, I must dash off to get a few last minute things done... Thank you for your friendship and kind words and of course thank you for visiting with me. Have a great day.
