Luna, taking a break from supervising the gardening chores. He photo bombed almost everything I shot today. : ) He's a pensioner and he's almost completely deaf but he's still got it. Taken in front of the summer house where his kitten years were spent before it was converted to a summer retreat.

I have two flower boxes on my window sill, where I planted some bulbs the other day. So far, the flowers haven't come out, but these two tiny mushrooms did - they are only about an inch tall :-)

This lovely old brick-built cottage in Cossington, Leicestershire is a listed 18th and early 19th century building.
I just love the curved features on the windows and doorway and that 10 foot high solid brick wall on the left!

After watering the only surviving succulent (echeveria) in my windowbox outside of my she-shack. :o)
Not the best picture in the world. I was checking my camera before going off to a wedding when I spotted this Robin stealing the berries from my wife's freshly made window boxes. Pity I missed the beak but it flew off after this shot.

Following on from the previous upload, one of the pink miniature roses in the window box. Taken when the sun wasn’t quite so bright.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Yes - I am very much looking forward to turning the page on my calendar. It has been a very long cold winter.

Happy Fence Friday! We saw this charmer yesterday as we walked around Kitsilano. The house to which it belongs had about eight billion roses in bloom, and we stopped to smell some of them. So beautiful!
The romantic castle is perched on the highest of the seven Bamberg hills and commands a superb view of the city. It was first documented in 1109. Between 1305 and 1553 the original stronghold once used as a place of refuge became the residence of the prince-bishops of Bamberg. After its destruction in the 16th century, it was rebuilt in a makeshift fashion, but served only as a prison and fell increasingly into disrepair. In 1801 it was bought by A.F. Marcus, a Bamberg doctor, and completely restored. His friend E.T.A. Hoffmann was so enchanted by the castle that he stayed there for longer periods of time. Today Altenburg Castle houses a restaurant. The outside complex with a wonderful view over Bamberg can be visited during the opening times of the restaurant.
I reckon there must be a reason that this door has not been repainted in years, I first photographed it in 2010. Looks like there could have been a fire, hope I'm wrong.

Another building for today with a unique design for a bank.
While we haven't been able to refine the date range significantly, there's a suggestion that the lady tending the window boxes (yes - there she is over the door on the flat roof) is a member of the household of William Charles Smith, who was manager of the branch in the early 20th century. We also learn that the building's Art Nouveau architecture was possibly designed by W.H. Byrne or Godfrey William Ferguson, and dates to c.1905 (plus or minus a few years)...

Spring is a season full of floral abundance. To celebrate, I filled my window box with pansies! Happy first day of spring everyone!

Supplies:
1 aluminum gutter
2 gutter caps
8 sheet metal screws
1 tube of silicon caulk
Tools:
drill (w/ drill bit)
caulking gun
1.25 steel snips

The biggest pain for this lil project is cutting the aluminum gutter in the parking lot to fit it in your car. You might want to bring/buy some leather gloves so you don't cut yourself. Also, remember to bring your measurements and a measuring tape. If you don't have a pair of snips, you can buy them in the store. I bought my supplies from home depot, but i'm sure lowe's or ace hardware sell gutters as well. Home depot keeps the gutter caps in boxes right beneath the gutters. Be sure to get both the left sided and right sided caps.
If you make one of your own, please post a pic. I'd love to see it.

Update:
Since I planted succulents, I figured I would just spray them a lil from time to time and not have to worry about drainage. But I got lazy and started watering them, and wasn't keeping track of how often, resulting in saturated roots and very unhappy plants.
If you make this planter, I'd recommend following @jessbruder's improvement by layering some gravel at the bottom, before adding dirt and drilling a hole at the bottom of one of the sides to attach a hose for drainage.
Worked from home today and went for my graded exercise therapy session mid-morning. Still feeling buggy and nauseous today, so glad to be at home. Mostly dry this morning, but the rain set in this afternoon - and properly hammered it down about the time that Tim set off on his bike from Canary Wharf. He was somewhat soggy when he got home!
