We've always loved exploring new places, thanks for giving us a peak at something we've never seen up close before. And 62* sounds pretty good to me, if I lived over there I'd have to always read the temp in F*, not C*, the Celsius sounds too cold!<br /><br />We watched a movie this weekend about Scotland, or I should say, about the Stone of Destiny from Scotland. We loved it, and now want to learn more, why this stone is very important. AND, one of the actresses mentioned the "crofters" and thankfully because of you, I knew what she meant!

All our plants have to be protected, and double protected, against the almost-constant wind, but if the plant is a taller one, then we have little chance of it surviving...<br /><br />The moor was quite different to what it'll be like later in summer - no purple just now, so it does look rather dull... though none of us felt 'dull' out there on Saturday. It was wonderful!<br /><br />And Farmchick - what's the straw bale gardening? Is that when you just place seed into straw bales rather than into soil? I'd be fascinated to find out.<br /><br />Thank you all for commenting... makes my day to know that I really amn't just talking into cyberspace ;)Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-63325960421386041192011-04-11T06:17:41.692+01:002011-04-11T06:17:41.692+01:00What a lovely day - it's coming into real autu...What a lovely day - it's coming into real autumn weather here - we're getting down to 13 at nights now (celcius). <br />Lovely to see your pictures - your puppy is just adorable & I always love seeing the farmland right up to the ocean - just beautiful! <br />Hope you are going well - I've been away, but it's lovely to catch up on your news now!<br />blessings<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-55864939454634054792011-04-11T03:09:17.697+01:002011-04-11T03:09:17.697+01:00wow, the puppy is already bigger. i missed out on...wow, the puppy is already bigger. i missed out on what you named him, i'll have to go back and look. <br /><br />love all the pics!! the horns on the daddy ram are amazing! <br /><br />God bless~mountain mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964351298726937025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-40307311077804150752011-04-10T07:36:58.030+01:002011-04-10T07:36:58.030+01:0017 degrees?

That's almost positively Polar to me - well not that cold but today in Autumn the temperature monitor on our dashboard was reading 33 degrees, as we headed home towards the coast, just 5 minutes later, it dropped to 26 c. The air conditioning needed to be turned on at church as we all started to bake mid sermon!<br />Loved seeing your pictures of a place to which I have a connection - I don't hear from my cousin very often but it's lovely to hear what's happening on the island. I know she will be happy that spring has arrived too.Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-78233110709026333352011-04-10T05:06:25.982+01:002011-04-10T05:06:25.982+01:00"Positively Mediterranean" - how funny!
..."Positively Mediterranean" - how funny!<br /><br />With your peas - is it too cold there to grow them outdoors? Around here, people plant them really early in the spring, saying that peas like the cold weather. Even our frosts don't kill them. For some reason though, we have not had good success with peas since we've moved back here...which is a shame because, not only do I love eating fresh peas, I also LOVE shelling them. I think shelling peas is perhaps my favorite garden chore. :)<br /><br />So, if "them Americans," come to visit, should we bring our extra-tall boots?? ;-)Davene Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036284894596672798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-80356008304884478552011-04-10T02:00:50.292+01:002011-04-10T02:00:50.292+01:00Wonderful pictures so beautiful thanks for taking ...Wonderful pictures so beautiful thanks for taking us along ~How fun to be starting your garden!

It was in the high 50s on the coast of Maine today...I wanted to go barefoot! I cleaned out my little greenhouse too...we need to replastic ours because the winter weather took its toll. Hope to do that on Monday and have my seedlings going early next week! Don't you just love spring!<br /><br />Have a blessed evening,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803113715498282796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-82766196234774066972011-04-09T21:34:45.133+01:002011-04-09T21:34:45.133+01:00Hi Anne,

Wind is still blowing here like crazy, but I think if it would stop we might have some 80 degree weather. Puppy is a cutie, and Mr. Wayne looks as good as ever.
