Blogtober Day 23: We All Need A Wee Bit Of Help At Times...

Hi Honeys, 

How has your day been today?  It's so chilly again. Our furbaby Jade is napping in front of the fire in her furry doughnut shaped bed, bless her and her Dad is dropping off to sleep in his armchair while watching TV.πŸ’–  

Me, I'm sitting on the sofa fighting a losing battle to stay awake too.😊  It seems to be the norm for me recently.  To be fair, I'm not sleeping much (damp, cold weather + arthritis = ouchie.) We're running into winter honeys, maybe it's the darker nights that make us all a little more sleepy? 

Having wandered into the bathroom with some items that needed tidied away, I spotted this wee chap who was definitely not having his best day. 

Warning! If you're not a spider fan, look away now! (although he was only tiny and quite cute I thought)

We all need a little help at times...

He had somehow gotten himself trapped in the sink and kept trying to walk up the side to escape and would then slide back down into the sink again.  I felt for him, I've had whole days (and weeks) that felt like that.  So, I fetched some loo roll and lay it in the sink, then laying across the edge and down out of the sink onto the top of the lidded storage box at the side of the sink.  I then told the spider to use the paper to walk on and left him to it.  

I checked on him a little later and he was no where to be seen.  We all have our place in the scheme of things I think honeys and if we're given a chance to help another wee creature, well, how wonderful that we were chosen to be there at the right time?    

Our garden guests need help too 


The trees still have (some) leaves right now but it won't be long till it'll start to become more difficult for our garden guests to find food honeys.  That's why garden feeders are so vital. Winter is more difficult for them because not only is it much harder to find food but they also have to stay warm against the cold too.  This is why they'll try to eat as much as they can in the autumn months, to increase their weight to help insulate themselves against the cold.

I look forward to seeing our feathery (and furry) visitors every day around their feeders on the tree and in the spring of course we have babies visiting too.πŸ’–       
 
Looking after our garden guests in winter is such a vital thing to do, they need a wee bit of help when food isn't so easy to find.

Our furbaby Jade is still determined to make friends with our visiting squirrel, bless her.  She just doesn't understand why the squirrel won't come down off the tree to play with her.πŸ’–  If you'd like to read about Jade's adventure with her squirrel friend (it's too adorable😍) you can read it here honeys.

A really easy way to help your feathery garden guests is to make some DIY fat shapes...

It's so easy to make DIY fat shapes, they only have two ingredients and can be put outside in the garden (up, out of danger)

They only have two ingredients honeys, and I use silicone baking moulds to set them in to make them pretty as well πŸ’—  If you'd like to make some for your garden guests, you can find out how here. 

How has your week been honeys? Do you look forward to seeing your garden visitors?  I hope you're having the best weekend dear ones, till next time, hugs always x

Huggles always, Rosie xx
