Morning all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Monday is a grand day as it is my blogging day and I try to set it aside to catch up with everyone and do my blog posts for the week. We had a great weekend and the weather was amazing. Today is a bit dismal and windy so its great to be here in blogland and seeing every one's fall decor in the Northern Hemisphere. It fascinates me how we are in spring you some of you are doing gorgeous fall decor. Just goes to show, here in blogland we can have the best of both worlds!!
A while back I did a post on my Queen of the Night which smells just heavenly and about the weaver who was building a nest. You can catch up on it here to see how the nest started.
Some of you asked for an update on Weaver's antics and to show you the completed nest.

Busily stripping the palms for building material and looking rather fierce at my photographic interruption!
It is truly amazing how nimbly they weave with their beaks and how fast! I can watch them for hours and of course the singing and chirping is a delight! Although when there are a few together building the decibels can become unbearable as Smirnoff the Labrador will be quick to point out!
Finally, A completed nest that seems to meet with the approval of the Missus! She is a feisty creature and had ripped poor Mr. Weaver's grand construction to shreds a few times!!! This time she seems pleased and I missed her inspection but since it has been dangling there for a week and I have seen her in and out, so I take it, that this will be the new nursery in the garden!
Construction start to finish!
As you can see below they like to build all the nests in the same tree close together as seen here on a farm, so I am quite lucky to have a single nest in my garden!
Loads of blooms in the garden at the moment...
The most prolific rose in my garden is Dream Yellow. It seems to be in constant bud or bloom nearly all year round including almost all the way through winter and each year when I eventually decide to prune it, it usually still has flowers on! It was a gift from my children for Mother's Day many moons ago!
Smirnoff has been taking a daily swim as is his custom since his first swim of the season (click here)
