Its Sunday morning here in Cordressagagh and the only sound is the purring of the little black cat Sparkle as she sits on my chest as I type up this edition of the Mindful Gardener Newsletter. One of the things I have been mindful of in the garden this week is the sound of the birdsong and the robin that is this years fledling and has now taken up residence in the garden and absolutely loves the fat balls in the tree on which clings the rose named Compassion.
