Roses

I am not much of a gardener, horrible hay fever gets in the way, but I have two very old rose bushes. They survive by their own skills but these are the blooms Gorgeous Girl picked. They are beautiful, and smell divine!

Random Photos of Spring

I love Spring. My poor sad neglected garden manages to ignore my pathetic attempts and put on a show. Here are some photos...

The kids pansies..all named..for some reason...with very pansy kind of names like Yoda, and Obi-wan, Thomas and Portia (??!!)


A Euphorbia (I think) that lives in the pots out the front of our house. Hardy little souls..I like them!!


The climbing rose that ventures from the next door neighbours place. My hubby hates it as it prickles him as he mows...he prunes it severely..it climbs on back..another survivor!!

My favourite picture of all...

Kids at work! Actually Gorgeous Girl has really gotten into being a vegetable grower, which I heartily endorse as it doesn't involve an electronic screen. And hopefully we will have lots of lovely vegies in the summer. So they've been busy filling up a above ground garden bed we've bought..lots of fun in very dirty dirt! And why the pirate hat...one of life's mysteries....

A moment of whimsy??

Do you think God was having a moment of whimsy when he designed these flowers.......?

I think they are absolutely amazing with those tendrils at the edges, the middle with it's purple spots and it's little propeller on the front...

I don't have much exciting news, although I am off on a quilting weekend in 10 days or so...my yearly get-away with a great friend, on which we sew, eat and laugh. I'm looking forward to it immensely but am spending at lot of time wondering what I should take. So much stuff in my sewing cupboard!!
Anyway, hope you're having a good week!
