A few random photo's of the garden, oh also one of our dog Toby scratching his back on my standard gardenia, its nice to know that the plants aren't just pretty but also useful for reaching those hard to reach places 'hehehe'. Carol
First time jitters, this weekend will be my daughter and my very first market stall. We have both been busy making, painting, glueing, drilling and gathering all we can to try make it a success, but from what we have been told you can't forsee what the day will be like.
Weather will play a big part, so here's hoping the sun shines for us. I'll take some photo's and post them next week. Until then , Carol

Sunset, protea and bromiliads

Late afternoon in autumn what a lovely time to enjoy the garden. Sitting outside with a cup of coffee watching the sun go down behind the trees, can't think of any place I would rather be.
The garden has the ability to give me such contentment that is hard to find.

Don't you just love this time of year!




The mornings are crisp, there's dew on the ground and the trees just beginning to show the first signs of autumn. It won't be long before many of the trees are bare, it's wonderful following the changing seasons by watching what is happening in the garden.

Just a few photos of the crafts my daughter and I have been making. A couple of picture we painted and a memory board, there is a few more crafts we dabble in I'll post pictures when I have them.
Added a couple of garden photos as well. bye for now carol.
Hi I don't know how but with every new post I seem to make a mistake, last time I somehow ended up with two lots of the same photos. Oh well it will remain a mistery unless someone out there can tell me how to delete some of the pictures.























































SSHHH! The fairies are out, so I have quickly taken some pictures. My grandchildren spend a lot of their time in the fairy garden, Their imaginations just run wild, its nice to see that they can go outside and be entertained for hours by the simple things in life. For instance they spent a day playing with tadpoles in containers and butterfly cocoons the other day. It makes all the hard work in the garden worth it I'am sure they would agree.

This terracotta possum hangs under our awning, just helps to add a little qirkiness to the place!
That's Easter over for another year. A lovely time was had by all especially the grandchildren, I think they're just happy to get together and play, and the weather was perfect, unusual it generally rains.
A few snaps of the garden before the cold weather
