Today




Tuesday. Sun is shining brightly out there. How strange we arrange our lives, we are inside all day, while the day passes us by outside the window.

My favourite times are always spent "playing" in the garden. Just nothing compares to the feeling when you've got sore fingers and achy muscles and mud streaked body parts. Look around and all these beautiful bright wonders abound. I love to see the first flower on any plant. I love to see the rose bushes bursting like they are today. Will post a picture tomorrow of just how stunning they are at the moment.

Favourite smells, the very first rain of the season, and the first time the jasmine smell comes floating up onto the balcony from the profusion of bushes in the walkway.

Almost three o'clock - think its time to sneak out - dead head roses, do he treadmill thing for 40 minutes and then time to shower before going out, sound like a plan?

I am lucky enough to have a huge wonderful, multi layered garden, with which I have made various 'project area's'.

I have had great fun and many hours of pleasure putting this wonderland together. Children are always facinated and many an adult has been enchanted by all the little goodies that are hidden and not so hidden all over the place.

In each project area there is a variation of features.
In some areas there are multiple steel goodies, in others painted ceramics, (only collaged my favourites below), and there are statues in lots of places.

I have a special fairy garden, with lots of big and small fairies and fairy houses hidden in trees and all over that particular section.

My newest and latest addition is the wishing well that has just been erected (after standing lopsided for over two years - battled to get hubby motivted enough to get it put up) Its up and its wonderful!
