Getting ready for visits from the UK. Zant, James and Oliver arrive in November for a week visit.
We (hubby and I) haven't seen the boys in a few years and I can't wait to see them again. James is a very lively, curious, confident little boy who had us all in stitches last time he was here and Ollie was but a baby, so am looking forward to trying to get a grip on his new personality.
Then in December Brian, Dieds, Keegan and Kaylyn come for Christmas.
Dieds and the kids left last year, so it will be a year and a half since I have seen them. I am so excited to see how my nephew has grown. The photos show a changed and maturing young man. I miss them all every day and am so looking forward to these visits and will cram as much as possible into every single day.
Next month we will be married 9 years. Seems short to some, but to me it seems like a life time. In a good way.
Sometimes wonder how very different my life would have been had this wonderful man not happened into my life.
So much to be grateful for.
Summer is here. The garden has turned into a paradise of greenery and bird life.
Will have to take some photos and post them soon.
Plus, I did my first abstract painting, and it was a hit. Cheryldene and Ricky have them (a pair) hanging on their wall in the lounge of their very first home.
Cheryldene (Bean) is happy, and while I miss her, I am happy that my baby is out in the world and happy. More - she is coping, and that is great. For both of us.

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!
