Happy Easter and little things from my garden

 I bought this lovely Angel many years ago and she has weathered beautifully.
She hangs on a trellis amongst the pretty Boston Ivy. The ivy is just starting to turn into its beautiful Autumn coppery tones. In spring it turns a lovely coppery red.

A day of rest today. Good Friday a day to reflect and while away a few hours.

 Happy Easter dear friends

Enjoy

Pretty china and roses

                    ሮ  ሮሰRoses are one of my favourite flowers,but alas they are nearing the end of their Summer .

But no matter I can still enjoy roses in other forms. On my mismatched china, a pretty pair of rubber gloves or a pretty bowl of silk ones that still bring a pretty pastel, delicate blush to my home.

ስ አረ ኦንር ኦፍ ምይ ፋቭትሄ ሮሰስ አረ ነአርልይ ረአድይ ቶ ረስት። ትሄ ሱን እስ ግራዷልልይ ማክንግ እፅ ዋይ እንቶ አዑቱምን አጥ ላስት። እ አም ሶ ኦቨር ትሄ ሀአት ትህስ የአር። ኦዑር ሮሰስ ሃድ አ ሎቨልይ ፊርስት ፍሉሽ፣ቡት ሃቭኤ ስሎውልይ ድምንስሄድ። በቻዑሰ እ ሎቭኤ ሞስት ትህንግስ ፍሎራል፣እ ጫን ስትልል ፍንድ ፕለአሱረ እን ፍሎወርስ እንስደ። ፕሬትትይ ፍሎራል ቺና ኖ ማትተር ማቺንግ ኦር ኖብርንግስ መ ፕለአሱረ። 

The last of the roses picked and put into a pretty vase 

Silk not a bad substute I think

On our morning walk around the river

 I can't believe what we saw on our morning walk round the river today.
Vandals had destroyed some of the lovely trees. Tore them out and dragged them a distance away.
Whatever makes them do such a thing.

We see so many pretty trees and birds on our walks. All the wattle is out in bloom and there were a flutter of beautiful little parrots nesting in them. They unfortunately move to quickly for me to get a photo.

This pretty yellow bush came up in the garden,but we didn't plant it. The birds must have dropped the seeds. It now has lots of little purple berries on it. Not sure what it is.

'Well time to go,have a lovely week. Until next time. Xx jeanette ann 

Just a few pics

Good Morning dear blogger friends.

Well we are into Autumn now but doesn't feel a bit like it.
Woke up to the weather forcast 35% c whow. Too hot for Autumn hey.

This is the view from our sunroom window. My little reading spot.

The blood plant is climbing up the fushia tree which is in bud again after a little trim.


Another little spot for a quiet cup of my favourite Rooibos tea

And my little sparkly bunny getting ready for Easter.

I have been playing in the sewing room too as it was a little too warm to be out in the garden.
These are a few of what I made.

I sell my little dresses in my Etsy shop etsy.com/shop/jeanetteodonnell

I can't wait to see what you have all been up to
Until next time

Summer over

Our Summer seems to have gone on forever this year. Still quite hot and humid even though we just started Autumn,my favourite time of year.
The garden has suffered with the roses not producing as much in their second flush. The first flush was pretty though.
Things I didn't plant have popped up too. I think it's probably the little honey eater who comes every meal time to drink the nectar from the hibiscus every day. He must poop the seeds I think.LOL
We have 4 fruit on the Dragon fruit this year which follows the pretty flowers I showed in my last post

the little yellow 

 flowers are so pretty. I collected the seeds on my morning 

walk.

I don't know the name of them as I just scattered the seeds and they come up every year. 

Some come 

out pink and others white.

They open their flowers late afternoon and close them after breakfast.

 They don't like the sun obviously. 

                                      The red plant is so good in the garden. Grows so easily

              The Hydrangeas have been beautiful but have now finished.

 

This little blue pot near our front door is always so pretty. Pansies in Winter and these petunias in Summer. I always have to stop and admire them before entering the house.

                                            This is my little tea cup bird feeder So love it

                 I love statues in the garden and I am always on the hunt for bargains

               This tomato plant came up from seeds I threw out with the washing up water. They always      do better than the tomato plants I buy.

                                               The blood red plant is growing up the Fushia tree

                                                This pretty native is Little Polly and I have 2

 The pink and yellow Hibiscus actually grow on the same bush and it's my favourite. I took a cutting from it last year and it's now another big bush.

                                     The lovely pink native Hibiscus is another favourite

                                                              Sweet Memories

                                                             The start of Dragon fruit

                                                       And one nearly ripe Yummy

Well if you've made it to the end of my many pics, have a happy week and happy blogging. I'm going to have a browse to some of your blogs to get more inspiration
