Fun with Squirrels

I love squirrels.

I do have some around my garden too.

 

Advice from a Squirrel 

Look both ways when you cross the road
Plan ahead
Stay active
Eat plenty of fibre
Spend time in the woods
Go out on a limb
It’s ok to be a little nuts.

Weekly Inspiration No 27 – Take care

” Life is like a flower

If you don’t take care of it,

it will fade.”

 

I bought some reduced, dry and almost dying plants at the local DIY shop.

I wanted to nurture them and give them life again.

First they got greener with water,

then they started blooming.

 

 

Now they show me how thankful they are with many colouful blooms,

I am grateful too!

 

I enjoy them every day and take care of them.

They give me smiles every day!

 

Take care of things to enjoy!

Also take care of yourself !

Much love

from me!

Strawberry Alley

As you know I have strawberry plants in my garden

and harvested some last year.

This year however my harvest was even better.

This year I had rather big strawberries

 

and lots of them.

My harvest filled big plates like this:

and this;

 

and this:

 

all from my Strawberry Alley

you can see on the left of my garden!

They tasted wonderful! Yum Yum

 

My garden changed again

My small garden needed some more care.

After the new fence was done,

I decided to have some decking down to hide a grey concrete floor.

We worked hard to get it all done.

We made it very quick really.

but now it needed rearranging….

so I moved pots, potted new plants, and changed things around.

I am happy with this now!

You can see the left side is my “Strawberry Field”

Through an inspiration from Sartenata’s Blog,

I used some old shoes to pot plants in.

Also I made a planter from an old pallet and painted it.

Now there is parsley and mint on one side and petunias on the other.

I do love my tea cups in the garden too!

 

Here is more detail in the slideshow.

Now I can invite you in my garden

for a peaceful and happy time!

The Earth laughs

The earth really laughs in flowers,

as Ralph Waldo Emerson says –

– in my garden

 

They laugh all day long.

 

Weekly Smile #46

How fast time goes, another week gone

and I hope you smiled all the way!

My smile went bigger this week

when I saw my seeds growing finally.

I had collected seeds from different Palm trees and

Voila!

 

 

 

Hoping they grow big and strong for me

so I can put my hammock in between and relax….

 

 

Well in 15 years time perhaps…..hehe

 

 

 

The weekly smile is brought to you from Trent’s world.

Stop by and share your smile!

Holiday time

In August I went on holiday to different places for short periods.

( Mallorca- Spain and Germany)

In Mallorca the palm trees were my favourite, ( see here)

In Germany the lakes for swimming were super.

This is the dress I bought in Mallorca.

With Spanish temperatures in Bavaria I could wear it again.

Here is the proof….. I went into this lake too….

yes, I did go deeper and swam, it was so refreshing.

What a view of the blue sky …… under the shade of a tree.

 

The flowers with all the different vibrant colours always bring a spectacular show.

I also have learnt how to make the best latte or cappuccino, with frothy milk.

Yummy.

Goes really well with a slice of Black Forest Gateau.

 

Life is good!

Enjoy every moment!

I do!

Beauty of the Day

Like Sally from my beautiful things,

I was amazed by the flower display

in our little town centre just up the road from me.

At least I know where some of the money goes I pay to the council.

See for yourself:

 

 

 

A lovely display

every time I go shopping!

Very enjoyable!

 

 

Spanish Beauty

We found this Spanish flower

in Mallorca.

Google tells me: it is a Bougainvillea

and can grow here in a conservatory too!

It is fascinating with 3 dark pink leaves

and 3 white tiny blossoms inside.

What a marvel!

Sit back and enjoy!
