This Week

I've  got my ipod on as I write this post, occasionally I have to stop and play the piano along with Jackson Browne, or sing along with Van Morrison and Rod Stewart and other favourites I also play drums!

So bear with me, we may take a while!!

We have been very busy this past week:

The fish are finally back in their home! They are so so happy again!

Flowers are starting to bud up for the cooler weather

This gorgeous little orchid raised it's head and smiled!

This coleus is so gleaming red! Of course you can't see the weeds can you?

I've been doing some sewing - I am making 5 of my gypsy bags for daughters and grand daughters!

See the bag under the pillow? It's FULL of scraps!! I told you I had a lot! ( and there's still more - but i'm not showing!!) 

I'm making a pillow cover  out of these spare parts

the bags are all assembled for the outside, now i do need to buy some metres for the linings - I was going to scrap it all but I just don't have time, I don't think.

Saturday Snapshots

Welcome back to Saturday Snapshots. Glad to see you!

Well, we have had a very exciting day today - the fishpond has been leaking, so we finally got around to removing all the bits, and our friend lifted out all fountain, and we will paint it with waterproof paint, hopefully tomorrow.

the tank/fountain all taken apart.   What fun it was catching all the fish!

This is where our poor babies have to live until their home is repaired.   Have to protect them against birds, hence the cover.

They were in shock for so long! They finally venture out to eat

Tommy has always been frightened of the fish, he can't work out how they survive and jumps backwards each time they move

Priscilla and Tommy got bored, so went cane toad hunting.

join in with your snapshots for the week, and lets make it a happening thing!

PS - Who can see what is wrong with the quilt from yesterday??

Another Gardening Day

We spent time in the garden again today, just to finish off a few things that we didn't get to yesterday.  So again we had a busy day, but it is good to see the work getting done, of course it makes such a difference to have the garden looking just that bit neater.

So here is our old cat, Ms Penelope Superfoot, just having a few words with Buddha.   For some reason she insists on drinking the water out of this little pond, even after the birds have bathed in it and left their calling cards.  Good view of her rear end anyhow, she would have to be 16 years old now and the most placid cat I have ever known.  She is much spoiled.

So here is another view of the garden and you can see where Penelope was sitting previously.

The fountain in this picture is home to our 7 goldfish.  They have grown so large, I never realized just how large goldfish grew and they have the appetite of a pig - not being rude to pigs, but that's what they act like!  I didn't get any other pics today, I'll have to start carrying the camera with me all the time and use it whenever I can.  I'll do my best.
