Poor Lion...

Joshua holding his precious Lion...

Well, it has been over a week now since we lost our darling little Muffin... She was beautiful... We had a neighbour's dog come up our driveway and he ended up killing her...

So this leaves Lion all on his own without a Belgian d'Uccle to keep him company... He has taken more to the miniature Pit Game hens that we have so he is doing fine... Bet he misses Muffin as much as we do though...

Mulberries...

Our little Mulberry Bush...

Yes, we realise that they are not Failsafe... But we only had one each... lol We have two trees that happened to have fruit on them on the weekend so had to pick them. Or we would have lost them to the local wildlife anyway... Was amazed that we didn't as it was :)

And yes they were very sweet and delish :) :) :)

Margaret's Garden...

Looking great, Margaret :)

Oh it has taken a while and was a weed fest for a long time but look at it now. It has been transformed. Margaret, congrats again to you and your helpers. :)

Can't wait for them to fill out... What a wonderful sight that will be and on top of that it will be wonderful for the bee population as well. lol

Hammock time...

The boys and dogs in the hammock...

Joshua and his girl, Nova :)

My beautifully smiley boy :)

Last week, as mentioned before I bought a hammock. It is to be an early Birthday present for myself really but couldn't wait till the 22nd... And as you can see I am not the only one that enjoys it... I got it from Aldi and unfortunately there were none left as I wanted to get one for a friend... Just too popular :)

The dogs love to jump in there as well :) Love it also that it is a double one as I like to get in there with one of of the kids at a time... Nice cuddle time :)

Cheers Damaris

Can you smell it???

My beautiful and fragrant rose :)

If only computers had the ability to send smells down the computer cable. This rose is from my garden and has the most beautiful rich smell... I will have to just share the photo... You will have to imagine the rest I am afraid...

Off to enjoy another whiff :)

Not doing so well...

My dreadful game...

Had a wonderful friend of mine over for three days earlier this week and most of Tuesday spent playing pool. Oh what fun we had. I did pretty well actually. Yes, surprised myself :)

But then there were games were I had six balls left with Margaret having sunk all of hers and the black as well. Luckily that was only for one game...

We also did allot of lying in the hammock... I got one last week from Aldi for $89. It is a double hammock and I love to lie in it with one of the kids at a time... So nice to cuddle... Margaret enjoyed it also. She was in it and I was in my comfy camping chair next to her. Yep, we both ended up sun burnt as well... Not good...

Oh but we had so much fun... Can't wait for next time. :)
