My Garden...

Well considering I don't have a "Green Thumb" I think my garden is doing pretty darn good at the moment. My motto is "If it needs constant watering or care, then it doesn't belong in my garden" as I am guaranteed to kill it :)

Here are a few samples that my garden is producing at the moment. My weeping blossom tree which I have had for at least 3 years is in full bloom for the very first time and finally I have pink blossom. Yippee!!!  Over the years I have purchased a few blossom trees stating that they are "pink", but when the time comes only white blossom appear???  My roses have gone made and are absolutely covered in buds, so looking forward to the next few weeks of colour.



Both Isabella and Piper have been going around the garden telling me the colours of flowers, and I am trying to teach them that not all flowers need to be picked.  Their latest is picking all of the buds and then peeling them open and the reason for this is that Nanny bought them the DVD of "Thumberlina" and now they think that inside every bud they will find Thumberlina. It has taken a while but I think I have finally got the message across :)

Not much else has really been happening as both Piper and I have been sick with conjuctivitis and a virus/flu. Today is the best that I have felt for the past week so fingers crossed that this bug has left for good.

Today Brett started on a door for the kids cubby house FINALLY.  It has only taken 3 years of asking but now we are halfway there. He got a little side tracked halfway through making the barn style split door and ended up adding a little verandah out the front. It does make it look very cute and will look even better once we add a coat of paint.

 

Till next time.
