beauty…

I love flowers and during the winter months I try to keep some around me because they keep me happy…

been enjoying some lovely blooms on the plants that came in from the garden…

the hyacinth is still flowering although its leaves are falling off… this is often the pattern when they come in from outside…

the gardenias are starting to open and perfume the air… it might just be happier inside the house…

this morning as I was leaving the house I got this picture of the begonias in the planter…

cool to see how some plants just keep on blooming while leaves are falling off everything else around them…

last few bits of summer… such a treat…

autumn…

so excited this morning to take a few pictures of the gardenia blossoms…

there are eight or nine buds and I can hardly wait for them to open…

autumn is coming on strong… as I was driving home tonight I stopped on a side street and got a picture of the trees…

the colours are changing daily, maybe even hourly…

and even in the cooler weather there are plants blooming like crazy…

this planter is filled with neverending begonia blooms, and some lobelia… 

took a few minutes to savour the beauty of the freshly purpled door… it is beautiful…

today marks four years since my return to work following my cancer/hernia surgery… I had been off for ten weeks… 

I am so blessed… in so many ways…

happy with all the new plants… can hardly wait to get them outside…

the gardenia smells delicious…


and the flowers are very pretty…

the two tropicals are ready to get into the garden…


they are going to make it a bit more lush… not exactly sure where they will end up,  and will likely move them around a bit to find the best spot…

the mandevilla looks great and I can hardly wait to get it planted…


very happy with the fire table…


been looking for months for just the right one… saw this on Friday and met the kids to actually buy it on Saturday and they brought it home in their vehicle…

was able to get it going easily… simple to turn on and off and I think it is going to be just the right thing for me…


sat in the hot tub and watched the flames for ages… very nice…

looking for a bit of help with the gardening I think…
