"They are a short-lived annual"...alas very short lived with me, I don't know why they keep dying - have given up growing them ...my petunias grow great...love your display, goes great with the blue glazed pot.
Thank you for sharing...sorry for your loss, my Condolences...that was a great age to reach and with such an historic background in her family line...lovely lady
Oh My...makes you wonder how they 'cope' with other life 'issues'...to throw the towel in, when they haven't given the job a chance, is pathetic...such a low work ethic. :\
Wow, that is a great testament to you and your pups...
Which breed were they? Corgis or ?
Yes, it would be a brave soul, whom asked Her Majesty, to quarantine her dogs.
Here, late tonight it is 28C, (83F) and we are experiencing our second large, loud thunderstorm, with lots of wild and windy rain - in the last couple of hours...it is great that were have lots of hot and humid temperatures for the plants to be growing like mad, but two of our dogs and I, really...
Good life lesson learned...
How we obtained the large NZW rabbit was, we were at our local monthly markets and were walking past these white, baby bunnies - the guy selling them sung out to us, while holding one of them up by it's ears - (I feel I could have cheerfully jumped the table and...
I'm Susannah, (some folk I have already met - apology, as I was remiss in not introducing myself)...I live near Australia's most easterly point - Byron Bay...the climate is sub-tropical and my city Lismore, is situated between the 'sea and the rainforest'.
I live with my partner and our...
Buddlias are beautiful and have so much going for them.
One of my loves is the heritage style roses and this is my 'Monsieur Tillier', 1891
It was the first rose I planted.
Luke is Gorgeous...true horse lover here...thank you for sharing your life with Luke, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this...love the humour, too. :)
"The Waler, the 'plain' Australian bush horse or utility horse, was once lauded as the finest cavalry horse in the world...Brumbies on the other hand, are a free-roaming feral horse in Australia, mainly in the Alpine region."
It was a combination of the cost of returning the Walers to Australia, (the Poms needed horses after the war, so these fit the bill) and from our quarantine laws...sadly, 10,000 Walers were killed near Alice Springs in 2013 - not widely reported...would have been an outcry.
'The Lighthorsemen'...
Australian horses - 'Walers' were involved in WW1 - 130,000 - sadly, they were not able to return here, due to quarantine laws ...we have recently had the 100th Anniversary of Beersheba...

Our three cats would make absolutely hopeless 'hunters'...they have Geckos running around on the floor of their outdoor enclosure...they just look down at them and move on with their sleeping, lol
Loved seeing these photos, lol...our Quin , Havanese, was a 'splooter', though it is difficult to see under all his hair...he went to the Bridge just before Christmas, aged 16yrs 7months...:hit sorry, forgot to place his photo - still upsets me that he has gone.
