A few photos to show what I have been doing since my last post...none of me reading several books a week though!
The patio at the back of this house tends to flood during heavy rain...it had also gone very green so I borrowed Gordon's pressure cleaner yesterday and looks brand new again...
I stood this pot of nasturtiums on an upturned plant pot and love the cascade of green...Twitch eats the leaves too...
one of the many beautiful roses from our front garden...
Flooding on a main road near Fremantle...a near new Jag had broken down in the middle of this "puddle"..
I made new drawstring bags for Joe's chess group to keep the chess pieces clean and safe...
We both love polenta, either soft and creamy or firm and a little bit crusty...I baked these in the oven rather than frying them this time...
The mystery of the mess on my computer table each morning has been solved...why Twitch feels the need to climb up there when we go to bed he won't say but it makes us laugh as we hear his noisy progress...
I finished this throw rug knit from yarn given to me in Canada in 2009 by Priscilla and Will...knew it would come in handy one day...
Opposite my parent's home the golf course is looking very green and lush. This day Dad spotted a pet rabbit on their front garden, we followed it for ages but it just kept running away, sadly it didn't survive...Dad was late for golf and left his lunch on the table so I had to go and find him...
Spring flowers already...these narcissi have the sweetest perfume imaginable...
Kwinana Hub on a wet Sunday morning...
A 3 kg tin of mixed beans for $6? Yep...I drained and rinsed them, split them into 5 portions, froze 4 and made bean patties with one lot...
Finally a mystery plant growing in our neighbour's garden...it is 8 ft tall, has soft stems and flowers almost non-stop...any idea what it could be?
Bunnies have the cutest bottoms...just saying
Bye bye for now,
Sue

Wonderful catchup. Yes they are very cute, those bunny bums. I can just imagine the scent of that rose, like a memory of another time in Grandma's garden. I do like polenta just havent done that much with it. Great buy on beans. So glad to here from you. Which books?
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda, I feel I have been very lazy but time passes so quickly doesn't it? I discovered the 5 Matthew Shardlake mysteries set in Tudor England, then the Cadfael series beckoned, I read the Helen trilogy by Preston and Child and then there's been Wimbledon, The World Cup and now the Commonwealth Games on telly too...I am hibernating is my justification! Can't wait to get planting some tomatoes and zucchinis etc though. xxx
DeleteI missed reading here and you know that I missed seeing bunny butt.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are so descriptive on their own, just love them.
I have no idea what that plant really is, but it looks like orchids that grow here.
thank you for your lovely comments...I was thinking of you as I looked for the best pics of Twitchie Baby!
DeleteThe flowers do look like orchids and a little like snap-dragons too...I've asked at the forum to see if any Aussie gardeners recognise it

Lovely photos, Sue. Twitch sure keeps busy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chel...there's never a dull moment with a bunny in the house!
DeleteYou always have the best photos, and I love Twitch! I am a Preston and Child fan myself but have not read the Helen Trilogy, will now have to look for it in he library! So many books and so many of the new ones are trashy and simple. Sigh...think I'm sounding my age!
ReplyDeleteah! you are young at heart Kathy.
DeleteThe Helen Trilogy is 3 of the Pendergast books that involve the mystery of his wife, Helen. They start with Fever Dream, then Cold Vengeance and Two Graves and come after several other books involving the enigmatic FBI Agent!
Oh the sleeping posie might explain the funny email: "Dear Rose, I know you have a cat and a dog but do you have a rabbit? Love Twitch."
ReplyDeletelol it also explains why Peter Rabbit, Brer Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit have had their email addresses added to my address book!

Thanks for sharing your bunny butt!
