Signs of Spring

Hello, old friends, good to see you again.

~ A year ago today I said goodbye to Trix ~ 

Daze

Unexpected surprise spotted in my garden today: first daisy of this Spring. Not a bad way to end a long and tiring work week.

~ A year ago today I was reading ~ 

Closed for Business

One of my succulents is flowering! But I haven't seen its flower properly yet as it shuts up shop when the sunshine goes.

~ A year ago today I was sick ~ 

Greenest of Greens

Not much going on in my garden this time of year. But I am loving these leaves! 

~ A year ago today I was admiring some lilies ~ 

Quiet Time

After work today I sat in the garden and read my book for half an hour or so. It was so nice to be outside... I've had far too much inside-time the last couple of weeks.

~ A year ago today Thomas also wanted to be outdoors ~ 

White Cat, Green Wall

The sun was shining brightly this morning.

~ A year ago today I was nibbling on a florentine ~ 

Little Gasteria

Latest succulent in my collection, brought back from Swellendam. My brother made the pot.

~ A year ago today I was having a picnic ~ 

Spray

Now flowering in my garden: abelia. So pretty! 

~ A year ago today I was wasting time on the internet ~ 

Mr Mantis

I spotted this beastie in my garden this afternoon. 

~ A year ago today I had some easy reads ~ 

Filtered

Corner of my garden this morning. Seasons are changing and the light is different. Still watering tho! 
~ A year ago today I was looking at the mountain ~ 

Hello Again

My grey succulent is flowering again. The main flower head is twice as big as last year's one, and there is a second spray of buds about to open. Makes me happy to see it so happy.
~ A year ago today it was raining ~ 

Bromance

These two often hang out together - they have the sweetest little friendship going. It's too cute!
~ A year ago today I was buying snacks ~ 

Pink & Yellow

My frangipani tree is in full flower at the moment. The flowers look extra bright on a grey day like  we are having today.
~ A year ago today I was drying washing ~ 

Green Things Growing

My succulent pots are coming along nicely.
~ A year ago today I got a new camera ~ 

Herbivore

I few weeks ago I got some cat grass for Tom. He loves it!
~ A year ago today I went for a walk alongside a river ~ 

Hidden Flower

I found this wild iris flower flopped over in a corner of my garden. It's so pretty!
~ A year ago today I was having hummus for lunch ~ 

Jasmine in the Rain

It looks like Spring out there but it doesn't really feel like it. Was cold and wet again today.
~ A year ago today I was armchair travelling ~ 

Baby Aeonium

I recently added a red (or is it black?) one of these to my succulent collection.
~ A year ago today I was scrambling around my kitchen cupboard ~ 

A Purple Show

Flowers growing in the bed next to my driveway. I like them so much.
~ A year ago today I was admiring the tree with the pink flowers ~ 

Arum

I love these glossy leaves. Will be happy when the flowers open.
