Tea on the verandah & the garden


It rained again last night and the garden looked so fresh, I just had to sit and have a cup of tea [in my vintage American Beauty teacup] on the front verandah. Of course I couldn't resist getting out the mobile phone and taking some photos [I find it so easy to use and it automatically downloads when plugged into computer].

I started with the teaset on table, then the view of garden from where I was sitting, then I walked around the garden again 'snapping' roses and started pulling weeds out while the ground was soft from the rain.








new buds
new pelargonium cuttings planted in the old wheelbarrow
it used to have pansies each year
but now needs something that will survive on rainfall
and last from year to year

along the fence line

some of those weeds...why do they grow so well?

The next 3 show the rose that climbs over the front gate



Have a beautiful day! See you again soon!
