Magic Gardens and Happy Ever Afters

Beautiful White Roses flowering at our Adelaide garden.
Soon we are heading back to South Australia for a
visit. I look forward to seeing lots of roses in bloom.


Visiting my dearest friends wonderful vegie patch and
tropical fruit heaven last month I felt as though I had made
a quick trip out to the country even though I had not left the
town at all! I was surrounded by a multitude of all kinds of
freshly fruiting greens. She is proud owner of these sweet
Ducks and Chickens who love her as much as the rest of
the family and know she is the Mother who feeds and cares for them. Next time I visit I am looking forward to sampling
more healthy home grown with love goodies and I am waiting for the huge Passion fruits to get ripe! Thank you Kerryn for sharing
your patch of green with me and for all the cups of tea we 
have shared over the years, may I be forever grateful.

Time to unpack the Sewing Machine and get to work creating
a Shrug cover up to keep our daughters shoulders warm on the
big Wedding Day that is getting closer by the day.  

My Nana and Papa on their Wedding Day all those years ago.
I know they will still be part of the big day and will be with us
 all in spirit. When they started Married life in
1930 the future was unwritten and they planned a family
who I am lucky enough to be part of. 
So we are all looking forward to sharing a great family
time and adding a new son-in-law to the mix
for us to love as our own.  

While visiting South Australia for the Wedding we
will enjoy catching up with all our extended family.
Some can not attend due to ill health and age not letting
them get around quite as much as they would love to.
Never mind we will be sure to visit them in the most
beautiful places in country SA.
Spring, such a great 
time to escape to the country side! 

Hope you all have a wonderful Week-end
Lots of Love to you xo

Welcome New Baby


Welcome to our family dear little Isaac. Proud parents Mat and Elisha and big sisters
Cheyenne and Dakota make one lovely happy family. Our already BIG family is getting
larger this year with a lovely Great Neice and Great Nephew. Last year was a busy year
for babies too. I look forward to getting to know them.
Since we moved back to South Australia from Darwin, Northern Territory we are lucky
to be able to see much more of our extended family and enjoy catching up often.
Another thing we are enjoying is creating a garden at our new home and watching it
spring to life with the great weather we have had lately. Plenty of rain after the dry
Summer. The flowers in the picture are from our garden and have all just started
flowering.
Hubby is a fantastic gardener. He enjoys pottering around and did all our landscaping
himself, so he is very talented and a handy person. I on the other hand love giving
plenty of input into the design and picking out of plants. Our garden is small but has
plenty of character and since we started from scratch it has been lots of fun.
Missy our dog and I get to check out whats happening around our area when we go for
long walks. The variety of homes in our area range from very old to brand new.
One minute an old home is minding its own business and then its goodbye to make
room for 2 or 3! new homes on the one block. Anyway some of the older homes have
cottage style gardens and some old fashion types of plants. I get to see just what will
do well at our place. One day we will run out of room, not too soon I hope!
Getting ready for another busy weekend. Another big birthday in the family and a
get together to attend. We are dog sitting my Mums 2 year old poodle for a bit.
Hope he settles, fast! He cried most of last night, next to our bedroom window!
We will have to close off that area or we will be very tired soon.
Hope you all have a great time this weekend.
Cheers, Sue
