I didn't like yesterday so I didn't blog

it was HOT and dusty and I had to water the garden more then once to keep it cool.
But the fun thing about blogs you can look back to what happened last year, on the same date as yesterday it was HOT.
In the night it must have rained and this morning the air is fresh and everything looks a lot better.

A photo everyday   from my back door looking west.

 I love these fluffy clouds.

 Maybe I should of thinned out the tomatoes.

 I love the colour of these cauliflowers and the name"Chedder cheese"

 And baby clementines are so cute

 And also the promise of Chamagne  can you tell I don't like it when its HOT
And I just saw that this is 400th post.

My new project for today is...

making a perfectly good linen cupboard into a pile of fire wood.I did have a plan but do you know if the back falls off cupboards are very fragile I didnt but I  do now. I can't wait until "The builder " sees it he never liked the cupboard. I guess we might have to do some cupboard shopping.But untill then laundry will be in plastic bags.

It has been raining all day which is lovely because I know just around the corner Summer is coming and I wont see a drop of rain for at least 6 months for Sean that will be too soon.

A walk around the garden and a look at Fridays sky

 there are certain weeds that I don't mind having in my garden in fact if it has a pretty flower they are welcome.

We have a lot of Periwinkles growing by the house.

 I love this colour of African daises At the moment they are in full bloom it flowers nearly all year round. Last year I collected some seeds from it they are growing well, can't wait to see what colour they will be as I was told they might not be the same as the mother plant.

The name for Violas in Hebrew is Amnon and Tamar (Hansel and Gretel).They are so such a happy flower.

I dont know how a cauliflower  plant got in there with the pansies but I am going to leave it  see what happens.

  Cant beat this plant I have had it since we moved in every summer it looks like it has died, good job that I not a very good gardener .

 Sage is a great plant to have in the grden not just because it is useful in the kitchen and medicine cabinet it also has lovely leaves.

My anemones are still going strong.
