Macro Monday… #autumnleaves
The beginning of a new week, and the arrival of Autumn. The signs are everywhere I look, so time to get around to some of those jobs that shouldn’t wait until the Spring… Time to make sure my bonsai are comfortable and ready for their winter sleep. They are not shedding leaves yet, so I…

In a Vase on Monday… mostly
Today, while enjoying so many lovely things here on my WordPress, I was overjoyed with the beautiful flower displays from Eliza and Cathy, two of the posts taking part in IAVO today. I find it hard to get my bearings on a Monday, but the fading memories of some of my own wonderful flowers kept…

Today was supposed to be the start of a good week, a week where I manage to achieve something that would even get me beaming. I am sorry to report that no such thing is happening, or likely to happen, if I’m honest. And I have no idea why. I have plenty of enthusiasm. My…
