Spring Beauties

Love their crazy hair-do's!

 

Two photos of the spring beauties out in the garden was all I was able to take.

We have gale force winds out there. Again.

It was way too hard trying to get the flowers in focus, they were moving about

all over the place.

Well lunch break is over, back to work for awhile this afternoon.

Back out into the freezing cold wind.

At least it is not raining...yet.



Before The Rain

I had a look around the garden to see what else was flowering.

Gorgeous purple Beadered Iris

Clivia in the shadehouse.

Another pretty cornflower, slightly different colour from the last one.

Jess

Billy

Of course around this place I can never walk around the garden or try and do something in the house without having one or two + 'companions'. In this case Jess and Billy were on hand today, with both the dogs deciding it was just too cold to go outside unless absolutely necessary.

Somebody forgot to tell the weather it is actually spring!

It was so cold today, had to dig out the real warm winter woollies.

Back to warm jumpers and soup weather again!

Sunday In Pictures

A lovely Sunday pottering around, doing jobs both inside and outside. It's now time to go feed the menagerie and cook our dinner before ending the day in front of the fire watching a bit of tv. Hope everyones' Sunday was a lovely one too.

::Ten on Ten:: September 2013

10 pictures on the 10th day of the month.

{Document a snapshot of your life and find beauty among the ordinary things in your day!}

Joining in with Rebekah for this months Ten on Ten.

 First thing this morning was to get 3 loads of washing out on the line

as a series of storms are supposed to be moving in.

At least the strong breeze got it dry in no time.

Taking a wander around the garden, I noticed my first cornflower

had opened. Can't wait to see the rest of them open up.

Late morning I started working on a small project.

My kitchen is blah and boring, so I am trying

to do a few small things to brighten it up a bit.

I made a start on brightening up the pin-up board on the side

of the pantry, with this happy looking polka dot contact.

Unfortunately I ran out of time to finish it off.

 Hopefully I will be able to get back

to it at the end of the week.

Less fun to do today was finish off a job application

and do my tax return.

Thankfully that job is now out of the way.

After tackling my tax it was time to have a cuppa.

A herbal tea in this case, trying to cut down

on the amount of coffee I'm drinking.

Once again I pulled this fabric out ready to start cutting it up,

but once again couldn't bring myself to start as I am

afraid of making big mistakes with my cutting and

ruining the chance of being able to do anything

with it.

Today's egg count.

My beautiful boy BJ.

He was in his usual spot in the kitchen

waiting ever so patiently for his dinner to

appear in his bowl.

This was the sky about 5pm.

Apparently some heavy rain and gale force

winds are on the way!

I certainly wouldn't make a food photographer!

It mightn't look much, but this creamy mushroom pasta

and salad was yum. And the best thing is there is enough to

have for dinner again tomorrow night. Tomorrow is going to be a

loooong day at work. I will be on the road all day, I have hundreds

of kilometres to drive. I should hopefully finish about 7pm.

Should be fun with all the rain and wind coming in!

At least dinner will be easy to rustle up. 

I had fun participating in my second ten on ten and finding the beauty in the everyday. Looking forward to next months ten on ten.
