Flowers & Rain

G’day… Guess what? Its still raining! A lot.

We did at least get out of the house today and took a drive to Stanley to see a lady who owns our favourite shop there  – Sticks, Stones, Shells & Bones. So you can imagine we are in heaven in there! So many amazing shells, fossils & that kind of thing from all over the world.

I have become friends with Cassie, the owner, as I always visit, take guests and generally lurk about her shop when we are up that way.

Later in the afternoon, Emma and I went down to Ruby’s for an afternoon tea with Margie and my other two cousins, Ann and Fiona. It was a great afternoon – filled with stories, laughs and sponge cake!!

I can’t tell you how good this was!!! Ruby is a champion at sponges!

Anyway, I did do a bit of a soggy walk around the garden with my camera. I am dying for spring to really take hold – looking for anything with colour or potential! Soon it will be pretty fabulous, but I hate waiting!

The young cherry trees have some blossoms this year! Maybe we will get a couple of cherries this season!!!

I hope your day was equally fun and colourful!

Cheers!

    1. Haha – yes I know!!! I’d like to make an arrangement with the weather about just raining at night. 😀 Can you tell patience is not one of my strongest virtues?? lol
      Re the rocks… I was meant to put the barrels back on the tumbler today but got sidetracked – one lot needs to go back in the final polish so hoping in a week they will finally come up shiny and pretty. The other barrel is up to stage two. Some rougher agate – just to see how they go. Bit of an experiment! 🙂
