Flowerdale put on the blue skies and sunshine for us today – she didn’t even bat an eyelid when I – ever the optimist – put on two loads of washing!
I totally got into that salvia today!
There is a reason I am neither hairdresser nor stylist!
There was afternoon left, so I nipped over to Ruby’s and saw she was taking the same kind of liberties with the weather as well –
Ruby has been suffering for a few months with a really bad foot – well, its her toes really. She told me she had been “Very kind to it” (ie she had sat on her bottom too much resting it) but couldn’t resist the sunshine and was out with Margie making a dent in the weeding
Ruby went inside to sort out the kettle and some afternoon tea, while I filled up the green bucket a few times with the offending weed
The green wheelie bin was fairly full – something that will please Ruby immensely!! It really annoys her to send that bin out to the curb with space in it. She feels she is not getting her money’s worth if its not chokkas!! 😀
I enjoyed going inside for my cuppa and delicious bit of raspberry slice, made by Margie!
I have no particular stories today, but it was just lovely spending time with Ruby after us both having enjoyed the lovely weather. Its like having your batteries recharged and I am sure we are both solar powered!! 🙂
Have a lovely day wherever you are in the world!
Cheers!
PS – this shot is my favourite! I find Ruby takes a fabulous shot when she thinks I have finished mucking about with the camera and she laughs or smiles naturally!! I took the last shot when she wasn’t expecting it and I practically got a finger shaken at me!!
Oh no! Not the shaking finger! That’s almost as bad as using both your given and middle names….a sign that you are in real trouble. It seems you were forgiven though, and still had tea with the delightful Ruby despite naughtiness.
LOL -yup… If I had gotten the middle name it would have been all over! haha
She is a good sport about my photographing her!!
Hi Lisa – I’m Beverly from Spencer, North Carolina in the USA. I look forward every day to your writings about what you are doing and all about Ruby. I must admit that sometimes I have a little trouble figuring out what you are trying to say with your “Lisa-isms.” I laugh a lot with your antics, occasionally shed a tear at the beauty of Tasmania, and I have come to love you, Jeff and especially dear Ruby. I can’t wait to see the birthday celebration I am sure is being planned. I love seeing pictures of Pip also – I too am a cat lover. Keep sending your wonderful blog and pictures and I will keep enjoying every days’ events. Thanks so much!!
Hi Beverly!! What a lovely message! Thank-you so much!! I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying seeing a bit of life here in Tasmania!
I do admit enjoying putting in a few weird Australian works – think of it as a cryptic crossword! But always feel free to write and ask if you really can’t work something out. 🙂
Oh yes – there is a big party/gathering planned and we are all looking forward to it immensely!
I’ll have to pepper the blog a few more with Pip photos… I am sure he won’t mind!
Have a lovely day!!
I love that you guys are in the dead of winter and still able to put the laundry up! Definitely looking forward to having an ol’ line out whenever we move to a house. My mom used to have them, and I always loved grabbing and smelling the clothes. Nothing is cleaner than fresh air!
I am on a roll! Got another load out there today. Added bonus of a bit of a breeze!
Better get back out to my pruning!!
(oooo and yes to the fresh smell of line – dried clothes!!!)
It is a beautiful picture!
Thanks Judy!! xx
