Friday flowers from the Farm.......

Oh how I wish these were from my garden.

And I wish I had taken this beautiful photo.

It comes from A Country Farmhouse.

I think it is magnificent.

And the symmetry here, just divine really.

Also from A Country Farmhouse.

Hope you have a good weekend planned.

I hope to do some boogie boarding.

Wahooooooo!

home tour part one

This week I am going to feature a gorgeous home I found whilst cruising around on the net.
You know when you are really tired. Too tired to concentrate on TV, too tired to go to bed. Too tired to do the ironing, but not too tired to flick through pretty house pictures. that was me on the weekend. Flicking around, I came across this beauty.


This beautiful home is in Ballarat, Victoria, not really too far from my neck of the woods.


Lets start in the garden.

Ballarat is full of old homes and the climate is very kind to roses.

I would love to sit here and have a quiet cuppa.

Now entry is one of my all time favourites.

so light and bright.

So happy and welcoming.

Do you like it?

want to see more?

Pop back and I will show some more this week.

My Spring garden ...Friday flowers

Hello.

If you are not into gardens or don't like roses, this might not be the post for you.

If you do, then come on in, let me show you around our garden in spring.

This climbing rose is a beauty, always reliable and very fuss free.

These things are dietes (I think).

We planted tons of them in the big drought. We are just recovering the garden after 10 years of drought.

They are so hardy, never need watering and you can't kill them with a stick!

I like the flowers they look like iris's.

These roses are just there by the hair of their chinny chin chins. They have been dodgy for a number of years. 

They must have heard me complaining and threatening to pull them out because they are performing well so far this season.

The lawn was scalped last weekend but I think it will green up quickly now the weather is warming up.

We recently installed these babies.

They are plumbed into the laundry and one of the toilets.

Excess water is used on the garden.

I love these roses.

They make really cute little posies.

These are by far my favourite roses.

I cut them and have them in the house often.

I only discovered these grannies bonnets the other day. I was delighted to find them.

These roses are bush roses gone a bit feral.

I can't bring myself to pull them out but they really are not very well behaved.

This one is very nice and extremly well mannered. Perhaps a little shy.

Are you sick of them yet?

My mum calls these "death lillies" or others call them "dunny lillies".

I think that is mean.

I rather like them.

I think they are sculptural.

Lulu says hello.

She bolted for her kennel when it started to spit with rain when I was taking the photos.

Good Monday Morning!

Good morning. Hope you had a fabulous weekend.

I just thought I'd share some of the last of the Autumn Roses. If you are at home, perhaps it's time for a cup of tea. If you are sneaking a peek at work, perhaps it's time for a cup of tea before you get back to work.

The roses are "peace" roses and they smell divine, not too heady, just like the way I like roses to smell.
