It's a constant job with watering and attending to plants in such heat.<br />I quite enjoy watering the garden. It gives me time to think as well as enjoy the plants. Hope you have a good week.<br />Betty Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979455592865842458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-11086717240468740802013-08-11T16:09:28.641+01:002013-08-11T16:09:28.641+01:00I have looked at your past posts – you have beauti...I have looked at your past posts – you have beautiful flowers and lovely furniture. What an exciting time for you with your son’s wedding coming up – he is quite handsome as well as his fiancée. I love your rose picture in your heading – so delicate and perfect. The foliage looks good too – here in the South we have problems with disease and fungus so I don’t have many roses anymore – I used to have 150 rose bushes, long ago.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-67805837662060006282013-08-10T07:12:22.880+01:002013-08-10T07:12:22.880+01:00Hi Val.

Thank goodness you have swimming pool to cool down from the temperatures of 38-40C!<br />It is raining here today and I am so thankful! City heat is just terrible and it's been humid too - no air-conditioning here or a pool to cool down - just the blinds to let down and an electric fan that blows the air around!<br />I'm really looking forward to September and October with the lovely lighting and gorgeously cooler temperatures!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-38739163215154434852013-08-06T20:49:36.195+01:002013-08-06T20:49:36.195+01:00Hello, Val.

Just relaxed, I also enjoyed watering the flowers again , as ihave the water flowing again.<br />My doggies are my best companions. They love it when i am relaxing. They lie next to me and enjoy the day too. Well. If i had have had the Rum in..it sure would have been that... but I only had the W stuff.. and I havent drank it for over 12 years.. so I tried it again.. It was perfect. <br />Thanks for your comments patricia.. always nice to see you from Down Under.valerietilsten59.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617190196811279000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-47216627638230604692013-08-06T10:16:41.444+01:002013-08-06T10:16:41.444+01:00Thank you Sanda,
