Dee Dee you need to email me your address as there is no email address on your blog.

Some exciting happenings in my family.

Will post about it tomorrow as my babysitting gig with Riley is in full swing and he's just decided to try swinging off my arm which makes posting slightly difficult

200th Post and a Giveaway

Can't believe I have done 200 posts.

To celebrate the occasion I am having a giveaway.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this page and this sweet heart garland could be yours.

I will draw a winner on the night of 19th May (Australian time)

Love Autumn

Love looking at the colours of the leaves on the Silver Birch trees at the end of this garden.
Amazing that these 3 silver birch still have their leaves but the 5 out the front garden have none left.

Beautiful raindrops on the camellia blooms this morning

Love the colour of the flowers on the camellias in this hedge

Thanks to everyone on their lovely comments over the time we had Riley staying with us.

Hope it didn't bore you too much

Don't forget to leave a comment to be in the giveaway

After a rush trip with a 2 day drive each way and 4 days staying with my dad it was good to be home. At nearly 86 my Dad is doing ok - he has cancer that they won't bother to touch - he wouldn't survive the operation. He can't walk very far on his own so uses a walking stick and a walker - even then he can't go far. I guess it is just the cycle of life.

MY FIRST BABY TURNS 32

I can't believe that my first baby Melanie turned 32 on Friday.

We went to a restaurant called 'Soy' in Mornington - very yummy.

Here is Melanie pictured with Riley.

Riley kept himself amused watching videos of himself on his Mummy's (Amy) phone. He had nobody to play with as Lachlan and Chloe were with their Dad for the weekend.

LOVE HOW HE EATS

Wouldn't you love to be able to just shove your food in your mouth like Riley - maybe just once.

Saturday night we babysat this little treasure as Amy and Ryan went to see Cirque De Soleil.

I think this dirty faced urchin will wonder in years to come how come his Grandma put a girls bib/feeder on him.

IN THE GARDEN

Found this insect on my lemon tree on the weekend.
