Yesterday Jen, Erin, Caiden and Richard rode a 12 km mountain bike race just north of Pretoria at Babbas Lodge. They had a wonderful time!
There were dung beetles rolling dung all over the reserve:)
Back here at home, my apple is still growing beautifully on its tree. I am so excited about this, let me tell you!
Our Agapanthus plants are in full bloom.
I discovered these lovely mushrooms growing under my Grapefruit tree, amongst the Comfrey this morning.
And, we have a new Sparrow family that has built a nest and moved into the heart of a Fever tree in our garden. The thorns on this tree are huge. I think he has chose a very safe spot to build his nest.
I had to include this photo from Friday morning. One activity Kye loves, is to make himself tea. This is one of my favourite tea pots, it is adorned with guinea fowl and was a wedding gift from Richard's Aunt up in Zimbabwe.
Tomorrow I will show you the new pattern I have been working on, a farmyard cow:)
Have a wonderful weekend.
beautiful photos, thank you for sharing you day! love seeing nature in other parts of the world appreciated!!! hugs from a kindred soul!!!
ReplyDelete1st thought: Dung beetles - ewww! But beautiful pictures! and I love the tea shot...enjoying a cuppa myself at the moment...
ReplyDeleteWe have thorn trees, Russian Olive Trees behind our house. I thought the thorns on those trees were huge!!! They are nothing compared to yours!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour plants/photos are lovely. We are deep in the 'chill' here. Cold and hazy..... I wish it would snow!
I look forward to your cow pattern, as I said on FB, the last cow I knit turned out looking like a bull with an udder. Kristen can testify to this!! It was the funniest most disturbing thing.
Hey Linda, your photo of Kye is very touching, I love that he is already getting into the wonderful ritual of tea-making! And so lovely that your special tea pot is getting everyday use : )
ReplyDeleteMy heartiest congratulations on your amazing success with your work x M
