one way to break a drought is to put up outside Christmas lights up....it's sure to rain
We put 2 trees up...an artificial one in the front sitting room window and a fresh pine in the family room

The way to make it rain is by putting up lights--haha! Your garden and views are just stunning. I love all your colorful and vintage ornaments too. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYour roses are beautiful. They must smell so juicy! Hi, girls! (I must always say hi to the girls!) You are the first (and only?) Australian blog I am following, I believe, and I am having fun with roses from the garden and decorated Christmas trees being in close proximity to one another! I don't think the novelty will wear off - ever! I am more than a little jealous about your tomato plant. I did not have a good tomato all summer here in North Carolina! My own grape tomatoes were sweet and juicy, but I think it got too hot to grow the large ones. They would rot on the vine before they were ready for harvest. Maybe this spring we will try something else.
ReplyDeleteThe picknick basket is a wonderful find and the views from your home over the garden to the hills is just spectacular. Lovely Christmas decorations and then the roses, I almost envy you we have to wait till June before they bloom again.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Love all the pictures...the roses are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo looking into the mirror! And I love lots of red and white! Beautiful roses and lavender flowers! Happy holidays, Diane
