Summer time is braai time 24th May 2009

The sun sets on a day in the garden with Billy-Ria and Tania,
oh yes Murphy ( Tania's little dog) was here as well.
The summer is here and we are having some of the most amazing sunny days and the forecast for the rest of the English summer looks very promising.
Tania popped over for the day and out came the braai, Ria and Tania put some mouth watering dishes together and we had a ball.
Summer time is great - When the sun shines!, and the garden is coming to life with all the colours of the rainbow

Its show time in the garden and my seedlings start flowering

"mmmmmmmmmmmm" Looks good, Chicken, sosaties, wors and fresh asparagus
and they say its a dogs life, NOT
Freshly braaied prawns - now that was mouthwatering "MORE PLEASE"

BLUE MONDAY - DIE BLOU BULLETJIE

Oupa Bull-alias Bill had to get the grass cut and ready.

Monday was a holiday in the UK, and Liam came to visit, the sun was shining and he dressed for the occasion. The rest of them tagged along, Leon, Elizma, Ouma Zet and Oupa Danie.

We had a smashing afternoon, rolling around on the grass and watching the little fella get up to all sorts of tricks.

I just could not resist the temptation of the background music, considering that the Bulls beat the Hurricanes at Loftus in the semi-finals and are now in the finals against the Crusaders next Saturday.
OP DIE BULLE, en maak dir Bulle almal Bokke.

MY OWN LITTLE BLOU BULLETJIE

A small task in the garden - Liam's play area

Well with all the stress of the last month behind us and Leon well on the road to recovery, we had to get stuck in and do some garden work. While Leon was relaxing in Hospital, Elizma spent Sunday 26th April with us for a braai and Liam helped me with the garden work. Tania did the braai work and Ria made the salads, and mommy had to feed somebody in between.

The garden project I had started when it was rudely interrupted with a hernia, can now be completed. Build up the steps, do some rock-plaster, lift some slabs and plant the grass seeds, Takes 10days to germinate, so you can hear it grow. We are heading for summer and the spring air is wonderful, all the shrubs are shooting and the colours are amazing. The front garden is really looking good, once the petunia's and the other seedlings planted go into bloom, I am sure you will agree - paradise, all it needs is TLC and sunshine. Come-on Summer.

A Garden project - smashing - a lawn in the back yard for Liam
