WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

Where's a picture of the twig?

[Giles]

You asked…..

[BloodnThunder]

You weren't joking.  That is a twig.  The yard in the background looks very nice, and I'm sure the twig will catch up to the rest soon enough.

[Giles]

Yeah, that's a USD75 twig….........When we bought the (wreck of a) house 10 years ago, the only thing in the garden was the house.  The garden was designed, planted and built by me and Paula.....It's actually a central part of who we are......

[BloodnThunder]

It looks great now.  Very spacious.  Every time my wife brings home a plant I get nervous.  Last time it was 3 bamboo plants for a grand total of 240 USD!  But… 'They really add to the space'.

Maybe this should go in the random rants thread.

Survived the first child birthday party of the year without casualties. Having a cigar and a glass of rum to cool down and celebrate that.

So what exactly is this expensive twig that required a trip to the tail end of nowhere?

The term 'garden' is a nice understatement 
This 'park' reminds me of ->

It is a truly beautiful garden! Amazing spot to relax in during summer.

I have fond memories of sitting around the pond, drinking beer and talking away with G and P.

That is unique.  Makes the ordinary white blossom magnolias around here seem dull.  I can see why you'd want it in your garden

Moody light over the lake today… Dog didn't care, he ran me ragged up and down the mountain for two hours.

[Giles]

Now that's what I call a large one…..

[neph93]

Very large and pink. Really a beautiful bloom. Congratulations to you both. Cat's happy too.

I can't believe it

Yesterday, small birthday dinner. I was obviously more concerned with my pizza than anything else…

Finding Jade….

Was very pleased to find my first piece of white jade. Very much a unicorn piece among jade hunters.

With G away again this bank holiday weekend, I decide to sneak off for a "me and my kindle" short break in Portugal.  Weather is not brilliant, but hotel grounds are beautiful (apologies for photo quality, I wasn't wearing my specs!)

Part of the complex is an old 16th C palace and church and they are preparing for a wedding today

@twin you and Bobby would love all the wildflowers
