Happy Easter to you my dear Georgios,

Have you been to Notre Dame de Paris? There are some beautiful stained glass windows. I went up the tower and looked out over Paris.

Thank you for visiting.

What a gorgeous forum,there are so many beautiful pictures. I can't offer any graphics but I do have some gorgeous photos I've taken.

Most recently this is a red kangaroo paw that was in the garden of the cottage my partner and I stayed in on a holiday I won. I'm not sure if this will work or not, I hope it does because they are a beautiful plant that now comes in a large variety of colours.

Where I live in Victoria, Australia we are in a drought and have been for about 5 years now, so people are looking for plants which give colour to their gardens but use little water as we have water restrictions at the moment.

I do believe Jamie Drurie who is a garden designer and has had a lot of TV shows on the subject here is creating an Australian Native Display at the Chelsea Garden show this year. He is extraordinarily talented and worth checking out if you live near there.

And now ... (fingers crossed this works) the red kangaroo paw.

 

 

 

Thank you Leanne.

The photo worked and is a great addition to Mother Earth's Garden.

We sometimes have drought water restriction times too. So, we look for plants that aren't going to need too much water.

The soil in our garden dries out very quickly and cracks too. When it rains the water lies on the top of the soil and can drown the plants. It doesn't soak down very well. When there isn't any rain it dries out very quickly, as the water hasn't had a chance to soak down into the soil. We try to collect rain water and use washing up water, but in a big garden like ours, it is time consuming and takes a lot of water.

That is a lovely plant.

Hello friends of Mother Earth!

I was in the garden planting pansies in pots and window boxes. The sun was shining brightly.

 

I noticed that I had a lot of weeding to do. The clay soil here may not be very good for growing plants, trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables, but those weeds grow at a tremendous rate.

 

I had to abandon the garden and go do something else.

 

As I was driving back from collecting the twins from the school bus, there was a French song playing (I actually wrote “French record”—showing my age!). Roughly translated, the words to the song are:

 

She is yours, but you will lose her if you leave her there without taking care of her.

 

That got me thinking about the weeds in my garden which I must attend to, before they take over.

 

In turn, that got me thinking about the bigger “weeds” in Mother Earth’s Garden.

 

If we leave her without taking care of her we will “lose” her too. The weeds will take over. What a legacy for our children.

 

Friends, lets get weeding and taking care of Her before she is lost.

Well, that's my thought for today. It was difficult to type as Isabelle and I were sharing cuddles! What a great pleasure that is.

Angel cuddles,

Sarah
