Weekend

 It's neant to be a rainy weekend which is fine with us.  I'll sleep and mum will potter.  Perfect!!

Evening

 For some reason this evening I'm sitting out in the garden looking at the house.  Its a warm 22 deg C  and mim waits til it is dark to water the garden, it's looking dry.   We sit outside for a while and enjoy the sights and smells of a summers evening.  

Wordless Wednesday

 

Beautiful

 There were beautiful flowers at the market entrance this morning.   Mum can't afford flowers but she enjoys the pictures.    She did buy some Vietnamese wraps and orange juice as her lunch and it was delicious.   She came home and talked to me, sat in the sun, took a nap then came to work.

Dry

 A week of sunshine and after a goid mow, our grass is drying out.  Now mum has to water the plants each evening with the hose which she finds quite therapeutic. 

Home

 Today was another home day for us - relaxing,  eating and snoozing. 

Helper

When mum's out in the backyard I'm usually not too far behind.

Summer

 Mums 12 day work stretch finished this morning, and she celebrated by going to the hairdresser,  read some magazines at the library, met some friends for lunch, wandered round the garden center,  had an ice block in the sun,  took a wee nap, had a tiny steak and coleslaw for dinner, lit some candles, watched some shows, danced to music and best of all talked to me.

Nap

 Its been lovely and warm, so I've been taking little naps while mum potters around outside.

Wordless Wednesday

 

Gap

 Mum took these pictures of me sitting in the garden from the top of the steps beside our house.  You can see how close our house is to our neighbors.   

2 Days

 We have had 2 days if glorious summer weather, which mum knew would arrive on her night shift.  She's trying to get out and enjoy the afternoon sun.   The hydrangeas are at their peak beauty at the moment making mum super happy.

Derry

 Sweet Derry passed quietly with his mum Kim surrounding him with her love.  Sleep well sweet Derry Bear, we will miss you and feel blessed to have shared your lifes journey with your mum Kim.  Love mum and poppyq xxx

Purrs

 We are sending big purrs to our friend Derry and his mum Kim.  He is unwell and needs healing thoughts.   We love you both xxx.

Worker

 Mums at work and I'm waiting for her.

Evening

 The evening sunset looked nice, it rained 5 minutes after mum took these photos.  Weve got the tail end of a cyclone reaching us tomorrow.  So instead of a walk tomorrow morning she will do the recycling, and ckean out some of the wardrobe.   Oh and read her book and talk to me.  Perfect.

Blue Skies

The clouds cleared mid morning, so mum loaded up the washing machine to clean her clothes and towels.  It was a wonderful afternoon with sunshine and warmth.  Mum went for z walk then dropped 2 books at the library,  and picked up one.  $95 of groceries doesn't go far anymore, but at least mum got me some feast for me.

 The evening was warm and light, the nicest we have had in days.  Mum joined me outside for my evening patrol, where I sit and watch the neighbors and lookout for intruders.  I used to soend ages outside,  but as I've got older a half hour or so is enough.  I came inside and had some dinner, and have tucked myself back to sleep.

Sunday

The weather has been somewhat grim for what is meant to be our summer.  Mum has had the heater on this evening and is back and jeans, a sweatshirt and woolly slippers.  She was intending go go out for a walk and get groceries today, but the windy wetness kept her indoors.  Fingers crossed tomorrow will be better.
 

Snoozer

 The summer weather has been grimm with whipping winds and rainy all day. Mum pulled back the covers for me so that i could sleep in this spot here.  This was mt four hour afternoon sleep spot - then she could pull up the covers.

Weeds

 The weeds are growing higher, we think it has been 4 weeks since our mower man came last.  The rain and sunshine has made everything grow again.  He is slightly elusive and is having a summer break, but we hope he is back soon.  I enjoy it - lots of tasty grass to eat.
