Only an artist can see the beauty that is around us and display it so that the rest of us can see it. One day I hope to sit with you in those inviting wicker chairs, looking at that book you describe, and having a cup of tea.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456736523331076619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26581586.post-2607602320334484952007-02-06T16:48:00.000+11:002007-02-06T16:48:00.000+11:00Hi, LeeAnn, it's been a while since we've "chatted...Hi, LeeAnn, it's been a while since we've "chatted". I took a long look around to catch up on your "doings". <br /><br />I see you're in the midst of an extended drought, as my friend Meow is. I do hope the drought is over soon. I know there have been some terrible bush fires near Meow's home. <br /><br />We've had severe droughts here and nothing is sadder than watching the plants and animals suffer and die.<br /><br />It's nice that you've managed to nurse along a few treasured plants, and I love your old enamelware and dishes. <br /><br />Take care, LeeAnn. :-)Diane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26581586.post-41600275531759437182007-02-06T14:18:00.000+11:002007-02-06T14:18:00.000+11:00Again, your photos are beautiful!

I have tried before today to return the visit, but blogger would not allow me to comment.I'm trying again. <br />Your book find is super, anything like that really delights me, lucky you !!<br /> I am aware of your drought situation as I visit with Robyn(Wednesday's child) and she has mentioned the problem. It must be hard to see your garden shrivel up, hopefully you will be blessed with some 'liquid' sunshine soon..!<br />Despite that there some colourful areas in your garden as you have shown. Love the china too..!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26581586.post-69916733542932282512007-02-06T09:30:00.000+11:002007-02-06T09:30:00.000+11:00Hello Lee-Ann...I just sat down to rest a bit from...Hello Lee-Ann...I just sat down to rest a bit from working.

I just love the way you display bits and pieces of this and that to create a charming setting. Do you remember our patio that you step on to from the lounge room? Well, everyone says what a nice area it is and that it has so much potential to be really lovely. But I just don't have that creative mind, so next time you and Rob are visiting, would you be so kind as to put your imagination to work and give us some ideas?Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26581586.post-87085722652512944172007-02-05T14:44:00.000+11:002007-02-05T14:44:00.000+11:00oh poor dear Lee-ann, my heart breaks for you and ...oh poor dear Lee-ann, my heart breaks for you and the drought. <br />I am busy as a bower bird, gathering as I go - little bits of stuff for your easter basket (scavenger hunt) - one day I could call you on the phone and we could have a chat!<br />ps- I am in the middle of organizing a little group of ladies to have a perpetual swap group - once a month - let me know if you are interested.Miss Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144002124919728056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26581586.post-32461840172641570392007-02-05T14:31:00.000+11:002007-02-05T14:31:00.000+11:00Hello, this is the first time I've visited your bl...Hello, this is the first time I've visited your blog.

My first thought when I saw the pieces of old plates is what a nice mosaic they would make somewhere in your garden. With the pieces embedded in cement, much the way you have photographed them, would be a nice way to keep a small piece of the past on display.<br /><br />HugsPuss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.com
