Lots of apricots. I hope they ripen before the hot weather turns cold again.

FFfAW – Week of 09-22-2015 Challenge 32
Lonely artist
Amy could not find her good friend. They had an appointment to meet at the swimming pool for a cup of tea. Amy was very worried about the way her friend, Sue, was reacting after her accident. Sue could, at times, not remember anything that had happened to her.
After waiting fifteen minutes without Sue turning up Amy went off looking for her friend. She had a look at all their usual meeting places.
At last Amy went out in the garden. Reaching the rose garden, she could hear a soft humming. Opening up the foliage Amy saw Sue with her easel and paints happily painting and singing her favourite hymn. Between the soft singing she was also talking to herself.
“Sue, I was worried about you. What are you painting?”
“Here is my mother, between her roses,” replied Sue.
Amy only shook her head in disbelieve, there were only blotches of paint on the canvas. All Sue’s painting skills were also lost.

It’s Write Easy – quick writing – DESCRIBE a garden.
During my It’s Write Easy session on Friday we had the following topic to write a “quick writing” paragraph.
DESCRIBE a garden
The following picture came to mind.
The vegy beds are empty and still grey. How dull!
Remember it is still cold and very wintry. Spring is just peeking around the corner I suppose.
The sun rises and some rays shine on the side of a tree painting it in gold.
Looking at the spring flowerbeds the daffodils are swaying in the breeze, their yellow heads held high to catch the sun beams. The yellow faces all in unison up to the light. The soft breeze also fills the air with a waft of sweet aroma.
So clean, and oh so delightful.
What do you think? Can you imagine the picture in your mind?

Grass
Grass around a sink hole on my neighbours lawn!
It happened overnight end of June!.Very dangerous I have to say. I asked the council here for help. Answer: It is private property they do nothing!. (They came the next day and had a look!)
Frosty morning!
Wow, and was it cold and so
beautiful this morning!
Yesterday we had the first snow on the hills.
The cold snap and
an icy Southerly brought hard frost to us.
When I took Trompie out last night at about 10 pm frost was already on the grass and cars!
This morning I had to take photos to show how it looked.

SEISOENE opvolg
Toe ek na my laaste fotos kyk om iets te plaas kom ek op my herfs foto af wat ek spesiaal Dinsdag 10 Maart geneem het om by my post te sit.
Aangesien die woorde wat ek geskryf het nie juis opduik nie plaas ek die foto van HERFS wat beslis oppad is. My Vriendin waar ek die fotos geneem het is ook Virginia(Interessant nê)
VIRGINIA CREEPER
The common name of Virginia Creeper was originally applied to the North American climber Parthenocissus quinquefolia. It was later also given to the closely related P. tricuspidata, which is a native of China and Japan. The Asian species is often seen growing over rocks in Chinese gardens, or alongside other vines such as wisteria. The Chinese consider this plant so vigorous that they call it ‘Mountain-climbing Tiger’.

Soroptimist meeting in Upper Hutt
Yesterday was a cloudy but dry afternoon.
A friend of mine invited me to come with her to their Soroptimist meeting.
The event was to
| Walk the Talk to stop the domestic violence against women and girls 2014 |
We had a lovely time in a beautiful garden.
We were given words written on paper and
had to arrange them to make a sentence
saying something about violence against women.
We had some tea and scones while enjoying the afternoon outside.
