And August just flew by..

Finally summer arrived , bees happy

Kayaking with the family

                                   Ian being a prat

Lounging seals

 And a  Snijders picknick , lots of food and cake.

Summertime .

And Tashi is taking it easy .

And then we had our first November rain .

More catching up......... and bye , bye Meltdown Doris .

Some catching up .

                                    When I'm fifty four..........

                                    Blue poppy , after babying for a 2 years.......it blooms !

Tree Paeonia , after babying it for 3 years .......it blooms 

Florette and some Rhubarb on steroids for my birthday .

                                             A June garden after all

                                                 And a weird kind of Jack in the Pulpit .........

A sore Back , our first Bees , a Blue poppy and a Buddha for Wesak day

May 2011

                                        Beautiful Fawn lily , the next day a slug decimated it .

                                                        Meltdown Doris is still here

                                           
                                                         And is this spring at last ?

Meltdown Doris.

Well we're trying to call her 

Dorje , Doortje, Dorretje , any thing but Doris .

Correction : it's still winter .

So still some late night fire wood hauling 

and long walks to 

                                                    Big Trib in the snow and sun , it's tough .

Spring is sooooooooo close.....

Yep , she's back .

Getting there ....

 To measure or not to measure , that's the question . Good job John .

Still winter .

Later the sun did come through , but by then I was having a nap all blah with a cold .

Back to work .

Well kinda................

                                 So this is what 1/4 of a stair case looks like , still some ways to go .....................

 And this is how a whole new

Dog Sleeping Station is tested .....................

And this our new bed room  ,sweet...........  

Koh Samed

So we had our little rendezvous in the tropics ,

a whirlwind beach holiday on Koh Samed ,bliss indeed.

It is ............

over already ,

 now I'm back in cold and drab Hornby 

and Jodi is doing a lot of walking and sitting in sunny Chomthong !
