One Flower Wednesday/ Great Mail and a finish.

I am a little late posting my flower this week as we had a power blackout sew could not post earlier.
My DD1 gave me this cute little fella to put in the garden.I brought him inside and sat him on my kitchen bench and he did give me enough light to wash my dishes by. thanks Jo!!

Powers back on Yeh!!

I took the photo of my Flower in a native shrub growing in our front yard this afternoon. As it is Spring in Aussie it is covered in beautiful little white bottlebrush flowers that have a lovely scent.

    Love the bottlebrush flowers. I wish my postman had been as generous as yours - Lots of nice things for you to play with. Lacy looks like she rules the house now.

    How annoying not having any power. At least you didn't have to do any vacuuming of ironing! lol It's so nice getting parcels in the mail. Yummy fabrics. Can't wait to see what you have planned for them. Hugs, Christine

    Hello Maria,

    Lovely post and how lucky to be given that chicken by your daughter. Having no power is a real pain. Your puppy is right at home,I wonder how many pats a day she gets.
    Happy days.
