Vintage linen and a spring garden

A recently purchased vintage linen with exquisite crocheted edge

is sprucing up the top of my microwave.

I love my eclectic display

and my african violet is so pretty when it flowers

Outside, spring has sprung and our lavender walk is blooming!

 

This corner of the garden has lavender, shrubs and bearded iris' that all flower in shades of purple

Our pretty climbing pink rose is full of buds and is growing over the arch quite quickly. Hubby now says he wishes he had bought 2 so the arch would be covered quicker. I think it will be complete by the end of summer.

Gordon likes to be photographed I'm sure.

This is his sister Edie, the best mouser in the street.

You would never know they are siblings as they look nothing alike.

Gordon is better friends with our scottish terrier than his sister, as she is a bit of a loner. She does however love my husband and I, just not other animals it would seem.

Thanks for visiting.

Leave me a comment I'd love to hear from you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home again after spinal surgery.

 

So happy to see my little Scotty girl

 after being away from home for so long.

It's so wonderful to be home again, five weeks to the day.

How I have missed being in my own home and seeing my dear hubby and pets.

I had two vertabrae fused with titanium screws

and two new discs and bone grafts.

Last year I had one vertabrae receive the same treatment.

The healing is very different this time.

Less pain but less mobile.

Anyhow I'm hoping for the best and maintain my confidence.

Hopefully I will have less pain, more mobility and more freedom, as I have been mostly housebound for the last 19 years in varying degrees.

I may even be able to do some travel with my DH and hopefully even be able to drive myself around a little or a lot, I'll take either.

Thankyou to all who prayed for me.

I so appreciate it.

You are such gems!!!
