Happy Saturday!
I have been quite busy for the past few days. I have been trying to do some serious spring cleaning and am going about it quite slowly. Gone were the days when I can clean the whole house in one day all by myself, starting from early morning to past midnight. Now I am going about it in a much slower pace to avoid getting body aches. The aches is a reminder that I am no longer young as before.
Today I am sharing some photos of flowers from my own garden. Some are doing very well in spite of the very hot weather or very heavy downpour.

Red Periwinkle.
White Dwarf Mexican Petuania - grown from self-seeding.
Red Bauhinia at front fencing.
Pink Dwarf Mexican Petunia - in a large fountain bowl.
Sand Ginger or Cekur - white flower.
Japanese Roses - Orange and Deep Pink, single layered petal.
This is Fido, my hair dresser's dog.
Yesterday I was there for a hair cut.
Sometimes she barks at me, sometimes she doesn't.
Yesterday she didn't bark at me. Then when I sat down, she started to bark.
After a while, she jumped onto the settee
After a while, it went to sleep. I too felt like sleeping in the air-con room in a hot afternoon.
Spotted this dog doing his "small" business.
After he is done, he turned around and used his hind legs to kick dust/dirt at the tree.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a godly man
and stay in his home until you leave for the next town.
When you ask permission to stay, be friendly,
and if it turns out to be a godly home, give it your blessings;
if not, keep the blessing.
Any city or home that doesn't welcome you -
shake off the dust of that place from your feet as you leave.
(Matthew 10:11-14, TLB)
Oh, Fido is incredibly cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jocee for your visit and comment. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteNancy, you have such pretty flowers in your garden! Your hairdresser's dog is so furry and cute :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phong Hong. Fido is actually very tidy and light. His fur makes him looks fluffy.
DeleteLovy flowers . Some plants are loving the fine weather we having noe
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. I am now shifting some of the plants away from direct direct sunlight and some from too much rain water.
DeleteThe work in the garden is never ending. Tdy germinating some cili padi seeds...my cili padi going to konk out soon. Kena attack.
DeleteHouse still tarak "wind" to clean yet. Lol
Oh yes, I know what you mean. No matter how much time we spend in the garden, it is never enough. The heavy downpour is destroying my chili seedlings. I am forcing myself to clean house a little at a time, now almost down except the kitchen.
DeleteTake it easy...we no longer young anymore :p
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elin. I am now taking it very, very easy. So easy until I have become so lazy. Lol!
DeleteI really like the Mexican Petunias Nancy & the dark leaves makes the flowers stand out more. Also the Japanese Roses are beautiful too. Fido is cute, she looks like a Poodle, we have a black Toy Poodle, she's our 4th Poodle we've had now & they are just the sweetest little dogs. I wouldn't have any other breed for an inside dog. Plus no shedding is a big bonus for an inside pet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tony. If I do want to keep a pet dog in future, I will consider keeping a Poodle. I like the no shedding part, that will be a plus point.
DeleteI have the purple flower & japanese roses. The purple & white flower is the same type of flower, rite. I am also working at slow pace now, no more spring chicken, hahaha!!!...just trying my best to clean as much as I can only.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers have 3 colours: pink, purple and white. We now cannot do too much in one day, have to space out the work.
DeleteYou take care of your garden very well, all plants look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marleen. Have a beautiful weekend!
DeleteHello Nancy!:) I like your Mexican Petunias, they make a beautiful show of flowers when they open, and the Japonese Rose is so pretty.

DeleteYour flowers are so beautiful. I had to laugh after I read the bible passage about shaking the dust from our shoes,... after I saw what the dog did, lol.
ReplyDeleteLaughing is so good for our health.

JB

DeleteNancy I am waiting for summer and beautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteHi Gosia. I am also looking forward to your summer & beautiful flowers photos. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteI went to a hair salon once where little doggies roamed around. I felt it really added something to the experience. I guess some people could be offended or allergic or whatever, but they were little dogs like that one, so it wasn't like they were scary or anything!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, I understand for those who doesn't like animals or those who are allergic to the furs, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience to them. I think it is usually the little dogs that are kept in the house. I too wouldn't dare go near the big dogs.
DeleteI love your garden Nancy. The little dog Fido is cute and the other dog is very nice too. I'm impressed that you are doing so much cleaning. I find it difficult to do big cleaning jobs these days because just doing the daily work keeps me busy so many hours of the day! Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday ♥ and a good week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joyful. Lately I am only doing cleaning bit by bit. Prefer to take it easy and go about it slowly. Have a wonderful & blessed Sunday too! Enjoy your week ahead also!
DeleteLovely flowers !! Your Fido is adorable :))
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Thank you, Ela. Have a lovely day!
