A morning at granny's house

My mom lives ina  retirement village - right at the dead end of a quiet little "street" that serves 8 units.. The perfect place to ride your bike (and yes, no helmets, but no traffic there). We spent a delightful morning with her the Saturday of the long weekend. Her garden is always fantastic.









One stem of orchids - the hearts pink or white. Fascinating.
So whic picture is your favorite? I love the first one.

  1. Can see that your children also enjoy the time with their grandparents as much as mine do :)
    Love all the beautiful flowers.

  2. i like three! For different reasons!

    I love the boys working - because that's my thing (child labour - yessssss), the first pic is GORGEOUS photography and I love the yellow flowers because it makes me feel happy :)

    I'm so envious of your mom's gorgeous garden!

    1. Me too- but she has the time to spend on it, and lots of sun which we do not have

  5. They're all lovely, my favourite? The boys cleaning their milkshake mess - that's priceless and a keeper for their 21st one day! :)

  12. Pics are beautiful. Love the one with Princess on her bike. And Child2 LOVES cleaning up - it's definitely not a punishment in these parts.

  13. All beautiful pictures. The flowers are stunning and the kids are happy.

    I'll probably make myself your boys' lawyer and sue you for child labour, you'll receive your summons in the mail (LoL). Can I come get them to clean up my driveway? They sure were enjoying cleaning up

  15. I love seeing the kids playing in the road like we did when I was growing up. You don't see that much anymore (for good reasons).

    I love the 2nd last pic. Reminds me of a trip in the Namaqua :)
