"Tuesday's Treasures."

Hello and Welcome to Tuesday's Treasures.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about two things that are very important to me. Two of my senses,the first one being sight and the second one being smell. Both of these things I treasure most dearly. Having the love of stitching and gardening it is important for me to retain these two things for as long as possible. Quite often I hear from older people that they can't smell roses or flowers. I just cannot imagine this happening to me. I know it will come sometime but in the meantime I am enjoying smelling the roses.


The rose tunnel at the bottom of the garden is blooming beautifully. Can you believe this area was a cricket pitch when David was younger.

Here it is from the other end. The steel pickets are placed a little further out as you go along. This makes the tunnel effect.

We have many Lavender plants in the garden. So lovely to pick a bunch for the home or just to touch and smell your hands as you walk by. Lots of plants have come up from seeds which is a bonus. So this Tuesday I am enjoying walking around the garden smelling and seeing my plants.

Today is also a special day at Kainga. Bonnie celebrates her Birthday today. Happy Birthday Bonnie and all the best for the coming year. Lots of adventures coming your way early next year. Enjoy them.

Please have a look at Melody's blog to see other Treasure's being showcased this week.

Happy days.

    I love your Rose Tunnel, how good it is to stop and smell the flowers. We all should protect our senses, and relax in a garden whenever possible. Birthday Greetings to Bonnie. Cheers R,

    Hi Bev,
    First, I want to send my birthday wishes to Bonne. May this be the best year ever for her. : )
    Me too Bev, I am blessed to be able to have all my senses. Thanks for reminding me of that today, just feeling blue. I need be thankful and remember to be thankful for all the things the Lord has done for me and will continue to do. I have some lavender plants and I enjoy running my hands through them too. It's a great fragrance. Wishing you a beautiful and colorful day.
    Blessings,
    Bobbie Lynn

    Your rose tunnel is amazing, you have a beautiful garden. I agree, there is nothing nicer than 'taking time to smell the roses'.
