Storms and cubbies

After almost two weeks of very warm - one could say hot - weather, a cool change blew in. Unfortunately it blew in a little too hard and the result was this:-


It was such a waste! Poor David - he had lots of seedlings and indoor plants (recovering from being indoor plants I should say) in there. Unfortunately it's beyond repair :(

The cool change also brought a little rain. I was doing housework inside when I realised that I had not heard from Louis for a little while. I found him outside.....



He was having a lovely time, singing and chatting to himself and keeping those whole 18 drops of rain off him!

I left him waiting for more rain - it would have been nice if it had rained more, but unfortunately it was not to be.

On the crafting front, I have made a couple more bags which I will post about later. Things are hectic at the moment - the year is coming to and end - I don't think I'm the only slack blogger out there though????

cheers

What a shame, all the plants ruined. I finally get things done by less blogging and less commenting... I know exactly where you come from!

That's one happy umbrella!
I'll send some rain your way!

Man that must have been a pretty mean wind!
I feel sorry for David - all that tender care wasted!
We recently came up to the country house and found our spouting dislodged and hanging in the big camellia tree.
I like that the skateboard is under the umbrella too! That skateboard is nearly as big as Louis.

You have a small version of Gene Kelly from the movie "singin in the rain" in your garden. I hope for him more rain next time! Sorry the wind ruined all your plants!

Hi,

Thanks for stopping by my blog, I know what you mean about noisy we are trying to tech our little one the difference between indoor and outdoor voices and that the loudest one does not necessarily get listened to first!!

No you are definately not the only one! I have been a little slck on the blogging front too! Cute umbrella!

Madi said...

Has Jani seen those pics? I bet she'll love to see the umbrella being used!

David will recover from the damage though - you just need to find the right distractions!

And thanks for your help with the bag today - who knew I'd ever get around to finishing it ;)

What a disaster for David. If we only lived closer I would share my seedlings with you guys.

I have always wanted one of those happy umbrella's....oops cubby! Love the cheeky little face under it. Louis would get on fabulously with my teenage skater boy.
