My latest flower/coffee post. πŸ˜ƒ

Sharon from Te Atatu South

*YUM!!!!!!!!* πŸ˜ƒ A turmeric latte (Photo 1), a HOT coffee as I'm (or was!) a bit cold - it's a bit rainy and windy outside, and my Double Delight rose is pink with a yellow centre, NOT WHITE, but you can't see properly in the lighting (photos 2 & 3), and YES, I'm slightly mad, I was photographing in the rain. πŸ˜ƒ Photo 4, forget-me-nots in my flower garden, and photo 5, a rather pretty purple weed in my lawn by my flower bed that looks like lavender, hence why I call it Lawn Lavender, and LOOK at how big my pumpkin patch has grown! (Photo 6.) I have at least three larger ones (that I'm sure will become BIG ones!) and quite a lot of smaller ones growing, and red and yellow dahlias in my garden (photos 7-9), and my barrels, positioned under a conveniently positioned leaky gutter (that I hope the landlord won't fix anytime soon!) are nice and full (photo 10), I think I'm going to have to empty them into my IBC behind them if this rain keeps going - that's the white cube-shaped thing behind them that has a steel tubing cage around it, like you see on farms and in crop fields etc. I have two, they hold 1000 litres each.
