Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.
Like River, I generally run with a theme. This week? Not so much. I am running with obsessions instead.
The garden is continuing to give me joy - though it is getting hotter by the day and we badly need rain.
I do love Columbines, aquilegias, Grannie's Bonnets. I picked up these two at Tulip Top Gardens.
Some of my green and white tulips - a joy.
As is this one.
The Snowball tree (guelder rose) is coming into flower beautifully. By the middle of next week those balls will be very, very white.
This cat lives in the lounge room window.
I do love our King Parrots - even when they chew the camellias. Which this one did.
And the next photos are of a present I gave myself. Our poor overworked toilet backed up. Eeeuw. A plumber charged us over $400 to NOT fix it. He also destroyed a garden bed, and committed a number of other sins. Negotiations with the company continue, but I am not going to go quietly.
Since the plumber didn't do the job, (and I refused to pay another one) a trip to the hardware store was in order. While picking up plumbing supplies I noticed they had coloured solar lights - at a price which worked out to less than $1.50 per light - with a years warranty. So I treated myself. I may go back and buy some more too. AND I have fixed the toilet too.
