It's got so hard for me to keep my blog going. Do I really want to keep telling you what I do each week? Do you really care? Is something that happens any more significant because it's seen?
Maybe it is, to anyone creative. Zara and Biscuit, the Dynamic Duo, have been caught out here eating crackers. What sort of dog or cat eats crackers? I don't know. I was feeding them to the birds. But then Zara got interested, and then Biscuit got interested.
It's got to be a little bit unpleasant here, what with the temperature getting to 38 degrees Celsius, but NOTHING can stop a dog and a cat in need of some action. Faisal meanwhile is sitting down under the shade of the mulberry reading Australia's best newspaper, The Age, a newspaper that never veers to the left or the right but keeps an open mind and an open heart.
Zara nibbles. Biscuit nibbles. We're all crackers, in some way or other. I will have to keep the blog going. The wind is blowing out there. Soon it will get hot inside the house too. Me, I nibble on hope, hope that everything everywhere will turn out fine. And with two little crazy crackers such as these two -
- I know that it will. What I get to see, which photographs fail to capture, is the unending playfulness between these two. Never has either of them been hurt, but to see them chase about, you'd think you were watching World Championship Wrestling.
This then is my back porch. The little girls are growing admirably. We must love, must we not, wherever we are, whoever we are among?
It's too easy. Gardening's hard work and I sometimes couldn't care less if what I do gets noticed by anybody. What I care about are the lives around me, which, to me, never die.
Keep blogging ! You are one of my lifelines to creativity.
ReplyDeleteI will be, Paul. You know, meeting people like you has made all the difference.
DeleteFrankly F, you don't have a birdbath project..get with it dear boy and get with the swing!
ReplyDeleteBilly, you are my favourite garden man and you always will be.
Deletewe are having a cool evening, before the next heat wave rolls in.
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer than the evenings, when there's a breeze and a good chair! Diana, we've actually been really lucky this year with the weather - never too hot for too long, many mid-20s days, no harsh winds. A very happy new year to you!
DeleteWell I love calling from t'other side of the earth, and finding out what you're up to. And the cat and dog adventures, too! Happy Xmas, and New Year.
ReplyDeleteI love having visitors, Jan, especially from the other side of the earth! This blog's always been multi-themed, so I guess I'll be posting a few more dog/cat adventures. They're too much fun to ignore!
Deleteyour fur friends are good for you, i think!
ReplyDeleteYou've hit the nail on the head, Velma!
ReplyDeleteI missed this! Faisal, keep blogging please! I find it hard, you find it hard, but it really is so worth it when you get to have conversations with people you may never meet but feel you know. I often have subjects I want to talk about but get cold feet at the thought of boring people and those are the times I have long gaps between posts. I'm going to try to to blog more often and keep it light. Please don't stop!
