Isn't this the happiest little sheep you ever did see?
This is an Annie Down's stitchery called Summer Frolic and found in an old Australian Country Threads magazine (I don't know which one since I enthusiastically tore lots of my patterns out to put in folders!!!)
(thanks Jeanette for showing me this one...... love it...I loved this movie and this caption is great)
The heatwave is over... the plants are happier though we need rain
I just love this bromeliad flower.. so symetrical...
the birds are happier.... so many rainbow lorrikeets the last few mornings... I love that most of them are in pairs and a bunch of youngsters.. the noise is pretty intensive as they squabble quite a lot .
.... the couples mostly sit in pairs and do a lot of smooching.. the youngsters still fly around a bit silly and often hit my window... so I have several frights before my second cup of coffee!

ReplyDeleteSheep is cute but those birds are amazing and most be wonderful to watch. You must have sent the heat this way going to be a stinker for the next week.
ReplyDeleteYes, a very happy sheep - obviously not from the drought areas I think. Love your bromeliad. I hope to "see" you tonight - now that I know it is Friday. I lost a day somewhere, I thought it was Thursday today. I think that is called holiday mode isnt it?
ReplyDeleteHugs xx
So cute! but I'm still laughing at the "I see Quilt People".....too funny.
ReplyDeleteThat sheep is full of energy!! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteGlad the weather is being a bit kinder to you, your garden and the birds.
Lovely pics of the garden and garden visitors. That bromeliad is stunning!
