to brighten your wintry days.







This daisy bush is in my own front yard.

    Hi River,

    Ah winter - a distant memory. We are basking in temperatures of 25 degrees here in Manchester.

    Nice photos.

    Eryops.
    A most rewarding plant, as most silver-leaved are.
    No good as cut flowers though, so don't put yourself to the disappointment, but in the garden they survive total neglect.

Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
