Sunday Selections # 637

 Long ago, Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if overseas bloggers care to join us.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

Andrew is still on holiday so probably hasn't posted anything.

this is one of the windchimes I have hanging inside, the backing is a cream coloured bed sheet doubling as a curtain until I find something more colourful.

and a closer look

On my porch, my volunteer sunflower has been nipped off by the cockatoos

there is the dead flower head, I pulled the whole plant out and now there aere two new volunteers in its place, still in the tiny two leaf stage.

in the garden, this is my lonely struggling potato plant, the other one died, just disappeared overnight, probably eaten by something. 

here you see all the colourful leaf mulch I gathered and spread has turned brown and is breaking down already, but there are plenty of leaves still falling and I will scoop those up soon to add to my garden.

the paint job I did on the old toy tractor has held up well, it must be three (or four? possibly more?) years already since I painted it. 

here we see Olga minding her chickens

here's a closer look, a friend made her for me and I did the painting of her.

these two are Roscoe the dog and Rosie the cat, they are easily ten years old now and at one point Roscoe's nose rusted completely away and my friend made hime a new one with a two-part product called  "kneadit", tricky to work with as it begins to set almost immediately it is kneaded. Water and weatherproof.

look at my rabbit statue staring at the little boys wondering where on earth they came from.

the second "swedish ivy" has taken off well

this is Ana trying to steal her Mum's Mother's Day breakfast

Gen playing with an early birthday gift, "no-one" took out the gifts last week with the help of a friend and her car (we don't drive)

and Ana with her telephone

here both girls are tearing at the cardboard box holding a multiple choice toy, they have one each and when they are bigger it is also a ride-on toy

Turn your sound up for this next one, I don't think I posted it last week, but if I did it's worth watching again:

they're dancing!
