Sunday Selections # 647

 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 join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

windswept clouds that greeted me

as I left the local supermarket last week

Can you guess what I was making?

Brownies, fresh from the oven

the all-important fresh-from-the-oven taste test. mmm, deliciously fudgy.

I tried a new brand of pasta last week, probably this has been available for a while but I haven't been buying ravioli since last winter, it's very nice. Dare I say better than the Latina brand? Yes I do. It's better.

I added an extra garlic clove to the sauce as I always do, look at the size of it next to my teaspoon.

While waiting for a bus to go and visit with the twins I watched this whatever it is, moving and spreading soil on that block across from my bus stop in preparation for new buildings. I was fascinated by the cab being able to turn 360 degrees.

getting off the bus at the twins end of town I saw these pretty flowers on a bush taller than me

this is what the leaves look like, anyone know what it might be?

much closer to home, right next door in fact, this is a small section of the neighbour's footpath garden

it has clumps of paperwhite jonquils throughout

as well as snowdrops, many other plants too, including rose bushes that have been pruned down to be almost invisible.

and a small spread of this pretty leafy plant which looks as if it is frosted. I'm hoping it will grow from a cutting because I took a tiny piece.

this is one of the many pictures I have blu-tacked to my wall, Yoda: Do or Do Not, There is No Try. 

a package arrived last week, tiny shoes and slipper boots I had ordered for the girls, who are both now walking.

here is Ana with a vegemite smeared chin, her hand is on the edge of the five inch step down into the sunroom/playroom, they learned to crawl up and down that very quickly.

and here is Gen with her vegemite smeared face, standing by the safety gate that closes off the kitchen.

this is their new favourite hiding place, under the dining table.

This is Genevieve wearing Daddy's hat.
