 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 other 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.

Beginning today with something I saw on a real estate listing: an older style concrete laundry tub AND it's a triple! Most tubs back then were doubles, triples were mostly out on farms I think. I'd love one of these! (and a laundry big enough to hold it.) Walking around the block recently I saw this beautiful red camellia there's not many left on the tree, the winds have blown them to the footpath I saw this cute little meerkat v...
