I see trees of green, red roses too...

My hubby is so patient - he got this lovely photo of the honey eater looking in the window!  She is still sitting in the nest,  and comes out every now and then to sit here and catch any unsuspecting bugs that fly by.  

We also have a nest out in the front, so hopefully we will have baby photos soon! 

 The orchid has flowered - a long arching branch that had to be tied back.  It is a gorgeous buttery yellow colour.  I have it in an old copper jug tied to the tree, I had read somewhere that orchids like to grow in copper.

 I hope it is not stressed by the sunlight, but it never did flower when it lived in a more shady position.  My orchid flowers never last for months the way other peoples do.... so I tend to spend a lot of time admiring them before they fade away.

 Such delicate coloring,   I am in awe that such beautiful flowers come from such an untidy looking plant, and they just get all their nutrients from the air and the rain!

I am so blessed to be able to look out in the garden and see beauty like this every day.
I am also blessed to have such a wonderfully patient and kind husband who puts up with my disappearing off into the garden for hours on end.
  Our 7 year anniversary is coming up, and he bought me 7 long stemmed red roses - aren't they lovely?

 I really am very spoiled and don't say it often enough - you are one in a million  my love,  and I love you very much.
I think this quote by Hugh Walpole sums up our life together perfectly
“The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.”
