{195 Countries Visited - Welcome Papua New Guinea}

Thank you so much for visiting my humble blog and for leaving comments! 

On July 21, Country # 195 visited; welcome Papua New Guinea!

That is quick because on July 9, Country # 194 visited...

Comments are off.


For the Dutch Wednesday is a National Day of Mourning for all the victims of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 and we of course are very much with our birth country in thoughts and prayer...
Also very proud of the way they handled this with respect and dignity with the King and Queen being present in TOGETHERNESS.
Repeat ceremony for today and tomorrow as the other remains will arrive.

{Superbells Yellow Calibrachoa}

A very lovely potting plant which we added to our patio is the Superbells Yellow Calibrachoa.
Have a look at this proven winner which can also be found at The Home Depot.

Better Homes and Gardens write it so well: Calibrachoa is like a tiny petunia on steroids. See link to article below post.

It produces ongoing lots of Superbells in Yellow...

There is a difference with photos taken in the shade versus sunshine but both make this cute plant look good.

Does any of you have one in yellow or in a different color?

{Our Yoga Frogs & Friday's MH17 Flight...}

For his birthday a couple of months ago, my husband Pieter got this trio of very cute YOGA FROGS that now reside on our patio!

Don't you just LOVE these guys?

They are about the true size of a bullfrog.

Just rescued one this week, our cats had brought him inside the staircase area...

They go well with our pots on the patio...

Wishing you a lovely and relaxed Saturday evening + Sunday!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17.
My VandenMunckhof family from Australia did return safely to Kuala Lumpur on the very same MH17 flight; next day from Amsterdam. This flight will be retired next week... Guess my Uncle & Aunt with cousins (8 together) will have arrived by now at their home in Adelaide.

You can see here my 1st cousin Elizabeth being interviewd in Kuala Lumpur by ninemsn news Australia... my aunt to the right.
