{World Animal Day 2013 and My First Pets}

Let me introduce my favorite Dachshund Mauzie-girl to you:

This photo was taken in our garden in The Netherlands by my brother Martin Van den Munckhof

Showing you our Mauzie in Paris, France – a trip during summer, when we took my Parents along after helping them pick their gherkins in the greenhouses very tight so we could 'skip' one day. Next day it was back to the greenhouses again by 4:00 AM for picking lots of them. I've always helped my Parents out during my summer vacation when I took time off from my Government job.

They worked hard all their lives and never got to escape to some scenic places otherwise.

I'm so glad I did take them along! 

Fond memories...

{Our Fragrant Hoya Carnosa - Wax Plant}

A treat for the hummingbirds is our fragrant, honey dripping Hoya Carnosa or Wax Plant. Husband Pieter did capture them on camera for you to enjoy. Does any of you also keep this lovely plant?

You can find a variety of Hoya carnosa plants at Logee's  by just typing in this name into the search box.

My husband Pieter captured this photo on June 17. Our Hoya Carnosa is outdoors so the hummingbirds can freely feast on their sticky honeydew.

Side by side with our Orchid Cactus on their pedestal...

Indoor plants are nice but being able to have them outdoors is even better!

Here they are on July 20, in our gazebo on the railing where they can trail freely as well.

This is hummingbird domain...

Enough sticky honeydew drippings for their daily meal...

Have you ever caught on of these sweet honeydew drippings with your finger to taste?

It sure tastes sweet!
