{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.

{Lush Green Garden}

So far this summer we have had lots of late afternoon rain with often thunder. Needless to say that we do have quite a LUSH, GREEN GARDEN...

It looks almost tropical and the weeds are of course growing fast too...

The gazebo is being dwarfed by such huge trees!

Our Windmill and Canary Island palms look happy too...
The Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold (r) is now less golden as in the spring.

{Bay Window Patio with Potted Herbs}

We have been steadily adding potted plants and I also did order some special herbs such as Mentha piperita citrata, Lemon Grass, Spanish Thyme which also is called Cuban Oregano. 

This mint is supposed to be the one that fine restaurants use to decorate their desserts...

Here the patio is still empty but I love this photo because of the special light through the dogwood branches...

A nice place for hummingbirds to come to one of the feeders which is visible from our kitchen bay window.

The top photo was taken after 5:00 PM and the one below after 1:00 PM and the light is always changing!

Together with our Fiberglass Window Boxes from Flower Framers of Cincinnati, it is a nice addition to the Bay Window Patio.
Lemon grass is standing tall already in its pot to the left.

Hope everything will grow well and that we can use it this season or next...

Do you also grow some herbs?
