Some fairly recent pictures of new projects in & around our house, our gardening attempts, and of course our canine darling beauties. Here’s the most beautiful (and grumpiest) of all: Tsarina Lisa.
We finally started finishing the roof terrace on top of our bedroom. The roofing over the terrace is supposed to cool down the bedroom, and provide a dry & cool place to sleep during the hottest summer nights. and to add a cool party place with a magnificent view to our premises.
This project will also add a cool party place with a magnificent view to our premises.
View from the deck around the hot tub.
Finally a bookcase; having all our books in crates was really not handy!
In the middles of this purple stuff there is a baby lemon tree.
Meanwhile Bram’s rock pigeons chased the sparrows from their nesting place. After adding some wire the nest could hold mom & dad fatso and their chicks.
Our girls.
New dog hobby: sit underneath the nest, stare at it with open mouths, and just keep hoping these delicious snacks will tumble down from heaven.
Our attempts at creating a green wall around the plot are already working out at some spots. The flamboyant tree we raised from seeds last year.
In between neighbour mme Binkie and us we try to keep the soil free from weeds as required by the village rules, and make a goat- and cow-resistant cactus & aloe‘garden’ to prevent soil erosion and to have something nice to look at.
One of the succulent borders; this ‘originally from Madagascar’ plant is producing babies like there is no tomorrow.
Baby baobab in between the famous purple stuff that we use all over the garden to prevent soil erosion and have something flowery to look at.
Aussies Moira & Nadia enjoying a well earned rest after another night of guarding the premises. Or was it one of their many ‘chase the effin’ monkeys’ efforts during the day?
