More video today that you might enjoy watching. Alas, poor garden - tis past its best. The heatwave took its toll on the flowers and then we had very high winds. The lack of rain gave us large brown patches in the lawn and then the rain came and made the grass shoot up again but not evenly and him indoors has not had a chance to mow. Also a nice crop of weeds has appeared. Then we had to put down a large piece of green plastic sheeting as the grass was so damp and we did not want our Grandsons getting their clothes wet and stained when they spent yesterday afternoon with us.
If anyone thinks I am kidding saying it is past its best, you should have seen it when the grass was short and before the heatwave struck, but then I had not learned how to put video on my journal.
Guess who forgot to remove an empty flower pot next to the pond? Well, I asked him indoors to do it and...................you know men!
Never mind, it will give you a little idea of what the garden did look like at its peak. Nathan and Daniel still enjoy it whatever it looks like and so do the dogs.
No, I do not appear in the movie. I hate having my photo taken let alone appear on film. I am not the Alfred Hitchcock type who has to appear in everything - I am more a Greta Garbo - "I vant to be alone". Still, you never know, one day I must just surprise you.
Not long now until the Journals 3rd Anniversary celebration on the 21st. So please do not forget to visit Vivian, Donna and Sugar to find out all the latest news about the event. I know there is a photo album being created for all those who did not manage to get on the video made by Stevie. You will find the links on the left under My Favourites.
So, without further ado, here is the film:-
Well, that gave you time to sit back and take a little rest didn't it?
Ho hum, back to the grind - lunch needs to be eaten, there is housework to be done, weeds to be pulled etc. etc.
Hope you are all having a good week.
P.S. The tribute to Rosemary is now closed. I have printed it off and it has been given to Jackie and Ron along with all your messages for them.

I loved your video! you have such a pretty yard and the kids are so cute too... what do you do with the fish in winter? Hope your having a nice day, Sandra
That was delightful Jeannette. Videos are great to keep and look back on they just seem more personal than photos.
The garden still looks good and doesn't it say something about the weather we are having when you are prompted to say it's past it's best and we are only just into August. The choice of music was great too, especially the upbeat tempo of an English Country Garden, Love Pat x.
wow wish someone would push me around in a rideing toy like that. lol
looks like he is almost too big for it. the little one sure did have one leg on adn one off. looked perplexed at the situtation but it was a cute video and your yard looks way better than ours believe me!!!!!!!! we have had such hot temps and no rain for so long that even the rains we got twice over night were of no help . but you have a pretty yard.
AWWWW adorable!!!! Loved the flowers, the pond, the boys, & the other boys! :)
Hugs, Sugar

Hi Jeannette,
Thanks for the tour of your lovely garden and for the chance to see Nathan and Daniel playing. I remember you saying that Nathan loves to feed the fish and I notice Jesse likes to watch them. Hoping that you`ll soon put in an appearance in a video.:o)
Sandra xxxxx
Despite the hot spell the garden still has plenty of colour left! Seems like the boys were having a great time. I hope little Daniel's cough isn't so bad now. Jeannette xx
The garden is so lovely. I have the same bench and angel sitting by mine. Love the gnome. Love your "little" fishy feeder. He's having a great time. Those fish really get into a feeding frenzy, don't they? Love the videos. It will take me forever to figure out how to do them. xxx Chris
Jeannette that was nice to sit back and watch your video ,lovely to see the boys at play and your pretty garden.........Jeanxx
In the video...the fish pond was the best....saw all the fish swimming...you have your own "fishing farm" LOL....all was beautiful...Hugs from KY.....Ora
