BOXING DAY

Cooler here today and a shower first thing which was a good start for a lazy day.  When it cleared I went out to pick some flowers.  I had bought some bamboo jugs to use for water and decided one would make a great vase so picked some crepe myrtle and alstroemeria.


As we went out for a meal yesterday there were no leftovers so I roasted a half leg of lamb with roast vegies.  While I did this Doug put up the "Monarch Butterfly" and lights in a bottle that his youngest daughter had given him. As the bottle is in the shade we are not sure how well it will charge.



We have just finished lunch and it is now time for a siesta (could be a long one).

  1. The monarch butterfly and lights sound interesting. You will have to take a photo.
    Sometimes siestas are essential.

  2. The bottom photo shows the "Monarch butterfly" on the post and "lights in a bottle" hanging from a branch but that is harder to see. If it has charged enough and lights up later I will take another photo.

    1. I have not picked crepe myrtle before but gather they do well as a cut flower.

  5. Your flower arrangement is simple but so pretty. I hope the lights work okay.

    1. We are not sure about them. Daughter bought them on line but the "solar panel" is very small. They didn't light up last night but Doug moved it today so we are hopeful.

  6. The jug and flowers pair well. I love Doug's big, beautiful Monarch.

    1. Pleased with the Monarch. I don't think the Crepe Myrtle are going to last, pity.
