A blog written at present from South Africa and updated daily about my life as an expat wife past and present and erstwhile experiences on various mines on the African continent
This time of the year, the sun's rays are still gentle while the air is clear after all the rain. Last week, while strolling, camera in hand through my garden, I saw this beautiful reflection (top and above) of the first water lily in bloom.
I'm South African, and live in a part of my beautiful country with wide open spaces and vistas that
go on forever.
My earliest recollection is of living in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe (then known as Southern Rhodesia) With my family I returned to South Africa in the mid-sixties. Later I met and married the man of my dreams. Since 1990 my husband and I have lived and worked as expats on the diamond mines of Namibia and later, the gold mines in Mali and Guinea, West Africa. Currently my husband is working in the Sudan.
I'm a born-again believer committed to living a Purpose-Driven Life, serving God through my music ministry and obedience to His holy Word.
I love gardening and spend every available hour in my primarily indigenous and waterwise paradise. At the same time, I'm not averse to doing (weather permitting!) "indoorsy stuff" like journaling, scrapbooking, piano playing, writing, cooking/ baking and reading!
So join me on a memorable meander through my garden, while I share God's many blessings with you.

Great reflection captures!
Beautiful capture Jo. It's so nice to see flowers blooming while I listen to the fall wind howl here.
What lovely reflections. It will be a while before we see such beautiful flowers again.
Sunny :)
I really like your header photo. Breathtaking. And the car in the far right corner is awesome.
Beautiful!
It's so neat, Jo, to see 'spring' pictures this time of year. Your reflection picture is great.
Hugs,
Betsy
