For several weeks we've been waiting for a flower bud to open in a pot on Colette's part of the veranda. Between me and Colette, Charmaine manages the off-sales. Last week Charmaine's elderly mum suffered a stroke and passed away suddenly. Charmain was away from work until Wednesday this week. The morning she arrived back at work, the long-awaited bud opened up.
Colette and I dedicated this bloomm to Charmaine in remembrance of her mom's passing
And of course, back on the farm last Sunday, Skabenga and I had several walks. He was delighted !
White-faced Duck...

Whoo-hoo!
He takes great gulps of water as he plodges through the water !
I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here

ReplyDeleteA beautiful day in the valley for you and Skabenga who loves to plodge. I like that word "plodge". I think you're the only one I know who uses it. Sorry to hear about Charmaine's mother passing suddenly. It must have come as a shock. But it was so lovely to read how the flower blossomed on the day she needed it most.
