Good afternoon my dear Blogger friends. As always, I'm glad to get here and do a post.
Last week as Thandi and I were leaving The Bunker (in readiness for the incoming guests), she pointed through car window and said "kwagga". I looked and saw a pair of zebras on the property.

When I sent the image to my friend, Estelle, on the same estate, she responded thus...Steve giving tyhe same pair a tidbit. They also have a bachelor guinea fowl on their property!
I managed Steve and Estelle's art shop in the Valley for two years after Grant's death. They are very dear friends of mine. And oh, Steve cuts my hair every month. 💇
Last week at home, I noticed my Buddleja salviifolia had all but died on the one side. We lopped off the dead branches, dug a good supply of compost into the ground around it and gave it a good soaking. I'm happy to say, ten days on it's looking a lot healthier and greener than the photo below.

On one of the branches, I found this sunbird nest; obviously in between uses
I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here
HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!
Oh wow, I would love to see the zebras, the bunker guest have great wildlife sightings. I am glad you were able to save your Buddleia. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me comment.

ReplyDeleteHow I would love to see zebras. Glad that you were able to save the Buddleah, and love that sunbird nest too.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that, Zebra's stopping by for a treat.
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful animals and it's been years since I saw any (and that was at the zoo). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI like the photo of your friend feeding the zebras and the misty blue mountains in the distance.
