Finally they were open.....

They are so gorgeous these passion flowers, aren't they !?!?

I've been trying to photograph them for a couple of weeks now,

but everytime I walked by the flowers were closed....

not this time though = )

I bought them myself the last time I was at our local garden center for half price ! These however I saw growing through someone gate when I went for a walk one day to get my strenght back after the operation. But like I said everytime I wanted to photograph the flowers they were closed and passion flowers only grow until the end of September they say, haha so just in time... right =P

Hopefully my passion flower will have the same gorgeous flowers next year !? ; ) I just really love this plant..... those cute little "curly fingers" with which the plant holds on to everything so it can grow.... they look funny, like the spring in a clothespeg, haha.... and they are strong as well

(see first picture on the bottom/middle of the photo)

Although I don't need an "excuse" to eat a Magnum, hahahaha =P

Too early for a Christmas tree....... !?!?

Hmmm.... I guess it's too early for a Christmas tree,

isn't it !?!? =P

I was just at our local garden center (Intratuin) where they are getting everything ready for Christmas.... for Christmas !?!?.... yes for Christmas !!

I know it's just September but I love it when stores are getting ready for Christmas =P

Although the end of October or the beginning of November would be early enough, don't you agree !?

Anyways, for the last 3 years I was too late for the right seize soft pink Christmas (balls) ornaments, but not this year..... hahaha.... now I finally got my soft pink balls, haha =P

The smaller ones are a different shade of light pink and taupe..... perfect for my new room !! ; )

Speaking of my room........... I need to get painting again ! = )

But I just had to show you guys the Christmas balls first, haha......

Borders are painted.....

I've just finished painting the borders around the bare wall and now it's time for..... coffee !! = )

------------

I was just in the garden giving a few plants some water and saw this.....

...... uhhhh no it's not a garden ornament, haha it's a real toad or is it a frog !?!?

I can never tell the difference ; )

One wall is finally bare......

Pffffff..... one wall is finally bare, please buy a good stripping liquid when stripping wallpaper !!

I bought this product from a brand called OneParel and it SUCKS let me tell you, just buy good old Perfax.

You only need two small bottle caps of this stuff in 2,5 litre of water and 200ml of the "none working" stuff and then it still doesn't work =/ It makes the job so must easier when you use Perfax stripping liquid  ; )

Tomorrow I'm painting the borders around the bare wall first and then when the paint had time to dry ask my mom to help me wallpaper the first wall ! = )

When that's finished move everything back into it's place and start moving all the stuff and furniture on the other side of the room, haha.... and start again =P

Nature can be beautiful and cruel at the same time......

On Sunday I already showed you guys these gorgeous Dutch roses and now two days later they are getting open which makes them even more beautiful, don't you agree !?

I just love to photograph them......

..... then I went into the garden and saw this huge bumblebee, because this one was I think 3cm's while other bumblebees are about 1cm big.... it had "trouble" walking on the flowers to get nectar, haha ; ) Did you know bumblebees could get this big !?!?

And then I saw this huge spider, also about 3cm's big that had caught a wasp for breakfast !

Yes.... nature can be beautiful and cruel at the same time ; )
