Meanwhile here



My garden this morning and the new door at the entrance to the house. The Blue Angels are two of many that came from my many trips to Greece years ago.                                                                                      The one closest to the door is from Tinos Islad. One of the legs is a little broken, but  I still love him/

  1. I love the angels, and they're from Greece. Im sure theyre helping keep you safe. I have a collection of angels, most of them xmas ones but there are a couple I have on display. It's nice to see them there. They bring good vibes!
    I like your blue door too.

    1. I love everything Greek, food, music, and of course the people who in many ways resemble the people here.

  2. Beautiful garden. I enjoy sitting amongst the flowers in my garden watching the butterflies and bees doing their thing. The ordinary things that make life beautiful.

    1. There are butterflies here too, albeit few, but where there are butterflies there is life.

    1. I'm glad that I finally managed to bring myself to replace a door that had to be replaced for several years.

  4. The October light in Israel is beautiful, shining through the trees on your door and your garden and the angels. The new blue door is welcoming. Always good to hear from you.

  7. What a pretty door! And your garden looks beautiful. So many plants I only know as house plants. May your garden bring you some moments of peace and joy in this time of fear and sorrow.

  8. Your garden is so different to European ones; apart from the Fly Agaric mushrooms.

  9. I got the inspiration for the garden from a Danish garden, I wanted a garden where the main thing would be different shades of green and red, because I don't understand anything about gardening it turned out a bit strange. The mushrooms are made of plaster, sometimes I want to get up in the morning and find fairies sitting on them.

    1. The bougainvillea has been climbing the ancient olive tree for several years.

  11. Six days of shabbatot and yom tovim were a lot of cooking, cleaning, eating and entertaining. So we kept the meals as simple as possible, But your flowers and mine were essential on the dining table.
