New standard roses for our gardenI got away to the garden center today and returned with what you see here. We seldom need a reason to get more roses for our grounds, but this time I thought some standards would be nice for a change.

You can this latest edition to our garden while in the spa, or just sitting at the table in the bbq area. You can  even  smell them if the breeze is blowing in the right direction.

Rosie & Vinnie fresh from the vets It’s grooming time for our dogs Rosie and  Vinnie so, off they went to the vets for their six monthly check and groom and they’ve both come back with a clean bill of health and looking a treat today.  This weekend is a busy one at Olde Millhouse so the dogs are keen to stay looking cuddly and are all ready to greet the guests.

And yes, Vinnie will still race off and find that stick for you to throw.

Banksia Rose in bloomToday I went out to the garden after being away for a while visiting my new Grandson in Auckland, and was struck by the glorious sight of my banksia rose in full bloom.  This is beside the barbeque area and you can also see my paeonies are also in bloom.  Spring is such a delightful time of the year, don’t you think?
