AN AUTUMN RHYME for autumn time ... :o)

lol love it Terra especially truffle waiting for lunch haha, lovely pics to go with the poem to :o)) x

Great Blog TT...... :))) turned cold here today.... :))

some lovely plants and beautifully behaved and good looking dogs. doesnt that magic marlot and the ginger ale look really good against the background colours.

When I see our Terratoonie
has written us a blog
you can guarantee
( 'tween you and me)
that it will contain a dog
sweet Conker there so hard a work
and Truffle looking on
to flowers, plants all bright and fine
( I think Tt must make them shine)
especially for us to cheer
now winters very nearly here.....

Thanks Terra-- It cheered me today xxx

That was great TT ! Brightened up my achey day lol.
I hope Truffle didn't have to wait too long for his lunch. He looks very patient ;o)
And clever Conker, able to count the leaves aswell as sweep them up :o)
Your plants look wonderful and healthy aswell ....

are you aching too Hywel-- it must be the weather...:o((

Great blog and poem Terra, all is looking lovely in your garden, love the Magic Marlot and Heathers in a line, great pictures of Truffle [very inquisitive expression!] and Conker looking so beautiful and healthy;0))

gorgeous Terra - love the james roof catkins one - have a mini one too :))) is that sour grapes Penstemon ? love your plants so beautiful like your dog is too :)))))))))))))))))))

Great TT;-)

Thanks Sandra, Holly, Sticki, Pam, Holly, Carole, and Paul...

A friend gave me the penstemon... she thought it was Czar ...

Truffle was good to sit for the pic when it was almost lunchtime ...

I hope everyone's aches and pains go away... I have jaw-ache, so can sympathise ... !

lol - I think I should have been one of the Hollys :o)

It isn't the weather Pam - it's a backward fall down a 7 foot drop and landing on my shoulders :/
Hope you'r not too achey TT

How you do it I don't know but your rhyming blogs are always good & I like them very much! Just wish I could emulate you!

Why does your jaw ache? Is it toothache or did you receive a swipe from on of your dogs tails? LOL! Hope you get better quickly!

Hello Hywel .. I hope your back feels better soon ...
My jaw is worse today ... waiting for Thursday and the consultation appointment ...

Thanks Balcony .. jaw-ache no fault of my pets, but a wrong size tooth crown, fitted by dentist :o(((

ouch! Terra

that sound nasty Hywel.....

can't think of anymore 'doggerel' Terra so hope we're all feeling better tomorrow

Hi again Pam...
let's hope we all feel more perky soon :o)

are lovely to see the sun shineing , and the boys are lovely as ever !! nice ryme too .............. how are you xx

Hi Cristina .. Nice to see you on GoY.
I bet you've been busy ! Hope you are well. xxx

great blog Conker and Truffle are gorgeous.

Another classic.........what can one say other than GREAT blog TT...

Thanks Dotty ... lovely sunny day today :o)

Great blog ... loved the poem & the pics ... it has brightened a wet, cool spring day over in my little corner of the world. Your dogs are gorgeous too. My little guy always wants to be the star when I am carrying the camera round the garden.

Hi Dwyllis in the wet New Zealand springtime ...

Many thanks ..
Yes, my dogs are the same as yours, in that they know immediately if I am taking the camera outside... they get quite impatient if I start photographing plants instead of dogs ! Lol...

Lovely blog, Terra, that's a beautiful Winter Jasmine ... I hope your aching jaw is less painful before too long ... :o)

Thanks Shirley ...
I have quite a number of Winter Jasmines around my gardens... many grown from cuttings .. :o)

Oh, well done, Terra ... I need to cover some boring bare fence but am reluctant to use Ivy as the neighbours, lovely though they are, will not take kindly to it coming through their side! ... I already worry about the Ivy growing on the back fence ... keep pulling it back through from the trellis top ... lol! ... Perhaps a Winter Jasmine is the way to go . . . . .

One of my neighbours grows ivy like a crop ... It invades through my fences ..... yes ... winter jasmine is a good idea, and I've also planted Trachelospermum jasminoides up fences ... some in sun, some in shade...

In the shade, they don't always flower, but make a nice green backdrop... you can see an example of that on the photos of my pergola ..

here is a link ...
... I know you are good at links ;o)

... in this pic. you can see Trachelospermum jasminoides making a nice green "curtain" behind the white bird-bath, and further along the fence I have winter jasmine.

Always a lovely blog from you Terra, your plants always do you proud and we all know how good the boys are at posing.
Hope you get rid of your jaw-ache asap, something like that always drags you down..

Thanks Lincslass ...
... the jaw problem has been ongoing for months ... needs to be sorted !!!
Garden and pets are keeping me cheerful :o)

Lol, Terra ... good at links ... I found the pic and remember it well, many thanks ... but I was probably looking at the Roses at the time! ... It's so lovely not to see the garden fence ... I have Pyracanthas and there is a lovely Montana coming from a garden somewhere along the road ... I think about 4 of us have it but nobody seems to know where it starts from ... lol! ...

Hi TT love your little poems etc cheers

Glad you found the link, Shirley ;o)

Thanks Oldcrock :o)))

Aw thats lovely :))))))))))))

T, don't let it get you down
Make your dentist fix that crown

Er, I got stuck after that and had to go and lie down (that doesn't scan at all)

Hope all goes well at your appointment.

Thank you Frybo, and, forsooth,
I will sort the painful tooth ...
Paying dentists makes you poor ..
Shouldn't end up with an aching jaw ... :o(((

Excellent poetry from East Lothian ;o)
Thanks for your kind words ...

I feel like one of my tortoises, TT, always lagging behind and trying to catch up! Really enjoyed your rhymning blog and seeing all your photos :)

Hello Gee ... Thanks ..
You feel like one of your tortoises ?
.... so, you are living in the lap of luxury, with the best gourmet greens and vegetables ... Lol... ;o)

That brought a smile to my face.I loved it . Thanks Terra .

Hi Rose ...
Thank you... pleased it made you smile :o)

Hello TT! Lovely blog! Sorry, I'm a lag behind Lizzy this weather, what with this and that. It looks like you'll have to get the gorgeous Conker to wag that great fluffy tail of his a bit harder to sweep all those pesky leaves off your lawn! ;0) I hope you feel better soon.x

Hi Libet ... Thank you ...
I'm thinking of sending Conker out onto my lawns with his toy carpet sweeper ... to collect up the leaves :o) x

Your garden and boys are looking great and blooming as ever. Do you think Conker would like to come over here and sweep up all the leaves that seem to blow in through my front door from the street .... Giorgio would willingly share his bowl with him !!

Hi there Terry60 .. Thanks ...
Lovely to see you back on GoY :o)))
Conker would gladly help with your sweeping ...
And he would cuddle up with Giorgio ;o)

Oh and tell Conker to bring his earplugs as Giorgio now snores (honestly!) :)

Lovely photos TT, your garden is looking fantastic as always. Great to be able to really enjoy the Autumn in the garden.

Thanks Bob ...
It's been a great autumn for garden flowers, hasn't it.
