Mr Da Vinci's Rose...

Hello Dharlings...
 the sun was shining brightly today so I managed eventually to drag myself from my death bed and do a quiet lap of the Palais Gardens...



Cecil was blooming beautifully...


Potato Patch corner has started to get underway...
And the Lawn needs mowing again...





The Flag Iris are doing spectacular things...




Then suddenly amid my wanderings I was accosted by some hideous and I think somewhat Psychotic Gnomes...



They started appearing in all directions....



And manifesting in all shapes and sizes



At one stage I felt that I was being followed...
By a gnome playing the piano accordian...

It must have been the delerium

 Until I was suddenly brought back to my senses by this...



It was Mr Da Vinci's Rose...
It's beautiful blooms snapped me from my delerium and the horror of the psycho gnomes...


Thank you Leonardo....

I think I need to have another little lie down now after all the exitement from that little adventure...
And a very large glass of Scotch...

And next time I take a stroll in the grounds I'm taking a big stick...
to ward off the Psychotic Gnome attacks...

Your welcome to join me...

  2. It's late fall here in the Northeastern part of the US and everything is dead or falling off the trees. Nice to see something that's alive and I don't have to rake into a pile.

  7. Bless. The flowers look lovely. Most things are shivering here, waiting to be frozen solid. Ugh.

    I play Sims 3, and it's true. The gnomes follow you around. It's very eerie. At leas you can kick them.

    Ps. Garden excursions with big wood? I'm always up for that.

  8. Dear Xl

    Hey... it even works in gumboots.

    Dear Buzz

    Rest your rake a while and smell the roses!

    Dear Mr DeVice
    EeeGhads... imagine my horror when they started cavorting around the fish pond singing Hi Ho Hi Ho A Gnome I'm going to Blow....


    Dear Mago
    Thank you for the Links...MJ enjoyed them... And i'm still laughing between boughts of coughing...
    Bad flu is all. Nothing too serious but the raging temperatures are a pain... antibiotics seem to be kicking in now...

    Dear MJ
    I am so happy to oblige you in your research. Franconian Gnomes Who would have guessed?...
    Saucy little minxes.

    Dear Pete

    I'm forgetting that you are heading into winter over there...
    It must feel really satisfying to kick a digital gnome. You can kick a real one here at the Palais Dhaarling....

  9. It feels like the mid bleak winter is upon us over here so it's nice to escape to Princess's garden for a bit. Have you tried breeding your very own rose? I can see it now in garden centres around the world "Princess's Pink Flimsy"
