The above photo is of a tree that was here when we moved in. It was, at that time, well above the eavestrough on the front of the house but had sick branches and was out of control so one fall I “trimmed” it back. I had just bought new hedge cutters and must admit [Read more]
If I had to single out one activity as Emeraude’s favourite, it would definitely have to be Play-doh. Any opportunity she has to choose an activity whether home, at the family place or at her Dad’s Play-doh is always her first choice. I must add that it is also a favourite of mine. If [Read more]
