Summer is on the way.

With Summer almost here, it's time to take a closer look at all the wonderful and healthy vegies in your fruit and veg store, just waiting for you. Have you tried Three Peas in a Pod, the fantastic fruit and vegie emporium on Wondall Road, Manly West. They have a wonderful range of the freshest fruit and vegies, there's heaps of herbs as well as lots of other yummy things. Their staff are so helpful too, a great place to get the greens.

Anyone for Coffee.

Does this image make you feel like making yourself a cup of steaming hot coffee, adding lashings of cream and maybe sugar, then indulging a little more with some lovely dark chocolate? Yes !..... Good.. that's just what I wanted you to say, I want you to look at my images and take on the feeling I'm hoping to convey. You can see more of my images by visiting my web site it's www.margiparton.com and do leave a comment.

You're right, we got into trouble.

Well it was just so tempting, we, (that's Cubbie and me, Archie), both knew the mistress had this wonderful bag of teddies in the cupboard. She's always been most carefull to make sure we're outside so we wouldn't get into mischief, anyway we've had a couple of rainy days and dogs never forget where fun stuff is, especially if it's something they shouldn't get into. So we were caught big time, we ruined two teddies, and the mistress was not impressed. Now we've been banished from the house, we've had to put jumpers on, and really behave ourselves. No digging, no barking, and certainly no chewing or mutilating of teddies. You can see more of the mistresses pictures by visiting http://www.margiparton.com/

Two good mates.

Archie and Cubbie have become the very best of pals, they play together, eat together, and sleep together, they are both such a delight to be around. If only we humans could enjoy each others company as much, life would be so much simpler.

Visit to the Gallery of Modern Art Brisbane.

A visit to the Gallery of Modern Art in South Bank, Brisbane to see the Ron Mueck exhibition was fantastic. The exhibition is running till August 1, so grab a train, get off at South Brisbane and hot foot it to the gallery. Whilst you're there take a look at the Hat Exhibition, that's fantastic too.

Pretty Petunias.

I may have been pretty slack with updating my blog, but I have been busy. Getting out in the garden to have something lovely to show in Spring has been on the agenda, also a quick trip to Sydney, pretty cold and breezy I must say, why wouldn't you live in Queensland.
