Wake up. Coffee. Still trying to wake up whilst packing school lunch and bags. Maybe I need to make my coffee a little stronger. Yes, more coffee. Then I walk outside to this. Right in my front yard. My hibiscus trees all in flower. For a moment I feel like like I am in Hawaii. That is enough to lift my spirits today. Have a great day!
Must be all the rain Simone, because mine have burst into flower too. Even though our labrador loves to eat the flower buds off and throw them all over the backyard! K xx
ReplyDeleteCoffee and hibiscus...great combination. We're having to make do in Canberra with the lovely colours of autumn instead...not many pretty flowers left now. Queensland...beautiful one day, perfect the next right?
ReplyDeleteThese gorgeous things remind me of grandmother's country garden. Leigh

These freeze during the winter in Texas. Have to buy them new every year. Your's are lovely.
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous..i have some pink ones too :)
ReplyDeleteOh so gorgeous Simone:) They would put a smile on my face too! Enjoy them ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteWell, we certainly don't have much chance of walking outside and seeing flowers like that at the moment in Melbourne. Will have to settle on some nice new cushion fabric instead perhaps? What a sweet little pick-me-up.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! You must share your gardening tips with us!
ReplyDeleteLove your Hawaii post:)
ReplyDeleteI love hibiscus and have a rainbow of them around my house! Now you just need a cup of Kona coffee to go with your Hawaiian morning.
I also have a question: I am looking to buy some drift wood (thin) to put in a vase. Do you know of any good places to find it (besides the beach:) ?
Aloha Simone! Are you wearing a grass skirt as you pack those bags? Hope you are having a beautiful day, flowers can make you feel so good. If you pop over to visit & manage to get past the initial Richo photo's I have some gorgeous flowers that I am LOVING! xo
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed....I would love to have those beauties in my yard. Have a great great day. xoxox
