Thanks on behalf of Jo for all your good wishes for her son Shaun. He had his surgery yesterday and so far so good. Spoke to Jo this morning and she is relieved that at least the surgery is over after such a long wait.
The weather has turned cooler now and is pouring with rain, such a change after five days of extreme heat.
I had a wander around the garden yesterday to see how the flowers had coped with the heat, most had survived but this poor one looked rather frazzled.
Just off to the airport to pick up a friend who has been in Melbourne for a week. It was the first time she was able to fly down there for over a year. We are taking her out for dinner tonight as she won't be able to stock up with groceries until tomorrow.
What a beauty, not too frazzled with lovely papery petals and still standing tall. You sure have a busy schedule Babs, always on the go. I could not do that :-)
This is a beauty! I enjoy any flower in any part of it’s life! Glad to hear the surgery is over! My father had brain surgery to remove a tumor and remember how frazzled we all were!
Glad to hear it has gone well so far. Cheering him on for his recovery. Hope you have a lovely time with your friend. Wow, a flight! Seems like another world almost.......
So glad Shaun has got his op out of the way, now we have to wait to see how he does...lots of prayers needed! Flowers are beautiful even at this stage....
Funny that we have both posted a photo of a flower past it's best..

Glad you liked my frazzled flower. I think it looks quite beautiful at this final stage of its life.
