Thursday is spent! Good evening - what a beautiful day it was and how lucky I was to spend most of the day in my garden. Now I am a little exhausted from all the raking, forking, digging and sweeping and I bet that tomorrow my gleutus maximus aka my 'butt' is going to show signs of fatigue and pain!!! "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." Marcus Tullius Cicero My garden, my books my coffee and I am Queen! The challenge is about flowers, so here is a wonderful waterlily - photo taken a while ago in a pond on the Golf Course.

I fully agree with Cicero, I have my garden and we have a library in the house, I cannot ask more.

I hope your gleutus maximus doesn't hurt too bad. Great picture of the water lilies.

@Inlemay That's good then. I would hate to think you were in a great deal of pain today.

That's a lovely photo. I have hundreds of books but the computer has sort of taken over from them. I do love my garden though.

Your Lilly flower is looking awesome. Loved it. I have a small terrace garden. I love flowers and plants. It is winter here in New Delhi and it is the best season for new plants. In winters flowers survive for longer duration and one could enjoy watching them. Here is a rose from my garden. I do not have any library as such. However, I love to read books and magazines etc.
