dear friends.. i am still working on the bloglovin..

Early morning.

All though the night, I could hear ..baaaahing ..baaaaahing.  It was most decidedly a little baby lamb trapped or something and left behind as i shooed them back over the fence with jeffrey and issa.

Yesterday, I caught the next door shepherd letting his farmers sheep over my fence and into my fields.
I know the man , his family live down the road.. and he is helping out, i couldnt bring myself to be angry with him as he is a little slow as to say and always smiling.   I was however so very annoyed.
I said my bit to him, in the nicest way, and  he appologised  and I asked him not to do it again...

   It kept me awake most of the night.  And the dogs wanted to go out and see what was happening.
When I woke early this morning.  I now wake around 6.30 as its really one of the best times of the day.
The heat here now is up into the high 30º's.. 36. 38. 39.. and climbing.
You cannot believe what woke me from my sleep again.. All the sheep were drinking at my horse trough.. and enjoying the delights of my fields again.   I have electric fences.. but not where they get over.  The shepherd has totally destroyed my fence letting the sheep jump over.. he has pushed it down with his foot.
..  I think I might have written about this happening a couple of years ago.
So its of to Mr. B the farmer later today.. to ask him please to fix my fence and not allow the sheep in.
Only in the country..! could this happen.  But it makes to part of the day and adds a little excitement.

                                 Pascoa and Shilah-- waiting for me to fill up the trough again..

                                   under the shade ofthe olive tree.  They are always together.

                                If you look carefully. I took this a couple of mornings ago.. I have a white decorative cage.. its ready for some new decoration on my verandah.. every morning at around the same time this bird comes to perch on top of the cage.  I am going to leave the door open and put some bird seed in there.. see what happens.. I tried to lift the blind..but he then flew away.

sitting down with a glass of cold water after my morning fiasco.. Jeffrey -Cassidy is looking at me from his favorite place as if I am mad.. what have you been doing mummy. 

wishing you all a happy Friday.     http://valrosa59.blogspot.   Thank you to my friends that have already joined me again.. I hope to see some more of my dear friends.. A very big thank you to 'Perpetua', who has helped me get this far. val ..

Busting out all over

My jasmine creeper has gone so wild this year. I have left it. Only trimmed a little here and there. My whole garden is scented with its fragrance.  How I wish i had more.  That will be for next spring.

                                                  A jasmine bloom.. such in interesting flower

                                         My miniature rose bush. I planted it when it was about 3 inches high.  It never fails throughout the warm weather to give me these cute little blooms

                                                   Theree of a kind.   My white rose bush

                                   The oleader bushes are drooping under all the blooms they have this year.

                                      I took this photo as the large bumble bee entered the flower. you can just make him out. The photo below , you can see him popping  his head out, ready to fly away.
I never tire of walking around my garden of a morning. All my hard work has paid off.

Another painting of mine framed. I painted this about a year ago.. its a little difficult to see .. but its a cottage in the English countryside. 

June is with us.  Its one of my favorite months.

My flowers are indeed busting out all over.


Wishing you all a happy weekend.

val.

lost everything- a new blog

Dear blogging friends.    Yesterday I had an awful day.   I was in the middle of starting a new post,when i was cut off by google.   Temporary problems.. I then went to re enter my blog and it asked me for my password... i gave my password and the reply was.. wrong one.   I knew it was the right one.. but they said i had to change it due to Hackers! to protect myself.   I then changed my password.  Well dear friends.. from there on until 11pm last night, I was trying to recover my blog.   I fell asleep exhausted and very angry and upset.   I followed all the instructions.. but to no avail.. So here I am, with a new blog. Hoping that I will get you all my friends to follow me again.  Its -  Vals Alentejo.. no apostrophy.!( please note)

Today as you can imagine .  I am feeling very down.    I can only hope that i get back on track again.  I have also lost all my google contacts..

Google then asked me to give a profile of myself.. my age and join circles connected to google.. It reads.. that everybody can see everything.. I am so confused with all this..   I just want to do a straight blog.

So to all my dear friends.. who have joined my site... I hope that you will join this new one so i can see you all again.

best wishes.. val
