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.

trying to get back to normal


This is just a test post dear friends...  

The temple of "Diana" Evora..

I hope i can get myself back on track... wishing you all a very good weekend.

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
