A Lovely Basket of Flowers to start off for the New Day.
Yes today is a New Day…. each day is different from the day before… so what are we going to do today? Let us have a think !
Perhaps we can do some cooking…… what would you like to cook today? Something different, something nice.. maybe a cake, maybe some rice, maybe a stew, let us have a look in the Recipe Book !
Well – here is a nice recipe for a Syrup Tart…. If you have never made this and you like something sweet it is very good. Can be eaten cold with Ice-cream or nice thick Cream or just on its own. Why not give it a go. It can be found on page 22 in our Recipe Book, which is available as an eBook. Will put the Link on here for you.
I just remembered, did I forget to do that or – did I do it and forget that I did it?
I forget now but if I do it now and I have already done it, that means that I would have done it twice.
Best if I don’t do it now. I may not have done it at all if I didn’t do it in the first place.
What a dilemma, why did I just think that I hadn’t done it, then think that maybe I had.
Well I remember thinking that I should but I wonder if I did.
The best thing is to go and look I suppose – – now what was it that I think I forgot to do.
I can’t remember now, best to have a Cuppa and think about it later.

What about the Syrup Tart then?
Psalm: 3 verse 5. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because The Lord sustains me. (This is from the Bible)
Sometimes we are like sheep that have gone astray – but it is nice to be back in the fold and enjoy our day.

Hibiscus that come over our fence from our Neighbours garden. They are just Beautiful – I use them sometimes in the Basket of Flower Arrangement that I take to Church.

Have you ever thought how beautiful Flowers are……
maybe today is a good day to put some in a vase or jar
to look at in your kitchen or lounge room.
They are a good talking point as well when you have any visitors
also they definitely brighten up any room.
Even One Single Flower looks great in a vase on its own.
The little drawing above is one that I did……..
you may like to make your own drawing of a Single Flower,
it is a good exercise for any of us who like painting or drawing.

Beautiful Colourful Blossom on this photo that I took
Instead of a Basket of Flowers here we have a tree blown into this shape by the constant wind in and around Geraldton N.W. Australia…..it is an Acrylic Painting that I did from one of my Photographs..
Every Day is a new day for us to live and laugh and love and enjoy…. some days are not so good but life is what we make it. We need to get up each day to get on with the work we are meant to be doing. If we live alone or with a family we need to be pleased that we are alive to live another New Day.
Don’t let the wind blow away those thoughts and things that you need to do for today.
Remember Yesterday has gone and Tomorrow never comes so we have: TODAY……which is a New Day.
What are we going to do Today then? That is the question!
We all have to get up from our beds, get washed and dressed ready for the New Day….some of us like to pray first before we have our breakfast, others wait until later….and others do not think to pray but just get on with the daily chores to start with. However we all have a New Day each Day to do something with remembering that this New Day will never come again because then it will become Yesterday. How about that then?
Here is a link to one of my Books…hope you like it and can have a bit of fun with your family playing the game. It tells you inside the book how to play – you need at least two people. It is good to play in the car while driving to help keep the Driver alert and is a bit of fun for the passengers.
This is a book of Pen & Ink Drawings of Cats and is a Game for Young and Old to play together.
From the bible: Matthew: 24 verse 42. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

Can you see the busy Little Bee on the flower – this is on of my better photos. These Daisy Flowers grow close to the ground and make a lovely picture.
Today I thought we would have a sort of Poem about remembering things…. as we get a bit older we do tend to forget a few things and have to stand and think for a moment whether we a coming or going or where we have put something that we cannot find.
Then sometimes when we are looking for the lost item – we then may wonder what we are actually looking for. For some people it can be their glasses to hunt for – eventually finding they already have them on their face.
Maybe you have never gone into another room and stood at the door wondering why you are going in there to get something……and can’t remember what it was!!! Well, that day may one day come – you never know.
So best thing is to go back to where you were – look around and you suddenly may remember what you were going into the next room for, it may be a simple as that.!
Here is my Poem……. hope you like it:
I Just Remembered
I just remembered, did I forget to do that, or – did I do it and forget that I did it?
I forget now but if I do it now and I have already done it, that means that I would have done it twice.
Best if I don’t do it now. I may not have done it at all if I didn’t do it in the first place.
What a dilemma, why did I just think that I hadn’t done it, then think that maybe I had.
Well I remember thinking that I should but I wonder if I did.
The best thing is to go and look I suppose – now what was it that I think I forgot to do.
I can’t remember now, best to have a Cuppa and think about it later.
That hanging basket has long gone now but I think it is lovely to take a photo sometimes of our different pot plants and flowers before they are gone.
Also it is good to keep a file on the computer to put our flower photos in. If you have never thought about that I think it is a good thing to do, to remember some of the beautiful flowers that we can grow in Hanging Baskets or photos of our Pot Plants.
For our Recipe today: Here is a copy of a Postcard I did with the Recipe on it for a Fruit Salad:
Something different using our beautiful fruit here in Carnarvon where we live.
Just Something Different for you today.
Here is the Link for my Cookery Book for Carnarvon Recipes:
This is a close-up of Lantana growing in my Driveway. It looks so pretty. However it does not do well when cut to put in a vase as it only seems to last a few days once cut.
I thought this photo would look nice instead of putting a photo of a Basket of Flowers on here today, the photo has come out very well as I am not the worlds best at taking photo’s but every now and then we seem to get a good one.
So I would encourage you today to take several photo’s of any special flowers that you have growing in your garden or maybe when you go for a walk….just a close-up sometimes can be very rewarding. Then if you save to your computer can be used to bless friends or others by printing out onto a card for them. If you take several the delete button is very helpful to take off the ones that are not so good. !!! Yes I have to delete quite a few.!!!
So – Lantana can look very nice in a display but may only last like I said just a couple of days before wilting.
The above basket of flowers was made to take to Church – the flowers are anchored down in Wet Oasis.

An Easy Recipe for today:
* BANANA CAKE *
Use your favourite plain recipe: Add:
2 – Ripe Bananas (mashed)
Cook in the usual way
Decorate and Eat.
(Lemon Flavour Butter Icing is nice to use for Banana Cake)
The Poinciana Tree is overhanging from my neighbour’s garden and has given us all this lovely shade and red blossoms on the pavers. Lots of seed pods still hanging from last Season. It is a beautiful spot to walk under and helps keep us cool from the 30 to 40 deg. heat. at this time of the year here in Carnarvon, Western Australia.
Here is a closeup photo of the Poinciana Flower
If picked to put in a vase, these flowers do not last very long, maybe a day or two but look very pretty if put in with some greenery.
