Mondo Cane...

 
On reading magazine today
It's all about the 'dog' -
Receptors in the brain, they say,
Can lead through any fog!
 
The three dogs that I know of, though,
Could sniff their way around 
The darkest night and deepest snow
That really could be found.
 
But most of all they like to sniff
where fellow dogs have been -
I pull them on, am feeling stiff
And not much part of scene...
 
Now Zena's dog has found dislike
And tends to bark at me -
I wonder if my name was Mike,
He'd act contrarily?

Another fun Open Day...
 
With lots of welcome visitors...
 
 The return of the world famous Timbola...
 
Plant Sales Girls...
 
And the Grumpy Chef... 
 
Then the rain came down...
 
We all found shelter where we could...
 
Crowding in the tunnel... 
 
 While some were sensible enough to wear a hat...
 
 And through it all the band played on...


 
 
Varieties of Summer green
Await the end of May
With Nature clothed, the Summer scene
Refuses to decay.
 
The clouds are scudding 'cross the sky
And evening stays on late;
Some gulls retreating with a cry -
Direction - homeward state.
 
Around the garden petals close
Performing lengthy blink;
A cooling breeze; from South it blows -
The sky an orange pink.
