We recently had a few days in Rotorua with our older daughter. Meantime at home the flowers bloomed victoriously !!!
Hollyhocks reached for the sky, translucent petals .
Last year, this was the beauty , the same colour in this year's plants, all self sewn.
This year.!!!
The Rotorua feline family, Ruby, Wally, a possible Maine Coon, and Milo, a very recent ginger lad. Milo at the back, obviously, Ruby at the front, and Wally with his tail hanging over the deck.
The lawn needs mowing again,, the passionfruit vines have died, maybe the roots got waterlogged this spring, however we can always plant more.
Quotation of the day, author unknown,
Enjoy your home, it's always a joy to return.
Greetings from Jean

Hello,
Love the cute kitties! Your flowers are all looking beautiful.
A lovely sight on your return home, the flowers are all lovely.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
It is fun to go away, by always good to come home.
I look at your beautiful blossoms and then out the door at the snow. Quite a contrast. Not looking forward to winter....at all.
I do like seeing the flowers and, of course, the cats.
Oh your flowers are glorious - we're in the cold grey days here at my house, and I'm already longing for spring!!!
Nice to see the blossoms - wintery storm day here - so it is a welcome sight for the eyes!
It's always so nice to have a trip away to see family, your daughter has a wonderful trio of felines indeed.
Looks like you had a lot of beauty to greet you when you got home. :)
The feline family is a beauty!
Spring has sprung at your place, those flowers are so pretty. Cute kitties!
Hope you had a lovely visit with your daughter, Jean! The flowers are so pretty. You never know what color will come up with self-seeding hollyhocks. I had some pretty yellow ones this year, hope they come up the same color in the Spring! They were magenta in that same spot two years ago.
Hugs
Jane
Love hollyhocks Jean but never grown them in our garden, I must try some for next year. The photo of the three kitties is glorious!! They seem to all be quite happy together.
I miss photographing flowers this time of year. Thanks Jean for sharing. Carol
The cats are so sweet looking. How pretty and vibrant your flowers look. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year!
It's so nice to see your pretty flowers blooming as the winter storm starts her in NE Indiana. Cute kitties! Just told my Hub yesterday I miss not having a cat. Love your quote of the day as I'm planning on staying all cozy and warm in my home this weekend. Happy Christmas!
It's so nice to see all this color! And your felines are beautiful! Have a great holiday season!
You returned home to such garden beauty, Jean. I love to travel, but it always wonderful to return home!
