Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

What fascinating plants these are. We grew them successfully when we were living in Ceduna, but haven't attempted to grow them here. I still have seeds, I might give them a go next year seems we live in the desert, or it feels like it lately with all the wind and dirt.
How did your children go with their soccer on Sunday? My son kicked three goals and his team won.

soccer went great on Sunday. I read on your blog about your son kicking the three goals.
Our team was down 2 nil at half time but came back to win 3 - 2. They were super happy. Tom set one goal up for this girl that got it.
We should get together sometime for coffee. I have an email in my profile if you want to email me for my contact details.

Wow! It feels like living on a different planet, almost! Here, it is so humid that moss grows almost as quickly as grass... we even have some growing on our barbecue! lol And lichen growing on all the trees and trying to grown on houses!
Thank you so much for posting this, the flower is really gorgeous! :D
What a beautiful flower. I don't expect it would do to well here in Indiana...The shade of red it magnificent! Cathy
At first glance I thought, Whoa, is that a desert rose? Very pretty! Then I see you've named it proper. It's still lovely!
I love Desert Peas! When we lived in Alice Springs we drove by a roundabout on our way to town that always had them in abundance. They are beautiful, fragile flowers. :-)
Wow. Amazing having them in your own garden. I am going to post one this week, Tuesday I think, but it is from the Botanic Gardens in Canberra.
A roundabout wow.
