I was so impressed with Christine’s post that I’m joining my gardening buddy on her Twelve Days of Christmas, as well as Diana of Elephant’s Eye for her annual Christmas Theme, The Twelve Days of Christmas! It is that time of year we can all reflect and look back on the highlights of the past year. It has been an eventful gardening year for me and I would never have achieved so much and had so much pleasure out of my garden if it was not for all our blogging friends! Thank you all! And most of all my special gardening buddy, Christine!! THANK YOU for all we share together!!!
On the Twelve Days of Christmas, my garden gave to me ….
1. A Dove came a visiting
2. Two Sparaxis a glowing
3. Three buckets of Lavender
4. Four Lemons a ripening
5. Five pets a swimming
6. Six Comfrey bells a ringing
7. Seven Peaches for enjoying
8. Eight Roses to delight in
9. Nine rain drops a glistening
10. Ten lavender stems a standing
11. Eleven daisy heads a smiling
12. ..and Twelve roses blushing
I want to wish all our garden bloggers a Happy Festive Season! I’m going to be spending a lot of my time in MY garden!
Happy Gardening xxxxx

Have to agree -it’s the chickens for me too! Great post.
Lovely version of the 12 days of Christmas
What an incredible gift to be able to garden on Christmas…enjoy some garden time for me too!!
That was great! Loved the chickens having a ball in the pool! It’s been fabulous dropping in to visit your lovely garden this year and I look forward to more next year. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
Hi Barbara and Christine,
I wish you and your family all good for Christmas and every happiness in the coming year.
Lots of greetings,
Elly
Excellent!
Chickens are amazing, but is that dove in your kitchen? How did that happen?
How fun! Love all your ‘pets’ swimming! Merry Christmas!
Thank you – it is fun to put together. I remember your chickens cooling off back when it WAS hot! We’re having strangely autumnal weather this December, fog this morning.
I was just thinking how nice the lavender looked in the metal bucket when I saw your swimming chickens and nearly spilt my tea – excellent post
Ha! I loved your five pets….nice post.
Great Post – Wish I had time to do it! 🙂 Got my own “thing” going this year. lol. Merry Christmas!!
Just like Christine’s post, I love all 12 days. But the chickens are the best by far. I did not know chickens would go into the water, so cool.
I don’t know how you both did this. Maybe a lot of cropping and luck?
If you just posted a different photo of the swimming chickens each day, I would visit every single day, first thing in the morning. This is probably the most wonderful thing I’ve learned about “gardening” ever (that chickens can swim). Not to take away from your other great posts and photos, but really, you can’t compete with swimming chickens. 🙂
I,too, chuckled at your five “pets”! 😀
Such a fun post but the chickens with your husband (?) have it hands down. Merry Christmas, Carolyn
What a wonderful post! I too love the 5 pets a swimming, that’s great! So going to join in the festivity of this, what a wonderful idea for a post. Merry Christmas Barbie!! Cheers Julia xx
