Cute Garden Tools

I badly need that after a day of exploring the nature reserve that forms the backdrop of the Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa. I am tempted to just spend the day cocooned in my elegantly furnished suite and chart the change of light on the cliffs, but something else beckons: an appointment for a relaxing rub-down at the spa. In the Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa, guests get to enjoy Australian bush country in luxurious comfort. One of the first things I did after checking in was plunge into my private pool, lapping up the view of the surrounding mountains through the ceiling-height windows. LIFE couldn’t get better than this,” I think to myself as I sink into the rocking chair in my private verandah with a glass of pinot noir and crisps, and take in the fresh air, mountain views and sounds of nature. The colours of the cliffs change with sun: one minute they glow a brilliant orange, the next they are tinted ochre. It rests in a setting that could not be more stunning: a sprawling valley ringed by forested hills and sandstone cliffs. Beyond that are sheer sandstone escarpments that tower over the valley.

She already has some hand tools like a little hand rake and spade which she got from her Aunt Katie but I thought it might be time to get her something she can use while standing since that’s her favorite pastime right now. Stefan says he had exactly the same garden tools when he was a kid…except maybe the quality was a bit better back then. Obviously, I know she can’t really do those things much yet anyway…although she does try to sweep some stuff up. But these tools are actually not recommended until the age of 3 and I have to wonder if they might not be a bit small and too flimsily... So I have to wonder whether Mack will actually be able to use them to dig a bit in the garden or rake a few leaves with us down at the orchard. And if you’re interested to buy them here in Germany, you may find them in a local garden or home improvement store (although I can’t recall ever seeing them) or see them in my Amazon. As I was looking around online, I discovered that Gardena has a collection called Play which is super cute. The problem with these tools is that they are fairly thin plastic....

We left the store with a very cute set of turkey-shaped, brightly-painted salt and pepper shakers for $20. The low-slung shops at Wells Union included eight small buildings, each housing its own unique collections. We were immediately drawn to the

If you leave me, can I come, too?

I imagined renting a cute little garret in an old mansion with palm trees and live oaks covered in hanging moss outside my window, where Eliza could stop by for iced tea and a healthy snack after school instead of filling up on biscuits with gravy in

West Bank settlement is outdoing its neighboring Bedouin village

"You're cute," I told her. She was silent. I knew I should explain to her my sudden appearance next to her house - a strange woman in this small settlement where everyone surely knows everyone else. "I'm just on an outing here," I said embarrassedly.
