It was lovely weather here for a change, after all the rain we have been having! Nice to get outdoors! Saturday we went 4 x 4-we take the car and the rhino (which is 4 x 4 golf cart with a back like a buckie (South African for a"pickup")-amazing suspension! It can go over any terrain!)
Here is me and DH, yes I drove it and have before, but this time I went DOWN steep hills with ditches and roots gutting out and you name it! I panicked but soon got over it and had heaps of fun! My father in law came with, so while at times he drove, the rest of us drove in the 4 x 4. It is an amazing trail that takes you right to the top of the mountains. The views from up there are breath taking. Not to mention the wild flowers, vegetation and birds! (these are more the reasons why I go with!)
Just look at these views! In the background is the back of Table Mountain -Cape Town.
See the little dirt track in the photo below? We came UP that.
The first Wotsonia's of the season.
Sunday I worked the whole day in the garden, which was lovely. I had bought the kids each a pair of gloves and they enjoyed themselves working along with me-planting and watering.
This is a view of my backdoor, I have nasturtium and assorted herbs as well as cherry tomatoes and green peppers and another great natural insect repellent -marigolds (nasturtium being another one)My kids were shocked when I picked some nasturtium flowers and ate them! Then my dd tried-needless to say, she did not like the peppery taste! I remember as a child picking the leaves and eating them on buttered bread!
Thank you for all the lovely comments for link 1 for the "True Love" kit. I am so happy that you are all liking and enjoying the kit.
Today I thought it would be great if you could tell me just ONE reason why you love your husband/boyfriend or if you are not seeing someone or are not married...what you would look for in a mate....just for fun!!
It includes one paper, 1 word art and 1 hand drawn bird doodle
Before I go, I just wanted to show you this stunning LO Renee did with the first True love download! Isn't it beautiful?

Thanks for the second download Bonnie, it's gorgeous.
I thought this was going to be easy to answer, but once I had to put it in words, it's difficult to describe. It's the way he makes me feel, the way he can touch me on my shoulder from behind and I know it's him, it's the fact that he grounds me, it's his smile, his sense of humour, even his smell. It's that feeling of loss when I leave for work and serenity when I'm home. It's being able to laugh at the silly things in life and to cry when something sad happens. It's that something that every other man in the world lacks.
Simply - I love my husband because he puts up with me. Honestly, to me that's wonderful ...
I love my husband because he loves me because of the best in me, and in spite of the worst in me ... and because he doesn't always need for "it to be about him."
Beautiful art, as always, Bonnie.
Thanks for sharing your photos as well,
Melanie

Thanks for another wonderful paper!
Why do I love my husband? One reason is because he's my best friend.
Thankyou for another awesome paper.
I love my husband because he makes me feel truly special every day even when I look my daggiest (and that's almost always)
Hey Bonnie
So glad you visited over at my place. Long time no see! I love the new look of your blog.
This post is gorgous. I love the pictures! I can't believe you drove that thing!!
I'd love to do a swap with you. It may be awhile. I'm swamped preparing for 3 shows & I'm already thinking holidays. One day I'll get through my "to-do" list :)

PS I love my hubby because we were meant to be. We are a complete pair
Wow, looks like you had great weekend & lots of fun!! I really enjoyed seeing your beautiful photos. Well I do not have a husband, divorced many years & rasised 4 sons as a single Mom & loved every minute of it.If I had a mate, it would be very important to me that he was honest, caring & we did things together.
Why do I love... Thanks, I really needed that question right now. Seriously. He's being a pain at the moment, and so of course I had forgotten how much I love him.
He still opens the doors for me -- cars, house, shops, whatever -- after 35 years of marriage as of this coming Sunday. And now that I'm disabled, he does so much for me, even things that I can, with some difficulty, do for myself just because he loves to help me.
Oh, and thank you for the beautiful kit, of course!
Thank you for this lovely kit.
This is a beautiful additon to the other papers. I love this layout, just gorgeous! I love my husband because he is also my best friend and you know how important a best friend is in your life. He is always there when I need him, for anything. I am very lucky!
I enjoyed looking at all of your photos, it is beautiful where you live.
Thank you for this very nice gift!
OOh love the second part! YAY- can't wait to get my full *kit* -hee hee.
Why do I love Wayne- because not only is he my best friend- he understands, respects and lets me be ME. He also spoils me ROTTEN- lol
Thanks Bon
HUGS
Thank you for sharing this beautiful kit. Can't wait to see the rest.
Could you also please let me know what is the name of the font that you used for the word art?
Thanks.
This is lovely, thank you. I got started with day 2 but looking forward to the rest.
I will use this as a heritage page for my mother, she played the piano so beautifully.
I had a husband many years ago but we parted ways, I guess I am a "live alone" person. I do have my 4 cats and 1 dog and they are so much company for me. My daughters and grandchildren live away but we are close.
Thank you, your place is beautiful.
I would SO love to have an herb garden - and a veggie garden, too :o)
THank you so much for the beautiful part 2!
I think my favorite thing about my husband would have to be the way he hugs me. He is a sweetie and is wonderful in so many ways, but that is the one thing I can always count on!
Thank you for the kit.....I love my husband because he's put up with me for 33 years....lol, he's just a keeper and he loves me ;-))
hi bon,

Thank you for the 2nd freebie. It's gorgeous.
Why I love my husband? He's a hard worker and tries his best to provide for us. Whenever we need something he finds a way to get it for us. He definately is a provider even when he is out of work.
My husband is a special guy,a very gifted muscian, and a fabulous cook!!
