Moon over the Indian Ocean

Someone mentioned that I haven't shown photos of where I'm staying at Uncle Arnand's beach house. A most deluxe beach house, I must add.

Today I start with some of the outdoor scenes. 

There is a beautiful balcony that surrounds three sides of the house. The photo above is of a round stone table and two curved benches. In the hot summer, Heaven Admin and I often eat out there.

Nearby is the clothes line. That's a shirt of Heaven Admin's he hung there.

Now, this following pic, I should offer a prize to the blogreader who guesses what it is. It's not some sliding path you walk down or up.

Look at the top part of this mystery photo. Do you see the plug? This is the inside of the wash tub where I love to wash clothes by hand. Do you see the scrubbing part that looks like stairs or a road? One of my most favorite things is this wash tub. Also being able to hang clothes outside in the fresh air is Heaven. In so many places, this is not allowed.

Along the driveway side of the house is a long and tall retaining stone wall. The empty places are filled with growing things that Heaven Admin planted. Note this is a vertical view:

Below is arugala that Heaven Admin planted. We have lots of it. And wonderful herbs! Growing things make me very happy. Oh, by the way, in South Africa, arugala is called rocket. Or, I could just as well say that, in the U.S. rocket is called arugula! This is most delicious rocket. I love it in salads or just to nibble on. Maybe I'm a rabbit.

Now here is a lobelia plant I planted. It is thriving. We need flowers, don't we?

I have more photos to show you. This is enough for now. Except for one splendid one that Heaven Admin took last night. Orange moon over the Indian Ocean.
