Sherbet receives a postcard from a tropical island

What a wonderful surprise I had this morning. The postman with the red van brought me a delightful postcard from one of my very dear friends who is on holiday in a tropical island far far far far far away.  How different it looks from my garden at Clover Cottage.
 I can see banana trees and pineapples and humming birds and hibiscus flowers. Pearl told me that I could make tea with hibiscus,  it would make a nice change from my peppermint tea.  I don't think I can make banana tea but I do know that I can make banana cake !  Yummy what a wonderful thought.  I do not have a banana tree here at Clover Cottage but I do have some bananas in my kitchen and I am going to start making a scrumptious, healthy, delicious cake right away !  I will put some nuts in it too as I do love crunchy bits in my cakes. I will invite Doodle, Mango and Pearl to share it with me. Oh what a lovely treat, scrummy, nutty, moist, slices of  banana cake.  Love Sherbetx

A world full of big rainbow coloured circles of happiness

I feel so proud of my lovely vegetable garden. It is a true miracle that I can plant the tiniest little seeds in the ground and then not too long afterwards, some wonderful unseen creative magic makes whole rows of lettuce and carrots pop up out of the earth in my garden. What a wonderful blessing to have all of this rainbow coloured deliciousness that keeps me healthy and keeps my wool shiny.
 I have just remembered a lovely saying that Pearl sent to me, it was written on a postcard. It reminds me of my vegetable garden . It goes something like this:

Sow seeds in the garden of your brother and you will see them bloom in yours.

Pearl told me that it means that if we do good deeds to another we will see good things come back to us. Oh how lovely, how wonderful. The whole world would be so happy if everyone sowed seeds in everyone else's gardens. It would be a world full of big rainbow coloured circles of happiness going round and round and round and round for ever and ever. Oh my goodness that makes me feel dizzy. Love and good deeds indeed. from Sherbetx
