Unfortunately, it is too cold in Austria for Oleander to spend the winter in the garden. Nevertheless, I bought a little tree with white blossoms for the terrace and hope I will get it through the cold time! <br />Thanks for the love story of Hero and Leander!<br />Hugs and happy holidays wishes for you and your family, Traude<br />(⁀‵⁀,) ✿<br />.`⋎´✿✿¸.•°<br />✿¸.<br />Rostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340383022614454708.post-41632723395097536322014-07-05T15:23:40.117+03:002014-07-05T15:23:40.117+03:00Beautiful Colours you are a talented photographe...Beautiful Colours you are a talented photographer .

How lovely your Oleander's are -...Dear Olympia,<br />How lovely your Oleander's are - and isn't it nice that they grow so easily for you there! We don't have these beauties here, as it is too cool, but I enjoyed seeing them in your beautiful photos. The story is lovely, too. My Dear Blue Eyes would hitch-hike miles to see me when we were young, just to throw a love note to me at my bedroom window, as my parent's wouldn't allow me to date. I always worried about him....How exciting for your daughter to finally have the 'big night' and I know you must be very proud parents, as it takes so much work and dedication on her part (and yours). Your terrace looks very cozy and inviting and I am sure it is a perfect place to catch those cool evening breezes. Wishing you a lovely week. <br />xo Hugs<br />KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340383022614454708.post-9081162881327989432014-07-02T20:33:24.862+03:002014-07-02T20:33:24.862+03:00I think that the oleanders are beautiful!!!

The story is wonderful too! I hope that you can find some cool spots to relax in and enjoy yourselves and that the ballet goes well for your daughter. I am "on" pinterest, it is pretty easy to use once you get going, and interesting to look at, but I don't have time so I haven't used it much. I think that you will find it fun! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.com
