An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
My First “Red” Cherry Tomatoe
Nine days before Christmas my Cherry Tomatoe plant gifted me a little ripe tomatoe. Early summer has been quite warm, today it’ll be 41’C. With plenty of watering my courtyard garden is flourishing.

Dragon Wing Red Begonia, Ruby Red Geranium … and the Sunflower is about to bloom
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

41 C? OMG that is hot! It never gets that hot in Ireland, xo
How wonderful! π Beautiful and yummy, too! π
Love all the shades of red and green you shared with us! Nature brings the beauty that makes us smile! π

Why is it so hard to believe there is summer somewhere but not here? LOL When you get a chance please send the sun our way for a day or two. Thank you. And Congrats on your tomato.
