Beautiful time of year.....


 Whether you're out enjoying all those Autumn colours, or Spring blooms, it's a beautiful time of year.
Look at our little garden.....

Don't worry, we've made running tracks through all the bushes....
HER little vegie patch is growing well.


 Daisy's daisies.......we think they need some water.

One of the bottlebrushes


 SHE loves their gold flecks.
 Of course, we're very busy keeping the honeyeaters--birds--away from our plants.

 Bird of Paradise has four blooms this year.  Our cheapo camera can't capture the brilliant orange properly.
 The rose bush is going wild.
 The Oleander is just gorgeous.
 Yes, we have several Oleander and have raised six pups here and none has ever chewed them.
(We do keep the lower branches pruned.)
The front yard bottlebrush tree
That the cats love to sit in.
That funny green thing on the right is our letter box....people often ask.
 Gardenias.
Photobombing the succulents.
They're new.


So get out there and enjoy those beautiful days....

  2. You had better take care of Daisy's daisies or you'll face the wrath of the K-crowd.

  6. It was beautiful here today too. Mom never has had much luck with gardens or flowers. She hopes when she retires she will have grown a green thumb. Daisies are mom's favorite flowers and then birds of paradise.

    Aroo to you,
