Monday, Monday !
In the round basin at the back, left - one cutting from a very lemon scented bush - query a kind of geranium. Plus some Australian flowers.
Rectangle basin in front of it - more Australian flowers.
Ice - cream container in the front - Kallie somehow pulled it out of a rockery on a walk to school so brought it home and planted it!
3 black bag covered rectangular wicker baskets which look empty - are strawberries grown from seed.
White rectangular basin - red papaya seeds. Ice - cream pot to the left - another lemon cutting plus chestnut found in Luke's room (brought over from the UK!!!)
The black rectangle with plants more Australian flowers.
Plants looking sad in the front - mint - bought from supermarket - we will see if it survives !
Butternut, melon and other plants - enjoying the sun .... I have put all the plants into the pool enclosure to keep them away from the dog - who loves to dig !

9 May 2010 - Happy Mothers' Day !
We had a lovely weekend this weekend. The sun shone and so we spent as much time as we could outside.
Sunday was Mothers' Day here and I was so spoilt. Luke put a LOT of effort into his gifts - I received 2 A3 posters saying I love Mum - the mum written out in ice lolly sticks he has been saving ! Plus his colouring was all in the lines. Then he made an origami hat for me to wear and an origami boat with cut outs of us in - plus a dollar -out of his pocket money!
They had to take $5 into school last week to buy a gift for me - Anna-Kate chose a mug with beautiful red flowers on (luckily they were sold out by the time they got to Luke's class - as he wanted to buy one for me). They know I love mugs !
Luke chose a photo frame and a small photo album. It is siting next to my bed with a photo of them both swimming in our pool.
Greg had organised a tree and a lovely terra cotta pot.
Here is Luke carrying lots of small stones to put into the bottom of the pot. Greg is smashing big rocks to make the little stones - Kallie is watching waiting to eat any stones left behind. Yes she eats stones - she eats anything !!
Luke, carrying the blood orange tree to put into pot.
Lots of concentration going on - putting the tree into the pot. Behind them balanced on the pools pump are all my seedlings busy growing !
Anna-Kate and Luke next to my present ! Excuse my daughter's outfit - the house is very cool - but outside is hot!
Me - knitting outside today.
