We found this lily in the bush - one of my favourite flowers...
Luke liked it too ! He insisted on having this picture taken with it.
We sat and watched the fish jumping out of the water - you can just see the splash here, it was lovely.
And Kallie enjoyed cooling down in the water.
The ducks crossed in front of us too. The weather was beautiful not too hot and not cold - definitely t-shirt weather !
Greg had to work last weekend all the way in Lizmore so we had to keep ourselves busy. This involved lots of walks along the water front .... here is a dandelion waiting to be blown !
Here we all are in front of the water...
Luke with my new bike - yes the koalas came with us - in my basket !
Luke having a rest on the pier - where they found a fishing rod... even if it can not be fixed it should not be left there, think of the birds people !
All right we walk out of my dining room and onto my balcony - I sit out here when the children are at school and housework can be forgotten about !
I look over the balcony and I see the first garden I built - all enclosed now so the dog does not get in ! In this garden I have - beans, corn, butternut, strawberries, tomatoes, basil, lettuce, peppers, radish .... there may be more !! Not to forget I have it surrounded by sunflowers and poppies. In the big pot I have a hydrangea cutting growing ...
The first of the 2 side gardens you see at the top of the photo - has 2 rose bushes in, some aloes as well as some more sunflowers.
On the left side of the door - a geranium, growing from a cutting I took from our rented house, next to another water feature found in this garden ! It is empty - hence the cat sitting in it !
My first sunflowers blooming and enjoying the sun this morning. I think they enjoyed the rain we just had too !
This is the rockery in front of the first garden - I have a teeny, tiny apricot tree in here, plus loads of rose bushes, sunflowers and some flowers in pots - think there might be another strawberry plant in there too.
This is right at the bottom of my garden - note another enclosed garden ! Full of veggies too.... more or less the same as the other gardens .... plus trees in the background, more poppies and sunflowers.
The newest garden - has lovely soil full of worms as I found out while digging ! More butternut, corn and beans !
Here is my little girl this morning. It was book character day at school today. Anna-Kate has been busy reading a series of books - I think there are 12 in this series, she is on book 12 already. Well this is the lead character, I am not sure what her name is, Anna-Kate drew the picture for me. I also crocheted her little shrug, now she has ordered a pink one !
Luke went as a skeleton, last years Halloween costume. He took a fact book in all about bones and your body etc - Luke has not caught the reading bug yet.
We had a red sky again this morning. No bad weather yet .... I am waiting for some rain - as my garden could do with some. Although my water tank is still full.
My first sunflower of the year, from seeds saved from the cockatoos last summer.
The full moon this month. It was so beautiful, but I could not capture her beauty with my camera - I gave it a go - as Luke would say !
Anna-Kate's art work on the wall of her class - we went into each class to see their work...
Luke's bird - we call it broken beak !
Anna-Kate's year singing a rap song about saving the earth.
Luke after his song - KS2 performed a song and a show. It was very good - and well worth the wait !
Luke looking worried ! He did complain about having a tummy ache and he looks worried in this picture. He was waiting for his one line Bless him.
This is what it looked like before I attacked this grass area - the cut down brush were some of the bushes / trees at the end of the garden.
I created the shape with rocks found around the garden, around old ponds etc we have removed. then I laid down some cardboard to kill off the grass and then remembered I have a naughty dog (!!) so had to build a fence around my veggie patch. I tried to use sticks from the trees I cut down - but ran out of these so had to buy some canes. Starting to fill with soil as and when I buy some.
This is how it looked on Saturday morning. Greg and I went out into the garden to clear the ever growing pile of rubbish ... we moved it to the area behind the metal shed as it is fab leaves etc and will break down to make lovely mulch / compost for later....
Sunday evening - all moved - with a little help from Luke and his fluffy toys.
