Rain at last.


Well the christmas tree is up




The garden is messy but very dry , we had a very dry winter and spring and now it's summer the bush fires are everywhere lots of rain soon would help.

It's fareing ok  most of my garden likes it a bit dry.
and some has just gone wild as we have had a bit of a downpour in the early summer days.

the 4oclock's are eating the garden chairs.




Angus is still here for another couple of months it will be lonely when he goes to NZ, Pidge will be the only one left and he is getting on a bit we had him for about 7 years and he was full grown and very injured so I'm surprised he lasted this long but it's a ideal life freedom of the air, food and a safe place to go and sleep when needed.
I't hard to take a picture of this dog always got his nose in something.
LOOK at these skies black as black.
Pidgee is home, not good to be caught out in a storm.
15 minutes of heavy rain and the sky is a bit lighter but more coming
The garden is having a good wash to bad i just swept it all up a few hours ago.

My pond  was empty yesterday .





We need the rain but it will mean a big clean out now.

    If only could syphon you some of the wet stuff from this side!!! Your garden looks flourishing though, with the 'four oclock' and the pelargoniums etc. Will Angus have to go through quarantine in NZ? YAM xx

    1. I don't think so he will have to have some shots and only kept in quarantine maybe a day or two.

  2. I love to see your garden all engulfed in growth, but I know how much work is involved in clearing it out.

  4. We had the rain and are still getting some, with hot days in between. I can stand the hot days if I know cooler days are coming in between them. I'm sure your garden was happy to get wet. I like your Christmas tree.

  6. Your tree looks nice. Always good to see photos of Merle's jungle. Will Angus have to go through some extended quarantine isolation?

  13. Hi Merle...Thanks for all your visits. Your outdoor garden must be a nice place to sit and relax. Merle, do you ever see Barbara? Is she okay? I haven't heard from her in a long, long, time and wonder if she is okay. Is her elderly Mom still living, too? Sincerely, Susan
