I love Autumn sunshine, we had a great week warm sunshine with cool mornings.
It's just about right and easy to do some cleaning up after all the rain.
This is my new path.
And many broms need repotting.
This is a bit blurry but I like the sun and shade but for some reason I'm not too good at taking these photos but this is the garden in morning light.
In Drumsticks sleeping area there is a lilly but it must taste mighty good because she likes to eat it so it's protected, when it gets older maybe it will not taste so good.
My gift from from the visiting Kiwies who here for dinner a couple of blogs back lovely colour but it's up on the table because it might be tasty too.
The front needs a tidy up too , Kidney is waiting for me to do things so far all I've done is sit in the sun and think but I do have my garden scrap bin ready.
It's a bit of a jungle.
The fence is disappearing, well that ok it needs a paint.
Most things are going very well
Yesterday I had to go shopping so did everyone else, it's school holidays so there was a show in Westfields. Now Rocky and Bullwinkle were my favourite cartoon as a child and we have the new show Mr Peabody and his boy Sherman in the movies so they were in a exercise and dance session so I took a few pictures.
But this girl in red just did not approve of my taking photos is that not a disapproving look.
The house on the corner has all the framework up for the second story, glad I have many trees, I like my back yard to be private you never know we might start sun baking in the nude.
And next door is all finished now, just finishing the driveway and the front footpath, this was happening at 7am this morning and all finished by 9am but by then I was wide awake, but I knew they were coming so I went to bed very early last night.
Love, love, love your jungle. And autumn. Such an invigorating time of year - which is just as well because there is a LOT of work needed in our garden at the moment. If I weed every day until Christmas I might be on top of it. Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteGet a chicken you will never have to weed again but you do lose a few plants too.

It is so odd to think that it is autumn there and we are moving into Spring here. You have such lush gardens. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe world is a topsy turvy place.

That Drumstick has added so much adventure to your lives. Can't wait for my garden to look like yours.
ReplyDeleteShe is a little adventure every day.
DeleteMerle..........
Is that gorgeous flower a 'frangipani' or something like that? I can never get over how lush your garden looks.
ReplyDeleteJane x
There was a frangipani there but it's at the end of it's flowering season soon it will be sticks until spring.
DeleteMerle.................
Your garden is stunning friend! WOW! It is so lush and alive!!! And your new path is fantastic!!!! A wonderful week to you! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteMy path was made out of the left over wood from the house next door.and a few pavers.
DeleteAll in the recycling.
Merle...............
The cyclamen is gorgeous! I had one once and planted it under a shady tree where it did very well. Then we moved...I see your frangipani is flowering well now.
ReplyDeleteLet the geranium completely cover the fence and never worry about painting it again!
I will take your advice and plant it under a tree as I have never been able to keep them for very long in the past.
DeleteMerle....................
It will die down over winter then come up again in the spring/summer and flower for Easter.
DeleteWow, your garden is really enjoying itself! I quite like the jungle look:) It seems like Kidney is pretty happy with it too!
ReplyDeleteThe cats all enjoy the trees in the back yard, it's fun to run up and down the branches.
DeleteMerle................
I am not a gardener - BUT I do love gardens and their beauty and all the hard work it takes to get it so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI never had time for much gardening till I retired now I like pottering.
DeleteMerle.........
I love autumn, but we are just starting spring. Your gardens look beautiful! I like how everything is compact like a courtyard setting. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
ReplyDeleteIt looks courtyardie because I have no lawn, with all my trees the grass will not grow.

ReplyDeleteSome of the best time in the world, that spent sitting and thinking! That young lady certainly does look disapproving. Your garden is so dappled - I totally understand why you like the light-shade thing. Hope it doesn't too cold too soon for you. YAM xx
When you are working and have a family one thing you don't have is time, now I enjoy day dreaming.
DeleteMerle..........
I don't think your garden is a jungle. It's wonderful. Just what a garden should be!
ReplyDeleteYou are headed into Fall, and we are just starting spring...
ReplyDeleteJen
its so lovely, all of it, so lush, so beautiful, I just think Kidney is the best name for your cat, I hope you have lots more comfortable days with cool mornings, and I hope your sunshine finds us!
