A Little Tour...

 Sorry, I couldn't bring myself to write yesterday after a night of dread... I have friends in Innisfail who had not yet moved into their new house after Cyclone Larry - it was n-e-a-r-l-y ready. Well, good news! The house stood up to the challenge and all are safe and well... Hooray...

Now, I thought you might like to come for a little tour of my garden with me. It desperately needs hedging but I thought I could show you bits here and there. We don't have much of a garden because we have a h-u-g-e park over the road and someone comes at 7am everyday to mow, water and tidy it. Pretty darn handy really... So for all that 'big' stuff like soccer etc we go there. Here, it is more sculptured and relaxing.


So please enjoy...



Liilipilli "Red Sensations" - Wall awaiting a light and some 'art', maybe slump glass?

 Port Wine Magnolia. Flowers smell like bubblegum!! They hedge up real purdy-like
A Dragon tree...
Another Dragon tree... we have 6 I think...
Liriope - these flowers are a darker purple. Used as borders in front of hedges
Liriope - pretty pale purple flowers
Grass is Empire Zoysia - mow once a month!! Yay




Ciao for now...

Flowers? You Shouldn't Have...

I received some flowers late last week. As above. Aren't they lovely. They are from my neighbour's husband. 'Oh' I hear you exclaim.  Bit unusual I agree. Especially since his wife was walking past the florist when he was buying them as knew they weren't for her. 'This should be interesting' she said to her children.  Yes. It is interesting. They were for me. They were a 'thank you' gift. Plot thickens??? Not really. Apparently I had 'lent' my husband to my gorgeous neighbour to do 'man-stuff' and he felt a bit bad that we were deprived of the Silver Fox's company for the whole weekend!!! So, flowers as a thank you. Heck, between you and I it was nice to have the place to myself for once!!! Knowing the the Silver Fox was doing something he loves with his best friend was reward enough. Heck, I would have p-a-i-d him for the time-out I got!! Don't get me wrong, I adore my hubby but it was nice. So really no flowers necessary.... My pleasure!!!!



Ciao for now
