A walk in the front garden......


Hello and welcome.
We have been having the most amazing weather here so I have
been spending as much time as I can in the garden.


Here we are at the front gate...



Come on in and have a look around.


All the roses are blooming as are all the delphiniums that
self seeded from last summer.


The Jacaranda is starting to flower, soon the yard
will be a purple carpet.


This jacaranda tree is well over 60 years old and is my favorite tree.
Bruce being a plumber hates it as it clogs all the gutters up with the tiny leaves..


October really is the best month for my garden....


The front garden has a real cottage garden feel to it, and is shaded by\the Jacaranda.
I have so many David Austin roses, geraniums and saliva's to give this garden colour.


I hope you enjoyed your look around the front garden.
Next week I will show you the rest of the garden.
Tomorrow I am going to spend some time with my newest grandson Henry and his 2 sisters.
I am looking forward to spending time with them, so expect lots of baby photos when I get back.


Enjoy your week end...

Blessings

At the moment I am doing a bit of weaving and making wall hangings.


I am really enjoying the slow rhythm of weaving.... Adding in differant textils and texture is fun as well.


I am now going tp start on a bigger one and see how that goes.....


It is a square one and I am hoping I can make cushion covers with this size...

Enjoying your week all, I need to get moving to make it to town on time...
