New Year's Day - frangis!

1 Jan 2018.

I have my first flower on the traditional frangi given me by Lindy Ramsay. Lovely, and the fragrance is gorgeous.

And some 'fruit salad' frangis given me by Tracey, who used to live at the back of me. First flowers since I transplanted them! They're getting quite big out the front now.

I'm spending New Year's Eve right here!

Hey Ma, look what I made! It could be worse, right?

One day, you won't notice those damned power poles for all my trees, instead! Good thing - the climbing rose is racing up the arch.

Update (arch view): 5 Jan 2017 - 

That climbing rose will hide the power pole eventually!

Reality!

Some pics of the ugly bits of the house and garden! I keep them neat but I would so love to get rid of the ugliness! However, this will take some time. I believe there is more beauty than ugliness though. Thankfully.
