Red galpinii - finally - first flower!

Saw this on the weekend (19th Aug) and was so pleased! Finally!

I look forward to the fence being awash with red flowers!

Summery day

Panoramic view.

All da boidies..

and the palms.

Backyard shots

I moved the plants from out the back, to around to the side for more sun and to create a more garden effect on the 'patio'. I still need a lot more, and bigger ones.

Starting to flower this August 2017

Beautiful pink

From Mum's garden - the brilliant red colour (given her from Sonia in Childers)

Jasmine is flowering!

Oh happy day!

The jasmine at the front of the house is flowering! I weaved a bit more around the wire so it would stand up more, and oh the fragrance was lovely! So summer-y!

I took some off-cuts inside to put in a vase.

Shane Stephensen and Dan the draftsman came round this morning to see my house and discuss building needs,

and I have a day off tomorrow (for the Brisbane Ekka, which I am not attending)!

Note 18 Jan 2018: Just pulled out this jasmine as it died for some reason. What a shame.

Update: 16 Aug 2017:

It's the Ekka People's day. I am heavy a big rest day - no work, nothing. Just a bit here and there and plenty of sitting. No visiting. Just maybe get a pedicure and some more plastic stems from K Mart as they look quite good in this basket (below).

I feel very low and weary of it all. Hope I get my mo-jo back.

Sunday afternoon visitors

Cynthia and Doug visited on their way to Noosa. They have been my parents friends for 45 years.

We had coffee on my back verandah. It was pleasant. Anthony is home from Mt Isa, and en route to Cobar for a 6 year stint.

Latest hair trim
