Little orchid cometh up
I think these are called Christ orchids. I am pleased to note the colour is different to the orange ones I have had before.
First winter fog in our area
Welcome to Winter! The first official day is today. There was a fog this morning, too, still evident at 7am.
Big new leaves
Many of the palm leaves are growing longer than the fence height now. I am so pleased, as I love the look. It's (the garden) is beautiful, the new leaves are beautiful.

Front door pots
I finally managed to find the time and energy to repot these ficus standards into the pots I had bought for them, ages ago, maybe even last year. I think the slimmer, more upright shape suits the area better.
Better than the older black plastic pots, I reckon. (The below pic from 26 Oct, 2019).

Driveway ideas
I noticed this cross-hatched driveway yesterday - rather like this pattern and effect.
28 May 2020
Cost is the thing. I want the house remodelled but more immediately, I need a driveway that is not messy. It might be an idea to do the wheel tracks first as concrete?Wednesday, May 27, 2020
Taffy, post-op
27 May 2020 - She seems pretty good now. She is very needy though, and almost never leaves my side. Here she is, listening to some relaxing cat music, via Youtube, beside me. I quite like it too - very relaxing.

Tutti on the staircase
26 May, 2020 - The back garden is a bit of an eyesore, given the staircase is still there. But it will eventually be used. Right now, the kitties love sitting under the cover in the warmth and shade. This is the first time I have seen Tutti sitting on the top of it, basking in the sun.
