Taffy and Teenie in bowls!


What a lovely kitty!








22 October, 2020 - Teenie sat in a garden bowl today. Amusing! 'If it fits, I sits'







Dirk's grapevine

Has grown tall this season. I have strung it up so that it grows as cover along my walkway cover at the back. Love the light shining through it.








Garden shots - early Feb 2017


One of the bougs going berserk - I fertilised them not long ago with seasol. She seems to have loved it, and has sent up this sentinel! I want to espalier her on my tall fence eventually.


Anthony's vehicles parked on the block, whilst he is in Mt Isa working.


Little vignette. I bought the cage-bird-thing from a lady in Bundamba, who has a lovely old miner's cottage from the 1890's. She has since introduced me to a number of local gardening groups, for which I am grateful! She loves French things and already has an exquisite garden.

Latest crepe myrtle flowers

She is doing so very well. I am loving the pretty white.



Update: Look at her now, in Jan 2019! So much bigger!

The new kitty - tiny Tina

Tina has quickly adapted. She already knows where home is, and, at just 8 weeks old, is very chilled about it! Must have been born around end Oct - mid Nov 2016.


She's a beautiful girl! and quite ok with being outside in the garden.





An attempt at hiding

Bought these three oval garden beds ($35 each) plus soil (from Sapar $80) to plant a sweet potato vine, which will grow quickly and hide my back garden from cars on the corner street opposite. That's the idea.




and...below,

the finished beds, baking in the sun. Hope the plants survive - sweet potato vine and orange trumpet winter creeper.



Mum visits!

Here's Mum sitting in my new (second hand) armchair watching The Bold and The Beautiful on TV. She arrived just before 4 then realised she would have to tune in over here.
It's nice to have her here in a normal capacity. Relaxed.
Documenting her visits is important as they don't often happen!
