Spring 2020 grapevines

Heaps of little florets on the small fruit, dropping as green 'fairy-dust' to the table and floor below.  Plenty of bees buzzing about - I can hear them as soon as I step out the back door. I don't know how the vine is going to hold so many bunches this coming season!






Cluse-up of the baby flowers, and fairy-dust mounds!

Mowed the lawn

 Apparently we are anticipating some rainfall in the next few days. So, after work yesterday arvo, despite a slight dribble of rain, I mowed inside and outside the fence, to ensure all was tidy for another week. 

Teenie joined me for a short rest to survey the work done! Still very dry, so the coming rain is very welcome.

Early baby grapes Oct 2020 - Jan 2021

 I am surprised at how prolific the grape vines above the utilities walk appear to be. So many bunches of tiny grapes! I'm wondering how the vine can support and ripen all of them.

Anne asked me about them yesterday.



22 October, 2020 - I took some better photos this morning (my day off). There are so many bracts of grapes, and they must be the flowers, which fall before fruit, because there is green fairy dust all over the utilities walk. And the bees! I can ear them humming as soon as I step outside!





23 Nov 2020 - Plenty of grapes developing!






24 Jan 2021 - bounty!






It rained!

 I heard it falling at about 1.30am this morning, and arose to take a cup of tea and watch it fall outside. It was lovely, and this morning the ground looks damp. It was not heavy rain, but fell steadily and was enough to soak in for the planties!

Stencil the walls and patio

 I want this stencil in damask cream/white in the bathroom; 

or gold modern masters gold metallic paint

on my bedroom walls, in perhaps the lightest pink

and 

on the floor of the patio in light grey.

This one would be good for the leafy look on the floor of the verandah, only with more ivy looking leaves

or more loose leafy looks like this https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aFclRHuVO/

And for the kitchen backsplash, something in light whites and creams, like this

I'd like to stencil a cabinet to look like this -

Maybe something like this on the back wall of my house?

Stencil a floor rug

 I am wanting to stencil a large floor rug onto the patio floor, or perhaps an all over tile pattern, with the 'rug' in certain areas.
