This Winter

A few photos to show what I have been doing since my last post...none of me reading several books a week though!
The patio at the back of this house tends to flood during heavy rain...it had also gone very green so I borrowed Gordon's pressure cleaner yesterday and looks brand new again...


I stood this pot of nasturtiums on an upturned plant pot and love the cascade of green...Twitch eats the leaves too...


one of the many beautiful roses from our front garden...



Flooding on a main road near Fremantle...a near new Jag had broken down in the middle of this "puddle"..


I made new drawstring bags for Joe's chess group to keep the chess pieces clean and safe...


We both love polenta, either soft and creamy or firm and a little bit crusty...I baked these in the oven rather than frying them this time...


The mystery of the mess on my computer table each morning has been solved...why Twitch feels the need to climb up there when we go to bed he won't say but it makes us laugh as we hear his noisy progress...


I finished this throw rug knit from yarn given to me in Canada in 2009 by Priscilla and Will...knew it would come in handy one day...


Opposite my parent's home the golf course is looking very green and lush. This day Dad spotted a pet rabbit on their front garden, we followed it for ages but it just kept running away, sadly it didn't survive...Dad was late for golf and left his lunch on the table so I had to go and find him...


Spring flowers already...these narcissi  have the sweetest perfume imaginable...


Kwinana Hub on a wet Sunday morning...


A 3 kg tin of mixed beans for $6? Yep...I drained and rinsed them, split them into 5 portions, froze 4 and made bean patties with one lot...


Finally a mystery plant growing in our neighbour's garden...it is 8 ft tall, has soft stems and flowers almost non-stop...any idea what it could be?


Bunnies have the cutest bottoms...just saying


Bye bye for now,
Sue
