In The Garden

In the Garden I have planted some Garlic [a bit early] and some Sweet Peas [a bit late]  The Jacaranda trees I have grown from seed have been re-potted.  I hope they survive the Winter, because they all have good homes to go to.

These fabrics are from Spotlight.

I am very lucky that both our sons and their wonderful partners live not too far away and I get to see them often. Angus and Vicki have their own home and work locally. Angus is very skilled mechanically and Vicki is the creative talent of Nikolina's Florist and Gifts.
This is Angus & Vicki's new pup,  Crumpet.
Our younger son and his partner recently purchased a run down farm in the district and are working hard to improve it for their Stud Cattle. Tom works in the Dairy Industry and Nique is very talented and hard working Accountant.
