Rain, Colour and Song

There has been weeks of rain and I am having doubts about some of the veges, the tomatoes and others may succumb to mould if it keeps up. The Met Bureau says that it will continue until Autumn (March).

I may have to stop planting anything that doesn’t like wet feet and just control the weeds until the wet season is over

In the meantime here are a few splashes of colour from a rare sunny day.

Here are some potted pansies on my front veranda. I love looking at them when I walk up to the front door.

Some bright nasturtiums from the back yard, they are nice in a salad.

A few Snap Dragons in a pot on the front veranda.

Here is a beautiful Ivy Geranium from Hely’s. It sits on a table on the back veranda where I have a coffee.

The honeysuckle and jasmine are in full blossom and the perfume fills the air on still mornings.

As I write this I have been serenaded by a butcher bird sheltering from the rain on the back veranda, the song has been going on for over an hour. I am blessed. Butch looks a bit wet but a Pavarotti nevertheless.
