I haven't ventured in to weed as I'm a bit terrified of the snakes that are lurking. Even my paddock grass around the house is very tall and THICK. when I mowed the other day, I came back around the loop on the ride on, and I saw that the mower had chopped up a deadly eastern brown snake and I hadn't even noticed! The grass is that thick!<br />The temperatures are only around the 35 degree celcius mark but do get up to over 40 sometimes, HOT! though we haven't had a hot summer really as there's been so much rain. But now there is plenty of mold around!<br /><br />We do get tired of the seasons, here we only seem to have a few weeks of autumn and spring and the summer and winter dominate!Mummaduckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538993178188989025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-11471671688435607942012-03-01T07:51:46.597-08:002012-03-01T07:51:46.597-08:00Kathy I did some shopping and bought more flowers....Kathy I did some shopping and bought more flowers.<br />Feeling better and the sky is blue today.<br />Nice weather and boring are two words I would not expect in the same breath.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-49241501575826906292012-03-01T07:50:15.771-08:002012-03-01T07:50:15.771-08:00Welcome Nova.

(She lives on the eastern side of the country which is already this early in the year threatened with drought.) The large garden, transformed from a former car park, was planted never to require watering, and was an absolute delight!Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.com
