The Cuttings

Its Spring here in Australia. I rained over night and I went for a walk in the morning, stopped and talked to one of the neighbours. He was sanding something and I asked for a cutting of one of his Pelergoniums - I didn't have that colour. I also got some trailing Geranium for my old wheelbarrow that was growing weeds. I usually have pansies in it, but thought the trailing geranium would last longer and survive on rainfall. I have taken some photos, mainly close-ups of things grwing and flowering. The poor lavender bush was laden with water from the rain - it actually looked better last week when it was dry. I have 3 different varieties of lavender.

It is so exciting and encouraging to see your comments on my last blog -with photo of us and our home. THANK YOU. welcome Caroline to following my blog.

Now for the photos. Hopefully I will learn how to place the photos amidst the writing. Of course they are at the top of the blog now because thats the way they load! See you soon!
