    Golly @Busy-Lizzie, puts my weeding efforts into the shade. A lovely veg garden, beautifully looked after, ours are still empty. Might sow the runner beans and peas tomorrow in their loo rolls. Been holding off because of the awful weather.

    The weather hasn't been so awful in SW France.

    Morning all. I’ve woken to a rainless day, but the prediction is for the temps to drop. Snow snow expected  in Tassie.

    We’ve been for a drive around the back and were pleased to see that all of our dams are either full or close to it. 👏👏. Here’s one.


    Note the wombat diggings in the foreground 😡😡.

    Good morning all.
    What a difference some rain makes @Pat E

    You’re right there Hosta. We are very grateful. 

    BusyL, your veggie patch is really impressive. Makes me feel a bit guilty. I haven’t been doing much this last year or so. Might get started in spring.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Love that photo @Pat E  😊 
    it’s wet out there ... apparently we have 100% likelihood of rain for 100% of the day ... I think that’ll be enough for the next little while ... thank you 🙏

    Hi Dove. Yes I like that dam as well.

      I planted that willow when it was just a little broken branch. Amazing how nature can survive. It was from a tree across the road from us in Canberra about 40 years ago. A truck had run into our neighbour’s tree and just drove off and left the mess all over the lawn. I helped Lyn pick it all up and asked could I take a couple of pieces. Of course she said yes. (She has since died, but our son is still friendly with her son).  That’s why I like to look at that tree. Lovely memories. 😃

    Memories like that are so important to us aren’t they @Pat E ... marks on the landscape that have a personal significance 😊

    Good morning @Dovefromabove and @Pat E,  nature is wonderful isn't it, so good to have such tangible and positive memories.

    I am having a gardening day today, now it's stopped raining, my seedlings are going in the ground, ready or not, otherwise they won't be in until September.  :wink:
