Species gladioli

I thought these were boring, but I must admit, seen enmasse like this they look lovely, perhaps I will let them remain, they were under threat of eviction!

Virginia is creeping!

You will never guess what I have been doing this morning!

I have been under the house, gathering mushrooms from the two bags of mushroom compost I bought last week for the garden.   It is an excellent soil conditioner and if you are lucky you get a side crop of mushies before you spread it all over the garden!

The First Rose of Summer!

Now we are just waiting for Summer!   It has been so windy, cold and horrible, wish it would warm up a little.   

Off to the Cinema this afternoon, to see Gravity, heard lots of good reports about it, and anyway it has George Clooney for me, and Sandra Bullock for Ken, albeit well rugged up in Space Suits!! 

Sunday drive

We took a drive down to The Huon on Sunday, to a little place run by an acquaintance from Teahouse days!   The view of Sleeping Beauty from our window was lovely but the dessert could have been tastier, why do they have to spoil something by microwaving it, especially pastry.   I had cherry pie and Ken enjoyed his honeycombe something or other.   But the cheese platter we had shared beforehand was ok.

Tasmanian Warratah

This is our National Flower and these are from neighbour Ann's garden.   Arn't they beautiful, so is the tree but most of they were too high up for me to pinch!

Diane's Eightieth.

Yesterday we had a surprise afternoon tea at Joan's house to celebrate the upcoming BIG birthday of Diane.   Hope they don't make a habit of it, as it could be my turn next!!!
