The escapee
Surely my ladylike Moggie cannot possibly be saying to her Mother just what that tail suggests!
Her Aunt came up with that suggestion!
If my lawn looks like things have been dug up.......they have. Dandelions. Must buy more seed.
Tis May and the last month of an Australian Autumn
It is cold, which is so much better than hot. I find myself so reluctant to put the heater on as I hate a hot house when I head for bed but recent days have actually found me bounding out of bed to put the said heater on. I did have a visitor coming!
But the rain I love and I managed to spend a whole week at home, hiding nicely and keeping dry and hopefully avoiding the bugs of the season.
The greatest joy of this time of the year is seen by looking out my kitchen window.
It is a glory vine and it is so hard to believe it grows this large when it has been pruned back after all the leaves have dropped.
It is probably a costly little number after I pay to have it trimmed back and disposed of but I love Autumn and love this vine.
It even looks good on a cold grey day in the rain.
This is the view at the back in the last photos. You can see the Japanese maple peeping through. It is the only one of my three that is not well burned by the sun.
It is busy climbing up an apple tree in the vegetable garden.
This is the frame that I spent a fortune on having put up so that I could grow wisteria safely.
Yep...wisteria.
I had one for 17 years and it never flowered.
I purchased one in flower the year before last and it failed to flower in its second year. They just hate me. I must have spent close to $200 buying them over the years. Hence I tend to hiss when I drive around and see them growing so easily elsewhere.
I even put up an arch frame to get it more sun!
But the frame does work for the glory vine.....although it seems to be rotting with age. A little like the owner I guess!
