Maybe...one day...soon

Lots of changes going on around here - some good, some sad, some happy, some just inevitable and some exciting.

This time next week we will be in our "new" place...so many memories will be left behind in what has been our home for the past eighteen years...but I cannot dwell, this is a change we wanted and have been working on for about ten years...





My garden has literally bloomed too early this year - it is saying Good-bye and Thanks to me - the wisteria over the verandah has put on a show like never before, and there is colour and foliage in every single plant I have nurtured.

I started this garden from scratch - there was nothing here when we moved in. There had been goats in the yard, which was a blessing in disguise. They had eaten everything they could get to, but their manure meant that all I had to do was drop a seed or put in a cutting and just watch it grow...the early years of my garden were a lot of fun, and then, like a child, it just began to grow on its own and spread out comfortably, growing into its siblings in the garden beds...

I am grateful for this colourful good-bye from my garden, I will always remember the breathtaking beauty of the past few weeks.


.......back soon....time to start from scratch again...
