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...
What a beautiful send off Sandra and you have so much to look forward to as well.
