It is just too hot!

 Our new rose (Blue Moon) has given us some lovely blooms to enjoy.

 Our summer weather does not affect our cactus plants.

 We have enjoyed seeing these fuchsias blooming

 as well as the lavender.

The above is an Australian Native Yellow Hibiscus.   Lovely pleated petals.
Needless to say this flower did not last in all the heat!

We in Victoria have experienced a very hot week with temperatures in 40cs.  We expect a cool change very soon and it will be very welcome!  Our thoughts are with the people threatened by fires at this time.

That's all for now.

Happy New Year!

This is the first sunrise for 2014.  A few moments after I took this picture of the sun rising behind the Dandenong Ranges  grey clouds came down and it has been a mostly cloudy day since!

Wishing every one a happy and peaceful 2014.

That's all for now,

Christmas Greetings

 I could not resist this card of owls representing a Christmas Tree.  They are so cute!!

I wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas with family and friends.

Yarn Garden

 Outside my local library I noticed this Yarn Garden made by a few of the local schools in our area.

    It certainly brightened up the area and added more greenery to the open space.

   I took these pictures with my 'phone camera to capture this event.

    Such creativity!  It is lovely to see that some young people are learning some of the crafts.

That's all for now

Mornington Peninsula Patchworkers Exhibition



I would like to share with you a few of the lovely quilts I saw at the Quilt Show.  The following is only a small sample of the lovely quilts I enjoyed.





There were quilts with bright colours



as well as lots of lovely applique

The blocks in this Dear Jane quilt were all hand pieced!

Yesterday

Yesterday I went for a walk around the Ringwood Lake

It was a lovely sunny spring day with a cool breeze

These ducks took advantage of the nice day by spending time in the water

I think this bird was trying to ignore me!

These are a couple of the lovely spring flowers out in bloom at the moment

That's all for now.

Last day of September

Whilst going for a walk I saw these tulips

and these pretty pink bells

as well as this pretty standard

and these cactus plants.

Spring is a lovely time of of the year.

That's all for now,
