When I am at home one of my regular habits is to walk around the garden every morning before breakfast. It is a visual treat.
I have been away for the 4 months of winter, house sitting in the warm tropical North Queensland area. (If you would like to see more of our time up north click here) Now I am home it is a pleasure to wander out into our patch of paradise each day. We have good friends stay in the house and look after the garden for us. It has been a dry and very windy winter and Rex and June have watered and nurtured the garden through this difficult season.
So come with me as I wander around…
Bromeliads and succulents love this hot dry weather
Jack created these ponds from 3 old bath tubs
Buddha sits and meditates
Matilda sits and relaxes in her corner wondering what the next adventure will be
I hope you enjoyed your wander around our garden, now it is time to go inside and have breakfast
