Rock, Paper, Scissors

I was sorting through my photos and the "rock, paper, scissors" thing just popped into my head, so today is a very frivolous post:

Moss and Mushrooms

Strange things are growing in my garden!



It's amazing seeing what can happen when you have a week of heavy rain after an 8 month drought.

It just goes to show how resilient nature is.

Hyde Park Take 2

Not long ago I did a post bemoaning the sorry state of Hyde Park after the long hot Summer - the lakes were almost empty and the birds had almost all left.

How things change after a week of heavy rain....

What's on your fridge?

Most people have a fridge not because they like fridges but because they are a fairly essential domestic appliance.

It's hard to ignore a large humming object in your kitchen, so why not put it to another use, like a pinboard?

 Cut out  little stencil shapes and then cover some magnets with vintage fabric to attach them to the fridge

Keep an eye out in op-shops for vintage shopping lists - always useful!

Rummage through old photos and rotate your favourite ones

Lovely old postcards never go amiss either

And, of course there is always the practical option - a calendar, timetables and random notes

My Garden Loves the Rain

How clean and fresh everything looks in the garden after all the rain we have had this week!

 I have just planted some sweet pea seedlings and they are absolutely shooting up in this weather.

Stormy Sky in Perth

Just as the rain was starting yesterday morning I dashed outside to try and capture the stormy sky.

There is an old saying "Red sky in the morning - shepherd's warning, red sky at night - shepherd's delight".

I hope the shepherds took note yesterday morning!

The Letter O

The letter O is everywhere.
