Longer Days

Anyone notice that the days are getting longer - not warmer, just longer? A lovely 32mm of rain this week helped keep the gardens moist. Richard has begun tackling the last section of the yard, quite a large area, too. It's an area that has never been developed properly. It was originally to be lawn but with the water situation as it is, there's no chance of that now. We want to plant trees, shrubs, perrenials, maybe a pond as well. Another large area of lawn will be incorporated into the new venture. There could be a few animated discussions in the next few weeks as we already seem to have differing ideas as to how it should look. At this stage we can still laugh about it and say "Well, I'm having this in MY garden, and you can have what you like in YOUR garden." The fact that we are talking about the same piece of ground is a mere detail.

ShellyC and the family will return from Switzerland this weekend. Canberra winter after a Swiss summer will be a bit of a shock.
