There's nothing like a good shower of rain or two, or even a thunderstorm, to freshen the most jaded garden. Even the weeds take on new life ...lol.
Even the galahs and pigeon looked happy.
(...and even the little terracotta bird on the edge of the feeder is washed and watchful...lol.)
What joyful music was the sound of water filling both tanks, which are now flowing over.
Your garden looks so fresh and lush, Alice! Did you have such a lot of rain? I'd like to change our season with yours ;-) !! Here definitely winter is coming!
ReplyDeleteHave a good time!

Alice your garden is beautiful. What is that other little bird there?
ReplyDeleteYour garden is simply gorgeous, especially that second shot with the brick wall and walkway, and all those flowers glowing in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYou have such 'happy gardens' - just looking at the pictures makes you feel jwabysuoy 'full'..
ReplyDeleteLOL !!! I don't know what happened, but when it posted the comment it put the verification letters in the middle of the word "joy" --
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful!!!
So glad you got some rain!! Your garden certainly looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteOur dandelions have just adored it all!! LOL.
Looking at these gorgeous pictures of your garden it's hard to believe you're suffering from a drought. It all looks so lush and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have enough rain to overflow the tanks!!!
Those pink and grey galahs make me homesick :) I don't remember seeing crested pigeons over there.
I notice the Centranthus is blooming madly :)
The colors by the boardwalk are such a pretty combination. Is that Swiss Chard I see (Silverbeet maybe)? Do you eat it or just use it as an ornamental? Looks pretty.
Ross says to tell Richard he's done a great job with the gardens. Yes, I'll smack him for you :)
I thought Linda was using an African word until I read her second comment LOL
