The weather is turning to autumn. We've had sunny days and gorgeous afternoons. I came home one day to find this rainbow framing my neighbour's house. Not much gold in their garden though.
The birds are loving berries in the trees. It was exciting to see a pair of gang gang cockatoos feasting in the ash tree. They are quite rare around here.
Autumn means the start of the netball season. Claire dons the pink of the Divas club for the first time, while Rosemary is still a Shooting Star. Two very close losses for the first game, with not much training left us feeling quite hopeful about the season ahead.
Some hard work in the garden saw a clean out of the pond and some new planting.
When the plant man at the markets has little potted pansies at 50 cents each it is hard not to buy up big time (I beat him down to 24 plants for $10). Now for some more fish.
A day in the fresh air at Loriendale orchard's annual apple day. This is an organic orchard out near Hall that sells heritage and heirloom (is there a difference?) apple varieties. We bought Snowys, Coxes Orange Pippins, a few Bramleys and two kilos of my favourite - Topaz. They are not uniform, or pretty, but the flavour is sensational. Plus some lunacy from the children.
And to finish, the roses are having their autumn flush. Very nice indeed.
