I took the last photos of my summer flowers. I knew the hard frost was coming and it did. This weekend I will pull all the dead plants out and prepare the soil and beds for winter. It was such a great gardening year! Now looking through gardening websites and books gearing up for next year!!! :-)
Spring is almost here and time to start working in the garden.
Peter and Oleg go to help Mommy Marian.
OLEG: Come Peter, let's go into the garden to help Mommy Marian. I drive the tractor with trailer through the garden. We load the trailer with dead leaves and take them to the compost bin.
PETER:
Can I sit in the trailer Oleg?
OLEG: Good, but hold tight! Here we go.
PETER:
Have you ever sat on a tractor Oleg before?
OLEG: No.
PETER:
Do you know how to steer?
OLEG: Eh ... no
I'll put my foot on the pedal and we'll see what happens.
PETER:
Oleg ... Watch out. You drive to a big hole.
OLEG:
We have a problem. We are stuck
"The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul."

Today we have had the most sunny day of the week (things will go downhill again weatherwise in the next days). My sister and I spent the morning at a gardening exhibition which usually takes place every year but in the last two years had had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. I bought several plants and when I returned home I was busy in the garden under the watchful eyes of the cats. Especially Sethi was very interested in what I was doing.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
Time well spent one day last week preparing my plot for growing flowers, fruit and vegetables, and balancing rocks on my newly widened slate path
Watching for worms and any other tasty morsels that might be disturbed when I'm gardening, especially when I'm digging the soil. Sometimes, one will fly right down beside me to capture what it has spotted.
Feisty and plucky birds they are. Synonymous with life here in Australia and I love them so.
Often times a group of them in the nearby trees will let rip with their famous call. A call to establish territory between family groups.
And even now after all these years, it will stop me in my tracks; the sheer volume and ruckus they make. And I smile as I look up at the noisy party with their heads thrown back bringing forth their glorious Antipodean vocal expression.

I couldn't figure out what to name this one but then this REM song got stuck in my head randomly. These were plants outside at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY around Thanksgiving and it was the first time I used my Macro lens at night because it's a lot harder. I did enjoy the odd colors, though, and although I ended up not keeping as many photos overall, I enjoyed the unexpected quality of the ones I did keep. So, sometimes, the urge to create and capture beauty doesn't stop when the sun goes down....
