19 Sept 08. The weather started closing in. No rain but we've not been able to progress much further than this because of gale force winds. And it's icy cold! I'm blaming Cape Town and the snow on Table Mountain. Most unseasonal. hrmph.
It has been so hot that it's hard to get to good shots. Some were taken in the mid afternoon and some in the evening. Just documenting the progress of the garden for the midseason point for the year.
We Book Club Girls go a'painting and a'drinking some wine. Had a lovely afternoon at Macchia learning some skills and chatting about books. Love these chicks.
Plan D v3.14. Bent tubes aren't going to cut it for mounting the diesel without lengthening the entire frame. So, bought a tool for cutting angles in tubes, both round and square. Looks like I'm finally getting somewhere.
Progress we have made so far. I'm trying something different for my flower bed this year. Instead of planting annuals, I planted Wintergreen Boxwood and Variegated Asian Sweet Flag. I am going to put a little Jizo statue in the middle and a Japanese lantern in the corner. I am just waiting for them to arrive now :)
This is a photograph of my apple AND orange. I have decided against the idea of making two different fruit bowls of opposite colors. Instead of doing that, I am making one fruit bowl and I am going to incorporate wire into my project. As you can see, the stem of the apple is made of wire, and I am currently experimenting using wire on the orange. The stems of the banana, grapes and pear will be made of wire. I plan to have wire in all my fruits. Finally, the fruit bowl will be made of wire.
