A Hot Week



I found this sweet small brown  and cream transfer ware tureen circa 1900 for $3 in my fave church shop ...I love the shell shaped handles.I have a small collection of this colour and I love it


It has been a hot week and I have spent the week pulling out or pruning and the garden is looking very parched










Hot dawn



A full moon on a very hot night




The girls cleaning up the nectarine windfall...we had a huge crop....happy not to eat another one for a year



Clematis












A few summer roses still


Sedum slowly turning pink


This little Williewagtail is too cute 


Baby birds splashing on a very hot day




Was it something I said Sascha?

    Such beauty, I am just starting to think about the garden as Spring is in the air. A great find at the thrift store.

    A lovely snapshot of your garden Meg and the trials and tribulations of the very hot summer you have experienced....I hope Autumn will be very kind to you and the garden. I too love watching the little birds at play they certainly know how to entertain...have you a great week.

    The birds usre were enjoying splashing around. My cats sleep like yours as well, and I think it is cute how they cover their eyes.

    Those baby birds..sooo sweet!!We are losing a Pittosporum which has been in front of my sewing room window for 15 years, but this last heat wake has been too much for it, and half the tree is dead.I am sad because the New Holland Honey eaters have built nests there for all those years.I am going to miss seeing the babies!I hate to see a tree die!
