Summer is making its presence felt
we have for Tassie had some pretty hot days.
The garden is holding up well.

OK OK
it wasn't long ago when I was telling Hewey he could stop the rain.
But it is getting oh so dry now.
Do ponder the question of having so much lawn,
having to keep it green and having to water it throughout the summer.
But I insist.
Its a hangover from the farm days
when the paddocks around the farmhouse
towards the end of summer were scorched dry.
Where I worked hard to keep the garden/lawn lush and green,
( we had a good water supply )
It was our little green oasis away from the heat and dust,
gave us much needed and appreciated respite from it all.
Of course with summer taking its toll
am finding it hard to find flowers for inside plonking
so am up to my usual trick adding some real to fake.
Works a treat.
