Another Colourful...

Another colourful mini book library which I noticed at Garvey Park last week.

I am pretty certain it's a new addition since my last visit to this park earlier in the year.

These little library boxes are always painted beautifully, this one is gorgeous.

I do wonder whether these are found in other countries, as it's such a good idea.

I have found a couple of good books in these over the years, and always stop to have a look in case there's something of interest left inside...

 

The First...

The first of the spring bulbs have begun to bloom, well those bulbs not dug up by the quendas that is!

I settled down to weed and pull out Kikuyu grass around them, when the girls showed up to forage in the freshly disturbed soil. 

The chickens love it when I am out pottering in the garden, and they always come to see what I am doing.

The ground was so incredibly dry, so I have organised some mulch to feed and insulate the earth.

With spring seeming to be already here, without much of a winter, which more than likely means summer is also on its way far too early as well.

I am really looking forward to the daffodils opening, I always have thought daffodils are like tiny little suns, they simply radiate happiness with their vibrant yellow hue. I put quite a variety of bulbs in, and can't really remember where I planted what. So it's going to be quite a surprise to see what eventually blooms...

 

The Garden Is...

The garden is beginning to explode with colour slightly too early, thanks to a very warm and dry winter.  

I embraced a beautiful unseasonal sunny day, taking in the scents and busyness of my private little oasis. 

Many of my wildflowers are thriving and attracting an array of honeyeaters bees and insects. 

I was happy to see that my pineapple orange tree has three oranges ripening, I hope this year I actually get to enjoy one. 

Last year the gardens residents beat me to it. 

As gorgeous as this day was, I have missed the rainy cold days which winter normally brings...
