We had some rain today. There were bad storms and floods last week on the southern coast of Victoria. Poor people would finally get back (after evacuation) to a muddy mess with things ruined. Thanks for your kind words about the things I post. Hope I can get photos on shortly. Take care, Ruth.

As for the creepy crawlies...I'm gaining a new respect for them since I've been taking more photos and many of them do help the garden.

Those dark skies look awful familiar to me. Good grief, first we had Summer in April and now we have Autumn in June/July. Whatever next?<BR/><BR/>Love the pics of the garden, those of the creepy crawlies less so. I wonder why? ;-)Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.com
