Good morning everyone.
The sun is out and the day is looking good. yesterday was mild in the morning then deteriorated into squally showers after lunch with a cold wind.
You would not believe that we went over to Hamilton for the car service and my hearing aid readjustment and I forgot to take the hearing aids.....
Hubby thought it was funny but now I have to make a new appointment. I felt a fool when I had to explain to the very nice lady in the office.
The brain must have been having a granny moment....lol

Dianne, sounds like you have a full fruit basket there. I have given up on ever beating the birds to any fruit. We have 2 fig trees and have never had a fig. The birds pick holes in them before they even get to grow..
The apples are usually pecked to pieces too and the grapes..... well...I do remember having a few once.
The only fruit we get to have a feed of are the blood plums and the nectarines.
Mainly because there are just too many for the birds to ruin.
I love all your flowers .

I have irises coming out now. ..There are as many flowers on the old ones I tossed aside in clumps as there are on the ones I kept in the main iris beds.
I have heaps of buds on the epis too.

Hello Teresa, colleen, Karen and Anthony.
Hello also to Charleen , Al and Moon.

I hope everyone is enjoying pleasant weather.

I am off outside to enjoy the sun here.

Heres a nice treat for morning tea...Apple and Blueberry Shortcake..

Happy gardening everyone.
Jean.
