One thing (amongst many) that I do really love about living on our Mountain here in Victoria, Australia is Spring.
To put it mildly it is AMAZING
It just bursts with colour, life and sun (with smatterings of rain)
This year we were again lucky to have a few open gardens close to home...
The one I am featuring here is my favourite and belongs to a neighbour of ours just down the road.
We strolled down to this garden on the weekend ~ I'll let the pictures do the talking
Keep in mind that when they purchased this property it was covered in blackberry, holly and weeds...
(most photos taken by our youngest girl who is loving photography at the moment)
The trough garden, loved this area...
This kookaburra was getting narky cause the owners hadn't given him his minced meat yet... (he gets fed at our house too so he's a demanding little fella!)
You know like when you have a cat that belongs to the street and gets weirdly fat
Cause he's eating at three different homes.
This kookie is like that...
I think thats why he laughs so much..
and of course we tiptoed through the tulips...
I'm thinking I would like a lawn like that (once i get rid of the onion weed..)
and a garden shed with leadlight windows ~ dreaming...
and some garden paths without weeds in them like this...
my youngest commented, well at least we have the hedges...
did I mention how I want that lawn?...
and elegant steps like these?...
and maybe a little greenhouse for those rare woodland plants..
And those rough Australian tree ferns...
Yes feeling very inspired after visiting our neighbours garden..
They are only a few houses down from us..
So I figure
If they can do it.
We can do it.
It only took them 30 years..
I had better get started...
