Pretty "dry"..

The spring flowers beside my "dry river bed" are starting to fill out a bit more this week.

I love this cheery white daisy with it's blue centres.

The young hydrangea is looking really good and lush this year and is getting flower heads.
I don't know exactly what colour it will be yet.
Last year the flowers were a pale "greenish" shade so we decided to tip our tea-leaves around it to see if that changes the colour.
Apparently it should bloom a better blue shade now....here's hoping!

Empty it out and fill it up..

There are only two things my hubby has asked me to do in our garden.


 #1   Get rid of most of the grass.

#2   And fill the yard with flowers and colour.
I think I'm well on the way to fulfilling his desires :-D

Who wants some pizza?

Sunday was a good day for hubby to get stuck into rendering his home-made pizza oven.

 The air was still and the sun was HOT..
so he had to work fast before the render dried out too much to adhere properly.

 Slapping soft coloured cement onto a big beast like this is quite therapeutic!
And deeply satisfying when it's all done and dusted.
Good job, honey..it looks great!!
