In the backyard

We had plans to go out today,

but instead opted for an afternoon in the garden.

Why not enjoy it, after all our hard work lately?

A picnic afternoon tea,

some games, boules, an obstacle course ...

and when Steve suggested going to the corner shop

for an iceblock, the girls were out of there in a hurry.

Leaving me in the quiet garden.

Here you can see the fence which will soon be replaced:

Over the last weeks we (mostly Steve)

have cleared this whole fenceline of 20 years of 

lovely green vines -

jasmine, bouganvillea and more,

and plenty of agapanthus below.

It looks ugly and barren now,

but has potential, at least!
