tis the season....

....when cotoneaster flowers send the bees into a frenzy.

When plump juicy rasberries, (in their second year)  fruit in abundance.

When the creatures earnestly get to the business of multiplying.

and glittering slug trails transform into minute mirrors. I wonder if they are used to check their appearances before the important date.

This spring, the first of a few bee houses is installed. Now the wait begins. 

Nearby, the foliage webbing spider, phryganoporus candidus, constructed a magnificent abode for its hundreds of family members.

The Tea tree is in blossom,

and Milles silverbeet going to seed.

and the photographer reluctantly posts a picture of herself.

 

 

Yesterdays skies, 

and todays flowers. 

 

complemented by a surprisingly delicious vegan, 'overnight tiramisu oats' for lunch. 

 Started the day lawn mowing, and despite problems with the machine, managed to repair and finish the task. The curse that is hay fever made me determined to rid the property of grass seeds, in the hope that a little relief might follow. After a good shower, I set to work on a linen thrift shop skirt. The adjustments made have transformed this poorly designed garment into a flattering, well fitting addition to my wardrobe. While sewing I couldn't resist capturing the light falling on the plant stand this afternoon. to improve the view however, I feel the window sill clutter will have to go. 

Peaceful Rainy Sunday
