Spring time in Sale Botanic Gardens Sale, Victoria Australia

​The Noisy Miner is a bird native to Australia which decided to come for a feed as I was admiring the flowers on the New Zealand Mountain flax.

​The Friends were working in and around the tennis courts and the Garden For Life last Thursday. Lots of trimming done.
Thank you Dawn for sharing these photos.

WOW I am finally getting to this behind because I like to write in the morning, and it it is 3:30 PM all ready.  The morning just flew by and not getting much done.  You have all had days like that I know.  Must be the snowstorm, we are still cleaning up.  We had a good 10” and it is cold so it will be here for a while.  Snow always makes work, and it seems early to have this work starts soon.  It is going to be cold, and wind chills in effect.  Stay warm, stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends Dec 1st marks their first day of summer.  One of them wrote and said it has been the coldest start of summer.  But I noticed this week they will have 102F(39C).  They have also been having lots of rain, and thunderstorms.  So, their gardens and lawns are nice and green.  You will see it in some of the pictures that I have posted from the Sale Botanic Gardens, Sale, Victoria Australia.  
When Evelyn has been back, and she has come to help in the greenhouse one question she asked was “Where was my hat?”  You will notice that many of the gardeners wear hats.  They have high exposure to the sun and skin cancer is a concern.  I have started to wear the garden hat when I am working in the greenhouse.  I think of Ev and the Australia’s when I wear hats. Stay cool, stay safe. 
You can think of them working in the gardens, mowing lawns while we are here moving that white stuff.
