Spring time in Sale, VIctoria, Australia

​ I adore an early morning walk through the gardens, especially when there’s a misty fog hovering.
These photos are featuring some of the plants in The Garden For Life where there’s a depthless water feature and seats for families to enjoy in the warmer weather.

Even though the Echiums, commonly known as Pride of Maderia are fading, the pollinators are still visiting. Pictured alongside the honey bee is the Yellow Admiral butterfly which is native to Australia, New Zealand, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island.

Good morning, and another awesome Indian Summer Day.  Temperature will be close to 60F(16C) today.  More clouds than yesterday but the slight breeze is out of the south.  It is time to work outside again.  I hopefully will get all I need to clean up and move inside today. Larry is busy moving things around for the winter and out of the way of snow.  I usually do weekly letters to shut ins and youth, but I haven’t been doing that till I get the outside work picked up.  Hopefully I can finish that today.  And get back to my weekly mailings.  I give out about 20 each week.   How are you coming?  Looks like next week it will be cooler, so the time is now.  Stay safe and enjoy. 
 
Australia family and friends are enjoying their spring weather.  Today, Nov 14 Friday will be a little warmer than us. High of 66F(18C).  Evelyn wrote that she had picked her cherries from her cherry tree.  Larry helped her develop a netting system so the birds don’t enjoy them before she can pick them.   Stay safe, and enjoy.
 
I am posting pictures from the Friends of the Sale Botanic Garden to give us some enjoyment out of spring with them.  Larry and I got to meet this volunteer as one of Evelyn’s friends, so that makes it more special.  Enjoy spring from down under.
