Oh my goodness it has been cold the last couple of days! We got down to -4 °C yesterday and -2 °C this morning brrrr! The overnight temperatures during June were much milder so these frosty mornings are a bit hard to get used to. I suppose we just have to expect more of this now that we are into the middle month of winter! I love my gardening but it’s easy to spend most of your time inside when the weather is this cold. One activity that is enjoyable to do outside this weather is having a … [Read more...]
Links I Love from May
If you want to see some great recipes, craft, DIY or gardening ideas then you need to check out these awesome links that I saw during May! May was a fairly quiet month in the garden flower wise. With the cool weather most of the plants are settling in for winter. However one plant that has been flowering lately is the native emu bush (eremophila) in our garden. These plants originate in Western Australia but also seem to grow well, with little care, in south eastern Australia. We have a few … [Read more...]
Links I Love from April
It was the first really cold autumn night we have had last night! It got down to around 1 °C, so it was almost a frost! April was rather mild really considering it’s the second month of autumn. The photo that I am sharing this month is of one of our ornamental pear trees. It’s about the only tree in our yard that has given us some autumn colour so far! The others will have to get a wriggle on because we only have a month to go and we will be into winter! Today I’m having a look back at the … [Read more...]
Links I Love from March
Well we’re officially a quarter of a way through the year! March is in the rear view mirror and April is ahead of us! That means that Easter is just around the corner and snacking on chocolate eggs is getting more and more tempting. I refuse to buy Easter eggs early in the new year but once it gets to within a month of Easter I can’t resist buying a few! Actually as I write this post I’m munching on a few chocolate eggs! My favourite would have to be Caramello Eggs, do you have a … [Read more...]
Links I Love from February
Now that February is behind us we are officially into autumn! Temperature wise it is still quite hot but there is a chill in the air at night that wasn’t there a month ago. It will be sad to say good bye to summer but I am looking forward to some cooler weather. The main reason for that is because it will mean the end of our snake season. We worry every year about our cats being bitten by snakes and this year Wally was! It was touch and go for a while but thankfully he is pretty much fully … [Read more...]
Links I Love from January
This summer seems to be just flying! I can’t believe that we are into the last month of summer! It seems like only yesterday it was the start of January and now we’ll be into autumn at the end of this month! When I was a kid the summer holidays seemed to last forever. Now the weeks, months, and even years just seem to disappear so quickly! Perhaps time goes faster as an adult because we have more that we are trying to get done! One part of summer that I still have to look forward to is … [Read more...]
Links I Love from December
We’ve been into January for well over a week now so I thought it was about time I have a look back at some of the great blog posts that I saw during December. Seeing that this post is about December it goes without saying that it will contain Christmas links. Just about everyone was sharing their best Christmas recipes, craft, and DIY ideas; so I had to include a few! As usual I will provide the direct link as well an image in the form of a Pinterest pin. So you can head straight to the … [Read more...]
Links I Love from November
Welcome back to my regular monthly Links I Love post. Today I will be sharing some of the great links that I saw during November. A few days ago I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to do this month’s link I love post. I didn’t think that I would be able to include the Pinterest pins because Pinterest wasn’t working for me. Actually for much of the last week of November I could only see coloured squares in Pinterest. It was very frustrating! I checked out some forums and was relieved to see … [Read more...]
