There has been sunshine and rain this week, the days have been everything from warmer to freezing cold and in no particular order.   Longing for spring and warmer days and sunshine instead of grey skies.

The early morning sun was shining through the trees and throwing a shadow of the lantern, that hangs on the veranda, onto the window.   I tried to photograph the shadow, if you look carefully, there is a shadow.

This is our local young kookaburra, he just quietly waits around.  He was also enjoying the sunshine.

Then we had 24 hours of constant heavy rain…


These little birds found a dry place…

And the sun is shinning today…and hopfully it will be a little warmer.

There hasn’t been very much sewing lately as I have been sick for a couple of weeks. After two prescriptions of antibiotics I am beginning to feel better.  Even though today is wet and dull, spring weather is beginning to make the garden grow and bloom.  

This cake I made the other day is mainly walnuts and was very nice for desert.

    
A cup of tea on the veranda at this time of year is very enjoyable.

 We went out the other day and left the door into the garage open, and this visitor was in a bedroom when we got home.   

This baby rosella was sheltering from the rain…

 And  the bleating tree frogs are making a reappearance  for spring.    You wouldn’t believe the amount of noise these tiny frogs  can make.   

And the magnolia at the front of our house is starting to bloom, this is the first flower of the season.

 
I will be back soon with some stitching pictures, I have been working on finishing some long waiting projects.
