First day of Winter
It has been raining for days here, yesterday the rain ceased up so we had a chance to get out to the backyard.
I used to live in a villa with a backyard around 6 x 4 in size and no front yard. There were a few plants out the front which I could not look after and died. The plants surrounding the villlas were looked after by a older couple in another villa.
Now, I live in a house laid on top of 800sqm of land.The house itself it not that much bigger than the size of the villa we had. But, the backyard is massive. We have a massive eucalyptus tree at the front and another tree at the back. The tree out front sheds its skin (bark), leaves and these things which I think are gum nuts like in snuggle pot and cuddle pie at different times of the year.
So yesterday I raked…. raked and raked some more. Gathered wood and cut up some wood for the fire place.
There is a fruit plant right at the back of the place (which mum planted) and the fruits are growing, they taste quite nice. I think they are guavas?. Which makes me think, if fruits can grow from this tree which I don’t prune, water or do anything to. Imagine what I could do with a little effort?
I need to clear all the leaves and grass around the tree at the back because the daffodils are shining through!. Those 2 green things in the middle of the picture are the start of daffodils which grows only once a year.
The kid’s find really good ways of entertaining themselves while I am busy!.
