Grounds for hope

The hydrangea bushes (well, full-sized plant and little stem) brought back from Whanganui are both looking healthy and have new growth.

Not quite knowing how to care for my gifted plants, I’ve read and tried to follow advice both online and in print. For now, it seems that lavish amounts of attention and water have been enough.

Grateful for every drop of rain

The bush-fire orange cast in our skies yesterday had largely blown away by evening, and this morning we woke to find it had rained overnight. Since no more is forecast for this week, I am feeling incredibly grateful for the little bit of relief the rain brought both to the garden and our air quality.

Christmas plums
We probably won’t quite have home-grown plums on Christmas Day, but I don’t think we’ll be waiting too long.
And the tinsel — less a seasonal touch than an attempt to keep the birds from eating the fruit.
