WEATHER AND FLOWERS

 Well, luckily, the storm wasn't as bad as predicted and no loss of life this time.  We ended up with a lake for a lawn but it drains away quickly.  

A lot needs doing in the garden.  I bought some broccoli, spinach and silver beet plants a few weeks  ago and they still haven't been planted out.  Hopefully in the next couple of days.  The weather and appointments keep getting in the way.

Just before the cyclone I picked some flowers as I thought they would get damaged by the weather.

Some Chrysanthemums still in bud.

Some small white hydrangeas at the end of the season with some white chrysanthemums in bud.

  1. Seeing some of the photos and videos of what has been happening, it is fortunate that there has been no lives lost. Heartbreaking to see yet more flooding and damage though

  4. We didn't get the predicted wind or rain, but had a heavy rain for a little time this morning. So thankful it wasn't as bad as previous events.

  5. How wonderful that you brought your flowers inside.
    I hope the weather disaster has completely passed and that life is returning to normal.
    All my love to you.
