 “I love a sunburnt country
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
of droughts and flooding rains.”
These words, from ‘I Love a Sunsurnt Country’ by Judith Wright, resonate with Australians and never more so than when after years of draught, there are now many towns up north submerged by flooding rains…
The rains in Canberra have been gentle soaking rain, the sort the garden loves and after weeks of high temperatures today is a lovely mid 20s centigrade (approx 80 degrees F) A perfect day to be in the garden….
I pruned the hedge down the side of the driveway…and had an unexpected phone call from a friend asking did I want a load of mulch…I would love a load of mulch.
A Lovely day to be in the garden nd the Crepe Myrtle that I thought had died is now blossoming.

Hurray for friends with free mulch! Love the crepe myrtle blossoms, they are so pretty when they are in full bloom.
