Pretty Weeds

I've never seen Gazanias grow like they do here in Ararat.
Great swathes of them on footpaths.
I suspect it's not intentional but rather they have established themselves as weeds.
Usually they are the orange and yellow ones, but check out the colour of this one.
'Tis gorgeous - orangey pink - I've never seen another like it.
This one came in the form of a pilfered stalk from outside an old church in Beaufort
(a lovely day out a couple of years ago with Mum, Leigh and Vince).



This one is quite lovely too - it lives under the Oleander at the back tap.

Rose of the Day - Edgar Degas

This one lives at No.28 in Ararat.
It's such a happy cheery rose.
And the petals really do look like the tutus in Degas' paintings.
See?

Good-bye My Little Garden

The Loooooonnnnnggggest Good-Bye.
6 months to extricate ourselves from our little house in the country.
I shall miss it dreadfully - I LOVED living here.
But....new adventures await.
Heading north.
