More this and that as the school holidays were coming to an end. A day of putting things back as they were after our first visitors and then Summer pushed it's way into Spring on Thursday to deliver a "stinking HOT day", finishing off with a storm.
Friday was town day to stock up the pantry and to check out Mum's mystery flowering plant. A few years ago, her Grandson-in-law gave her a piece of old root he dug up in the hope it might shoot ... it's taken a while to get to this stage but has finally flowered! I believe it's known as 'Queens Wreath' or more commonly 'Sandpaper Vine'.
Friday Night with Friends ... time to wind down with some more Sashiko and another block finished.
Saturday our daughter and boys arrived for the long weekend ... we mustered ... we baked ... and they accompanied me on my walks.
Last month I registered for "Oceans to Outback" to fundraise for Royal Flying Doctor Service ... my target is to walk 45km for the month of October. So far so good with a walk each day, keeping them to early morning or late evening ... Harley's enjoying leading the way.
What a pretty 'mystery' flower. Not one I have heard of. Your #1 looks like a great project to be working on and your temperature tree is looking so lovely. Good luck with your walking challenge. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely mystery flower.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend with your family.
Nice to have them join in for your RFD walk and looks like Harley is enjoying coming along.
Good luck with #1 Chookshed Challenge.
The tree is going fast now.

Comparing your temperature tree to others on blogs, I'd rather live where you are. It looks a bit cooler than here.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a busy week for you. Your temperature tree has a nice variation of colours. Have fun with your fishy quilt and your walking challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty mystery in the garden. Well done on your walking.
