It is nice to keep a running record of Christmas each year. Similar to the previous year, we celebrated in a back yard, especially with the weather a perfect 20 degrees C. This time it was at our place and the grapefruit and apple trees served as shade cover. The garden arch made the perfect doorway to enter into the celebration space. It wasn't all outside though with desert and presents experienced within.
We got together recently to have a sumptuous meal and play another game of 'PLUNK'. Barb enjoyed Ashton while the rest of played. Simon and Peter escaped the dungeon but the dragon demolished Dan and Arnny. Better luck next time to those two. "Play the odds!" was Simon's advice but Peter showed that even a 5% survival is a 5% escape chance if the right cards turned up.
Spring as made a nice start this year. Reasonable rains have fallen and given our fruit trees some thing to work with. Besides that the blackberry bush is producing well and the pumpkin seeds planted a few weeks ago from a just cut pumpkin have started to come up. This bodes well for a bumper season.
What a huge variety of flowers we have in our garden. Peter just can't help but pull out the camera and snap a few, some repeats and others just found. Some are self-sown and others part of a plan. The amazing variety of design points to a divine creation by a supreme intelligence and just for the enjoyment of it and sharing this enjoyment. So much colour.
