Subject: RE: BS: Summer 2004--Yard & Garden
It's cold and wet here. Our winter wetland is full of singing frogs. Mountain ducks - (like your mallards) are floating over the paddocks around us. Wattles are starting to flower and Coreas - lovely little bushes covered with green and red bells are a mass of blooms. Honey-eaters all have yellow-dusted faces from the pollen.
The exciting news from us is that we think we may be able to visit New Mexico next Spring. I'm studying up on the desert and grassland wildflowers of America. It's all so overwhelming. Didn't think we'd see America again. More about that closer to the event.
For now we're tree planting as fast as we can before the weeds take over. Happy Summertime everyone. Joy
