It's now more than a month since I began this blog entry. Mid spring has well and truly been and gone and my roses have mostly finished their first flush of flowers so it is nice to have the photos in this blog that were snapped on the run.
Driving around lately, the vivid purple-blue hues of the jacaranda flowers caught my eye, reminding me of the old adage that when the jacarandas were in bloom it was far too late to begin studying (for end of year exams), a constant reminder that I should not be wasting time and should be back at home finish my last essays!
I submitted my last essay yesterday so now it is time to reclaim the garden from the opportunistic weeds that have taken up residence and the bronze orange stinky bugs gathering in their numbers in the citrus trees while my back was turned. I'm feeling a bit essayed-out and so I'll let the pictures tell their own story.
