New used for Dad

yes, with the prospect of moving to Point Cook, we'll need another car. Jennifer doesn't feel that waiting at the train station can is fun? I wonder why?

So this weekend we purchased a used car,

It's 1998 Toyota Rav4 Wagon with extra's of course.

OK so it not a BMW so I have to wait for that magic day .

Helping hands service project

The Mormon helping hands service project was on again this morning.
So we had planned to help in the Ashwood permaculture gardens. The rain in the morning threatened to have it cancelled but it stopped just enough for us to work there for 3 hours.

It was nice doing gardening again.

And Stephan enjoyed himself as well.

Gemma can drive

I always wonder why my dad never liked me driving his car.

I NOW KNOW.

Gemma-ann passed her driving test now on friday and now wants the car to go to parties etc.

It's a good thing we're looking at getting another car and I hope it will be Manual. Then I'm the only one that drives it.

Irises are out

Spring has finally come to Melbourne
This year though the winter has been wet so the plants are growing and flowering flat out.
The gardeners are working as fast as they can to keep the weeds under-control as for the lawn mowers, well they are just not keeping up.

But it's that time of year when the irises are out to bloom. They are still my favourite. I have already started buying them for the new garden as well.

I took the following photo's when I was in the botanical gardens last week.

Roadside wildlife

I went for the small Roadtrip with Stephan (JR) last weekend.

The wild life is all over the place. The big dry may have reduced the wildlife but not to us.

Point Cook Coastal Park

 

Well we have a Coastal Park near to where we will be moving too.

There's lots of birds

The plants are coastal but diverse. But the park does have one big problem, RABBITS and lots of them.

Spring at Last.

Spring is here at last.

These blooms are on the trees outside our new home. 

Target is now mid November to be moving in.
