YSA First Dance

Well, Jennifer and I have been called as the Stake YSA Advisor for Wyndham stake. So the first Dance of the year was on Valentines day.

 It was beautiful night and great dance.  A good time held by all.

Summer in the garden

This year has been a difficult year in the garden.
Spring was cold and wet so the tomatoes and other vegetables were slow to get hold.
Summer is proving to be a dry and hot summer.

The tomatoes have finally starting turning red and the crop is not large.
But at leats the sunflowers are out

Major issue in the garden is the Possum and Birds. Only real issue is I''m not allowed to shoot them..

Oh well. I'm off to Bunnings to buy a pastic Owl...

Christmas Lights 2013

This year we decided to put plenty of lights up on the house.

We have plenty in the street doing it as well.I took these photo's with the full moon behind the house. looks like day time.

Tomatoes growing

We planted Tomatoes again this year, they were slow to get started but then in the last week took off.
They are loaded with fruit this year and the garden looks great, that is due to a very wet Spring.

Black Iries finally Flower

I planted some Black Iries 2 years ago.

They finally bloomed and produce about 30 flowers.

Stephans Back from his mission

Stephan's back from his mission early due to medical reason. He was honorably released on the 5th October 2013.  He was only out for 8 months but was not an easy one from accounts.  It will take time to come right but I'm sure he'll make it.

So on his birthday we had a celebration.
