As I was cutting back my hydrangeas tonight I was thinking how wilted and lacking water they were in the Summer. Now still without rain they are coping with the cooler weather. Our extremes in temperature are hard to believe sometimes over 44 degrees C in the Summer and down too minus 5 degrees C in the Winter nights. Well we made it through another scary bushfire season, the fire season is officially over, although it is still very dry.The year before last we had a huge control burn off in our front paddocks, the CFA did a marvelous job containing it I think we melted a few country letter boxes but no other damage. We felt safer this year having our Northern front paddocks clearer.

  2. When I arrived on this page, I thought 'oh no!, not again!', remembering the time someone lit fires on purpose.

    Thanks for becoming a follower of Esther's Boring Garden Blog.

    We had our first really hot day today - so it's funny coming over here and finding you battening down for winter.

  3. We have had a new fire bug in this area over Summer, hopefully they will move before next Summer. Being a small community everyone is instantly suspicious of anyone new in the area and very on edge all Summer.
