June continues rolling on and the rainy season has yet to appear, which is an immediate blessing yet also a warning, but for the time being the kangaroo paw are leading the way in bringing me unimaginable delight.
The rainy season can be pretty bleak with day after day after precipitation.
I also find the low pressure systems that dominate the weather have a tendency to drag me down.
But with a few years in the garden, I’ve also learned how much plants appreciate the rain.
They like the unadulterated dose of water with all its nitrates that gives them a decent feed of what they’re love.
Last year, we basically didn’t get a rainy season and the fierce heat ravaged the garden, particularly the lawn that I had been so proud of.
Our kangaroo paw are a mixed bag.
Those that are thriving are doing absolutely magnificently, and I am delighted by their immense beauty.
Most of our blooms are orange, but we have a reddish hue and a white flower, too.
Our neighbor has multicolored flowers from a gift we presented him with last year and is absolutely thrilled by it.
Also a source of great happiness for me is my daily eye-opener ride, and this morning was a ripper!
