from FIRES and Australia Day to FLOODS in FEBRUARY

Since my last post on Australia Day 

it seems as if the wet season is trying to arrive in certain parts of the country

certainly here in our part of Queensland

and sliding down the coast into northern New South Wales as I type this

we pray that those badly affected by the recent terrible droughts and bush-fires will have their fair share of this lovely abundant rain going past!!!

 I was very pleased to be able to sneak over to the beach 
         before the rains came flowing down this week

When all the tourists have gone home and the children back to school after the long summer holidays,

it is time for the locals to peep their noses out and see if it safe to go out again without getting caught up in the traffic !!

NICE.

 My lovely African Violet survived the hot summer despite being dropped on the floor and losing most of the special  soil it was growing in! Decided to flower for me again after a long while. Very lucky!

 Nearly time to say goodbye to a puppy I have been minding for a while

 and time to get creative again...and move on with other things this year! AS well as doing some of the usual things too...now that the heat seems to have taken a break for a while!!

these photos haven't turned as as clearly as they did on my phone.  I wonder why? 

I'm disappointed. Loved their colors when I picked them up, from green to bright red!

Oh well, practice makes perfect!

Hope your week has been good to you.

May God bless you and keep you this week.
