A day in the Garden
Another beautiful Autumn day too nice too be indoors, so decided was time to cut my Crepe Myrtle back as the leaves are starting to fall, and do a little repotting before winter sets in

Hi Jan ~~ You have a beautiful garden
and I enjoyed seeing your photos.
Glad to see you had a great Easter with the families visiting.
Thanks for the welcome back -I had a lovely time, but it's nice to be back with my friends. Take care, Jan,Love, Merle.
Your garden is very beautiful Jeanette! Love this indoor garden,
how you named it? In Portuguese we say caramanchão.
That was a beautiful trip. I wish I could have smelled them. I love flowers and plants of all kinds. connie from Texas
daphne's bloom in the spring here -- and smell like heaven is leaking.
Ours died a few years ago.
So did our small crepe myrtles. Just toooo cold in the winter here for them. They were dwarf myrtles --
I love your garden. I'll bring the Chai Latte's and we can sit and giggle together.
Hi,
You have a lovely garden, I think our crepe myrtel is the same color and it should be blooming soon.

Keep up the good work

Hello jeanette,
nothing like getting the hands dirty in the soil of the garden is there.........I love the hanging baskets you have.
The saddest thing for me is that when we had to sell my grandmothers home in Mannum on the murry river we left behind a Hoya, it was huge no it was HUGE!!! and no one could lft the pot I wonder if it is still growing....anyway it is always lovely to visit and I am just so happy to be back in blogger land and here on your blog right now.
Enjoy your lovely Thursday is is going to be another nice sunshine filled day.

Wow! What a tidy up!
I am having a queezy moment...I strted to spring clean and the disinfectant odour has made me feel sick! Trouble with housework eh! Bad for you! LOL!

AHHHH Jan,
I LOOOVE your garden! We have a lot of plants but nothing is ever as tidy as yours! We have too much space, I think! Your garden looks cozy!

Your garden is really amazing...things are so lush. I loved listening to that cheery "G'day" song on your blog; really made me smile!!
Lucky you. Still having such, around. I don't know when we will ever get to the blooming weather around these parts. -pout-

I've had a great visit to you garden. There you are tidying up for the end of the season and here I am waiting for the season to begin. Thanks for visiting my blog. I loved the music on yours.
You have some wonderful plants in your garden. Really enjoyed having a look at some of them.
I just hafta say, I never, NEVER tire of viewing your garden and how you work with it. Always beautiful.
Hi Jen -- Your garden is always so pretty.
We don't cut crepe myrtles around here until Valentines Day, that is near the last freeze and there won't be tender buds to freeze.
Saturday's post, did you know that all reptiles pretty much look ...?

Hi Jen, Looks like you like your Fuchsia's too,I have a few Aussie varieties such as Domacin and others. Our gardens are really starting to get going now (very unseasonaly warm this year),yours is just winding down. Thats a good thing with blogging you can always find someones garden that is good to look at all through the year.Pot on, Bob.
You must have really green thumbs, you lucky girl! If I dared to do things like that, I would end up with little brown curly things. LOL.
Although, I do have a flourishing Daphne, & will post pics when it flowers later in the year.
Gardening is very therapeutic ... you have done a wonderful job with yours. It looks fabulous.
Take care, Meow
Hi Jan ~~I am so sorry you are not feeling so well and hope it passes quickly, specially when you have visitors. Glad you liked the Breakfast at McDonalds story, I did too. Take care Jan and get some rest
Love, Merle.
lovely pics, your garden sure looks great, wish I could transplant it over here!
Nice pictures. thanks for sharing them.
Been a while since I could visit. Your garden does look lovely; makes me envious. Do you know any amusing marriage poems I could use in CHURCH? I have to talk about marriage this Sunday and could use some good humour. Take care.
You will be ready for a cuppa after all that tidying up. Do your Fuchsia's keep on growing all year round? I usually repot mine in spring when they start back in to gorwth. Bob.
Hi Mate.
