April

Nearly caught up! Tomorrow l am in May! Phew! Epic! But interesting going back over a whole year! Caught up now in insane Autumness! Possibly my favourite month. Time before it gets too cold to plant out a few plants l have had sitting around over Summer....
Hmmmmmmmmm...........Really? Did l have THAT many??
Time to bask under trees that l planted myself......That's a good feeling!
Everything is so gloriously red and gold
My pond garden is just divine even though most of the Dahlias fell over in the wind. Next year l will stake them!
The view from the bedroom window ...
And the front of the house looking TOWARDS the bedroom window!
 
The colours on the grapevine are gorgeous. 
And l think l found the biggest leaf in the world!!!
Heaps of flowers still around as we have as yet had no frosts. They WILL come of course but until they do everything is still to be enjoyed!
Even this crazy fluffy Artichoke seed head!
l think this is going to be the most photographed bridge in the world..........!!!! .......MY world anyway!
l didn't build much in April. Only this little courtyard /patio out the front of the house. It's not finished yet as l haven't filled the gaps between the bricks so no photo till it looks better....just a peek!
So much beautiful colour around.....
And some special time spent with Larry under the Macrocarpa Trees. He was sitting down when l went up to see him and didn't move so l sat down next to him. This lovely big goofy sheep can't get enough cuddles. He loves them.
Fast asleep!
Nor can his full brother Tyrone.................Such sweeties....
Under the watchful eye of their Mum Fingal. THE world's greediest sheep.....
Lilli found a comfy spot in a patch of sunlight.........
While Pushka found the exact opposite. THE most uncomfy bed on the planet? A box full of Walnuts????
Oh, l did build this................
It's a sort of lattice extension to the duck shed....It has Clematis and a few other creepy things planted at the base so hopefully it will cover up soon (except for the window.)
And l was given this.......A fireplace for my paling fence. Perfect!
Just what every paling fence needs!
 l just love it!
l love Autumn!
