Clare is doing her job - being a guardian! I have to circle the date in the calendar.



A car approached the gate and Clare was running along the fence and barking like a very dangerous watchdog. Later I received a phone call. The person wanted to ask me some questions but didn't dare to enter the property because of the Rottweiler. Good girl. I thought this situation would never happen.

I'm very proud of my first botanical success:



The 'Kangaroo-Paw' is blooming. It's not really a South Australian plant but at least it's native to Australia. The velvet flowers remind me of the 'Edelweiss" from the Alps.

Always entertaining.
