After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Good morning to the early birds Sunday is for a late rise here today 
the cooler morning sure is relief from the humid days we have had.
Pamper day, so I had better get myself moving and get a few chores done here before I set sail out to the Princess.
Another busy day here....3 grand children playing while I have breakfast. Hoping the rain eases up when we leave to go play and walk puppies at the rescue today or it will be boots and coats and towels. Silly me forgot there was washing on the line last night so that's getting an extra rinse.
Opened the rabbit hutch but Mr Bunny was not keen on getting wet .... he has so much character. When I rescued him earlier this year he had been kept I a cat carrier, no straw or hay, so dirty and thin but now he has a new coat, all fluffy and healthy and friendly.
Good morning everyone.
I was awake at 3.00am - went back to bed about 7 - second attempt now. Ready and rearing to go outside, and it's raining! Beautiful fresh rainwater for the plants.
I've put a couple of indoor plants outside both for the moisture and to wash the dust off the leaves. 
About the only dusting that'll get done today.
I planted about 1/2 my seedlings yesterday evening around the new fish pond as space fillers until I figure out the screening arrangement for the pond.
So the visual on this sloped site is:
4 palms that look like telegraph poles with a huge old fashioned purple bouganvillea winding its way between the trunks. Then the mauve agapanthus with their newly budding arrowheads. On the lower level the bench with the native violets under it. I dotted purple salvia, mauve verbena, and pink/purple/white alyssum surrounding the kidney shaped pond. I might get around to planting 2-3 yellow large marigolds for some "oomph" colour impact.
In another section of the border garden, I plan on making a "Christmas themed" bedding area between the dark green leaved vibernum tinus with the Red Salvias and white alyssum.
The tomato plants are in and should be enjoying this rain.

morning everyone 
well, I spoke too soon about the rain, we had heaps all night and the garden got a really good soaking. No point in rescuing the washing now
LOL Snap Debra, I was thinking about a potato vine last night lol When I lived the high country of Vic, I saw a few growing there. Yes, they did look pretty and there is plenty of frost up that way.
DEB I understand what you mean by not growing vines on fences, but it needs something to hide the coldness of the fence. The mental pic of your garden is lovely, those colours will combine beautifully ๐ If you are going to plant Marigolds, perhaps pop a cpl beside your tomatoes as well.
This is my poor old Passionfruit vine, I think it has seen better days. I am not sure if I mentioned that the previous owner ( apparently ) used to hack everything to the ground, the fruit trees, the Banksia roses, the passionfruit vine and anything else he could get his clippers on ๐ The neighbours were ecstatic to see the Banksia roses blooming this year, they hadn't seen them like that in all the time he lived here.
