I have a burned-out lightbulb in my workshop (at the highest point of the ceiling) and you've just reminded me I need to get up on a ladder and replace it. Also a shattered floodlight over my front door, but that one requires the extension ladder and non-wobbly legs, so I have to pick my day carefully for that job!<br />So nice to see signs of Spring, Dani.

I love the autumn colours too - and I think that is also because I prefer winter weather to the (sometimes overpowering) heat of summer :)Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-13569551784229692252014-08-19T12:05:40.136+02:002014-08-19T12:05:40.136+02:00The circle must continue.

Here I've noticed the polar leaves starting to turn yellow, harbingers of autumn.<br />Best of luck with your tomatoes this season. Last year was a tomato disaster for us. We lost them all to blight. This year we've had a fine crop.

They make screw together painters extension poles that are made of thin wall aluminum and come in about 3 or 4 foot sections that screw together. Might be good to find a set and they can be broken down and easily stored. Just a thought. ;) As for giving up our HOT weather to you'll.

Why - well, we have not really had a winter. 2 - 3 weeks of cold weather, and very little rain. For a winter rainfall area that is not good!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-67119735370977215012014-08-16T22:41:31.916+02:002014-08-16T22:41:31.916+02:00I love that I now get to read about southern hemis...I love that I now get to read about southern hemispheres springs and summers now as we go into autumn and winter. It keeps me thinking about the year after. That said our growing season isn't over yet!

I think you have to have the right mind set to be a good gardener, and I don't seem to have inherited those genes. >:-(Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
