I ENTERED THE JUNGLE


Happily, I returned to rehearsals at my Ladies Choir today, after nearly 4 months absent.
It was great to be back amongst friends,
and on this crisp wintry morning to sing
John Rutter's version of All Things Bright and Beautiful.  Which they were!

I wore my new purple jeans.  Of course...



with black sweater, pink bag, and favourite new scarf.
As the lovely Mette, of Metscan, points out, we can wear the brights in Queensland,
(aka the Sunshine State).



With the cooler weather upon us, I figured all self-respecting snakes would be hibernating under a log in the bush, and ventured into this jungle, a part of the Red Cardinal Garden of Neglect rarely visited.



I found several bunches of red berries; very Christmassy


and lots of giant pink hibiscus. 
 Funny how such a tropical flower blooms in winter.

In other news, the Petite Garcon in Canada needs some summer PJs.
Even in the land of snow it apparently gets hot sometimes.
This Grannie has been to spotlight:



Hopefully a little pair of size 3 jamas will be winging their way across the Pacific in a few days.



Have a super weekend!

      Hi Val over there in sunny Portugal! It is a 3-day weekend here for the Queen's birthday, so we are planning a short getaway - a little adventure for the Cardinals. Sewing underway..

    Hi Valerie - glad you love our garden; it is large and a bit wild, with many different "rooms". We never quite get it all under control but have fun trying. Ice on the car is indeed COLD - we get it 2-3 times per year up in Qld.
