They are so hardy and survive under the soil through the year. My walking track is the best ever - by a creek with birds and ducks and sometimes blossoms. It is very safe with dozens of people taking their exercise. I notice our area has almost no obese citizens - and everyone seems to walk!<br />Can't wait to go to Canada again and see our daughter and those cute boys.

The golden leaves of your Fall are absolutely beautiful - I have only seen it a few times as our trees are generally evergreen. <br />Yes, not TOO white would be my preference too.

We have official start of Summer here on December 1st, however with forecast heat wave this weekend, up to 35c, I think Summer is here already. I love to see apple trees in the fall, as we have seen them in Canada.

Your flowers are so beautiful...and ALMOST make me want Spring - however we are in Fall, my favorite. ;) <br /><br />I bet you can't wait to fly away to the north and family. I hope it's a white Christmas too, but not TOO white. We're so close to Canada we can get the "feet" of snow too. <br /><br />I'm so glad you're in the choir! I love the color of the shirt you made.

Technically, we have one more day of summer, but I spotted the 1st bags of local apples at our suppermarket a couple of days ago.<br /><br />I often wish I had a job that allowed me to work for half the year in the Western hemisphere and the other half in the Southern hemisphere. With such a scienario, guess where I'd be heading right now? Well I'll just have to come back here to see the pretty flowers!<br /><br />I'd bet Canada will not disappoint you regarding a white Christmas.Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-14396722868663487372017-09-20T04:14:57.732-07:002017-09-20T04:14:57.732-07:00I have come late to growing orchids, but they are ...I have come late to growing orchids, but they are really very forgiving I find.

My orange silk shirt will get a turn, as long as they will accept a collar stand not a full shirt collar. Still learning my way through their little conventions.

These are cute pictures of your grandsons by the apple tree. Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have a White Christmas this year? I do hope your wish comes true. That's wonderful that you are in a new choir this year and reconnecting with old friends. How nice to see those wild ducks on your daily walk. And that Galah bird is a beauty. Did you take that picture? It sounds like you've been very busy lately.
