In the old days before water meters were introduced we watered our gardens and Brisbane looked lovely. These days people can't afford to pay and no-one bothers with Spring flowers any more. Such a shame! So now we wait and pray for rain.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-43813793989677148922013-09-11T15:04:42.683-07:002013-09-11T15:04:42.683-07:00Can't you just set out a sprinkler when the la...Can't you just set out a sprinkler when the lawn needs it?

It's end of summer here now and today the temperature is about 12 degrees - we have worn our fleece jackets for the first time as the wind is chilly! Darkness falls just before 8.00 pm now so our long twilight evenings are long gon. It is sad to think that our wonderful summer - one of the best I can remember for many years - has now gone and we have autumn and winter to look forward to now - we haven't yet succumbed to having the heating on though - October is time enough for that though we have been tempted and night-time temperatures are now sometimes in single figures!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.com
