Rain and more rain and then the wind

Today the weather has been just crazy. 45km/h winds were predicted and it happened. We had the odd burst of sunshine that allowed me to plant out some viola's. Then almost vertical rain would come in waves across the bay.
The constant rain is just wonderful for our recently planted garden.
I love our bromeliads, they look great around the tree and then - they flowered this week.
Lovely around the tree

Love the colours
Our storage shed has a great door ornament. Son Mark found these and put them up.
It just suits the island
Wood ready for the fireplace
We had the next door property mowed to keep the weeks down and make our garden look better. We decided to put our chairs and a table under the mango tree to enhance the scene.
An extra place to sit and enjoy the garden
Favourite garden ornaments
Aunty Billie gave Mum an allamanda many years ago. It was planted by the french doors of her apartment. It looks marvellous.
The colour is just beautiful
Jonelle repurposed a tiled table that used to be in the old kitchen as a potting table.
A great pop of colour
The new verandah cushion covers are finished but there has not been enough sunny time to photograph them. The couch and chairs have been repainted and are sitting unadorned waiting for a fine day.
