Winter Wednesday

This is linked in with HAZEL's Winter Wednesday http://hazel-dene.blogspot.com/2011/06/winter-wednesday-5.html

  What I love about Winter

The days are still creating wonderful reflections on the river, this is the view from my lounge room window at home.

Hardenbergia in flower climbing over my balcony.

My bed, I have a lovely woollen doona that only get used in winter and its so snug and warm and feels wonderful.

Snuggling down to read a book you've been hanging to read.

How the Weekend Panned Out

The two column apples were planted

as was Camelia Sasanqua Yuletide

The carport got its laser light roofing on
We were treated to another beautiful sunset

Sunday morning my DH was putting a big metal circle into the side of the carport as he decided it needed bracing. It's going to look amazing when finished.

My lovely smooth roses were potted up until I get the garden ready for them to be put into the ground. There are 14 of them.  I also transplanted a lilac and a magnolia stellata from my garden at home but I forgot to photograph them.  Hopefully they will be ok.
Now I am taking some time out to look at the view. I will never get tired of looking at the bay. In all weather, it offers something new. Waves crashing over the dunes sometimes, other days the bay is like a mirror. From my lounge window I can see a little black dog that must live in a house behind the dunes. At least once a day he comes running between the dunes onto the beach, has a quick swim before going off home. He or she is always alone. It always makes me smile.
