Autumn in my garden
Happens every year on the first day of winter time… I wake up way too early! But it’s a very beautiful day to wake up to: sunshine, hardly any wind left. And so I didn’t keep grumbling about lost beauty sleep but took a little morning stroll in the garden instead.
The new boy in town; this time it is a male, and he’s asserting himself as a little tyrant among the two girls. I’ve started calling him Bully…(see note below this post!!)
Never mind that stupid photo - gimme foooood!
Bully playing hide-and-seek...
...and checking out his new terrain
Then I found yet another “new boy” – or perhaps girl. In the absence of morning dew (that figures, doesn’t it? – me out and about early in the garden, and no dew. Tsk tsk tsk…) I resorted to the gentle squeeze on my water spray bottle. Yes, I admit, I’m ashamed. And it almost backfired, too: poor spider thought it was raining and escaped to the nearby lair it had built in a leaf… and it was moving damn fast!
Gotta get outta here!

And there’s still colour to be found in our garden!
Yellow
Rose in neighbour's garden
and another one
And I almost forgot our olives!!
Olives, not apples!
Have a happy Sunday!

Note: I was absolutely certain that Bully was a male because of ‘his’ swaggering kind of walk… I seem to be a hopeless case in this respect, because he turned out to be a female, too. *blush*
amazing!!! Love those olives – ohhh yum!!! I remember eating them as a small child in the warm sunshine in Gozo – along with Twisties & Kinnie!! Lovely
Or limes. . . . . .
Thanks Sarah… can you actually eat them like that, raw from the tree?? Or do you mean shop-bought olives?
I’ve been wondering what to do with them. This year we’ve only had a few (the first ones of a proper size), but next year I’m sure there’ll be more. Would be a shame to let them go to waste but I have no knowledge of olives and how to make them edible…
LOL Lisa!!
