Rock Daisy

We planted a rock daisy plant in our garden over the weekend.



One single purple flower about the size of a thumbnail has already appeared.



One tiny bud about 2mm in diamater is waiting to bloom.

Nerima Gardens

One of our favourite places to visit during the school holidays is Queens Park, in particular the Japanese themed Nerima Gardens.






The gardens are a place of peace and tranquility.









My Son brought his camera along too.






There is plenty of wildlife to see.



We found the cutest pair of baby Noisy Miner birds sitting on a branch.   They looked so angelic ..... till their Mum came back with some food.



There are so many different paths to explore.



It's hard to believe that the gardens are only a five minute walk away from the CBD.

Yellow Rose

The spring weather is absolutely glorious at the moment here in Queensland.  With slightly cool mornings warming up to bright, sunny days, it's the perfect opportunity to get outside and work in the garden.  This is the first yellow rose of the season.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's school holidays at the moment.   One of our favourite activities to do together at home is baking.

These chocolate chip coookies are delicious.  I'm amazed I was able to even get this photo before they all disappeared.

The recipe can be found here.

Coriander Flower

I love growing my own herbs.    Coriander is one of my favourites and makes a great addition to a Thai curry.

Guinea Pig

This gorgeous girl has come to stay with us for just a few days.   She is sure to get plenty of cuddles.
