From the Park Bench

It’s another windy day. Another windy night last night. But it’s sunny and quiet nice this morning. I was torn between taking a photo of my lemon tree completely laden with yellow lemons. They look beautiful in the sunshine against the blue sky. But what I decided to take a picture of was one of […]

It’s been a while since I’ve sat on a bench at night. It’s definitely not my favorite time to do it, but there’s something special about all the different times of day. It’s very windy out here tonight. I can hear lots of frogs, and I’m watching my neighbour’s tree. It’s a big beautiful tree. […]

I’m still sick, so I haven’t ventured far today. Sometimes, you don’t need to go far at all though. I can hear the frogs in the field behind my fence

It was another sunny-ish day. But today, the air was colder than yesterday. I put laundry on the line again. But today it’s windy and drier. So I think my laundry actually dried. My clothesline is creaking in the wind.

It’s nice out here on the Back Deck today. It was a sunny-ish day. I put some laundry on the line, but it didn’t really dry because the air is too cold and humid. There’s no windy out here. It’s a little bit warmer under the veranda, but it’s definitely cooling off already for the […]

Today, there was another Edward sighting. Interestingly, a lady I hadn’t seen before came down here with a bag of corn. She scattered it on the riverbank. She was calling, “Quackers! Quackers!” So maybe Edward is her lost pet duck or something. I wonder if his name is Quackers, or she was calling to all […]

Edward the duck is steaming past me in the river. The river’s flowing quickly and he’s going downstream, blazing along. Today I’m sick. My son has been sick this week and I think I got it from him. But as I sat here on the bench, he brought me a little bunch of flowers which […]

Down at the Lily Pond. I had been wondering if there was as many frogs here as there was last year. I think there is. At least there is in this little puddle beside the path. They’re so loud. There’s bright orange toadstools here too.

I think there’s some wattlebirds having an argument in a tree today. The river is the highest its been yet this year. I wonder if it’s going to flood like last year. I kinda hope so. It was pretty exciting. Today, I saw a bright orange toadstool on the way to the Bench. And Edward […]

It’s rained pretty much all day today. I’m standing beside the Bench, because the Bench is completely soaked. There’s puddles everywhere, the river is up, the storm water drain beside the Bench is gushing. But it’s just so beautiful. It’s the sunset light, and that the bark is wet on all the trees so they’re […]
