"As Slow As A Wet Week....."

That saying has really hit home over the past week; we have had rain for five days in a row - something unheard of here in the Canberra region over the past decade.

The thing is....everything is so green. Grass is growing so fast that it needs to be cut again as soon as the mowing is done!

Shrubs, bushes and trees have more new growth on them than we have seen in years and flowers have gone berserk.

On my way to work each day I pass this garden at the junction of three streets near Ainslie shops. I have never seen it so dense with the rambling roses. In fact, I never realised that it was a rose garden until recently!
