A fine blanketing layer of cloud filled the sky this morning and most of the day until almost sunset when little patches of blue sky could be seen. Soft grey enveloped most of the day, making for rather non-descript, mild, not too much of anything weather (nothing nearly as exciting as the prospect of snow!) Temperature reached about 19 degrees with a very slight breeze. Possible showers expected tomorrow will yet again alleviate the need for watering in the vegetable garden.
The mulberry tree is still holding on to a few leaves. Silvereyes (below) and Double-barred finches have been in the garden for the past couple of months. This one seem interested in the Pigeon Pea flower growing amongst the Mulberry Tree branches.
Orange season is almost here, not quite ripe yet. I made a quick run down to the orchard this morning in an attempt to scare off a flock of large white cockatoos that had perched around the orchard and looked suspiciously like they were checking out the ripeness of said fruit. It seemed to work, otherwise they may have also decided next week would bring a sweeter harvest.
Ginger and tumeric in the vegie garden are both dying down now for their winter dormancy.
