July18, 2009, Multiply, After the rain the fences need painting

After the rain, more fences to paint.

Yesterday I could not finish painting my fences because it started to rain, and rain, and rain, and rain…………………….
There had been a slight problem with the bath-pond, I had not sealed the overflow outlet properly and consequently, I needed to empty some water out and do some resealing. The good thing is…………..the rain helped fill it back up again.
I noticed my neighbours lawn yesterday…………..it is beautiful, absolutely covered in bright yellow dandelions, I just had to get a photo before she cuts her grass and gets rid of them. I know this is not what a lawn should look like but I think it is lovely, very pretty.
The rain stopped a few hours ago and I guess it could be dry enough for me to start painting fences again. All that rain has filled the bath-pond to the top AND the water is fantastically clear.
If I look at the fences I managed to paint yesterday I realise what a difference it makes, they are looking good.
But turn around and look at what needs doing and you can see why I must leave here and get back out into the garden…….NOW!!!

The first signs of the approaching spring are making their presence felt here in Tas, and I realise I have just too much gardening work ahead. But first things first, one major project to finish before any more projects. The blue fence has a very contempo look, very fresh.

delete reply mildepiphany wrote on Jul 18, '09 That's looks great - love the blue. Could not get away with that here - likely to violate some sort of rule - home owners association just not open to blue. Thinking about putting in some very interesting bamboo accents however.
