Regular family outings are becoming the norm around here. This week we went to Deep River, the town I was raised in. This is the beach I used to take swimming lessons at.
This is the bush I used to hide in while swimming lessons were going on.
It was really weird driving and walking around the town with my Mum and sister for the first time after all these years. Actually felt a little emptiness for my Dad. We ate lunch in the dairy we used to go to for a treat when we were kids.
This is the house I grew up in.
Miscellaneous pics around the garden...
Trying to be artistic using the sun
Forced to share my hammock with someone.
More assorted pics...
My new fruit orchard. Looks pretty pathetic at the moment - ain't bearing no fruit I complained to the gals - should be grown up in a few years I was told. Got pears, plums, apples, blueberries, gooseberries and some other stuff I can't remember.
My boy.
Sun setting over the farm next door.

Morning coffee and the paper
The beans make a pseudo wall of privacy for the sitting area.
This is supposed to be a zucchini I don't be thinking so, unless it's a hybrid zucchkin
Canna lily I think.
The grass is getting really long, the damn belt broke on my mower and it's been over a week now
It was a really nice day for a change
My new hammock. If I get in it, it cocoons me completely so I can't even see out. Not happy with that thing at all.
See all the little fishies in the pond
The water feature is starting to really mature now
The gardens are so colorful, more heavy on the yellows at this time
My pool has been more than welcome in the heat this year but....
These flowers smell amazing
These things just won't go away I'm tempted to behead them all
Chimes blowing in the breeze.
The moon in the dusk sky
Relaxing, watching the sun set.

The vegetables are doing remarkably well in some pretty crappy ground.
Woot, my first ever home grown cucumber.
Relaxing around the pond area.
Otta brought me this purple flower.
What's looking to be a huge sunflower in a very strange place, will have to ask Karen about this one.
More flowers...
A kiss.
Tyler's beanstalk?
Odd looking thing.
I like the color of these.
These are huge lilies, the new buds are like bananas.
More flowering things...
I like this little white number alot.
Neighbors
There's hundreds of these things around but they're cute nonetheless.
Roses after a sunshower.
