Good Morning Friends :hugs

Sipping on my Iced Coffee as I type.

Michelle I am pleased Mr Pig is showing signs of improvement.

Love the cake Jae :clap Good save on the button! I hope (s)he does well.

While the deck still needs work, I did manage to make it look a lot better with lots more room [moved a heap of stuff under the house].

Just sharing some pics .....

On Friday, picked up 'Hooty' for $10 from our local online Marketplace. He is now living in the under the house garden. I am going to try and find him a stump to sit on:

On the way in to town yesterday, we stopped off at a market place and picked up a $5 hanging basket plant [did not come with basket but in a small pot only half full with sand, so it needs some TLC]. The picture does not do it justice as it is hanging under the house and hard to catch in the right light but it is a beautiful purple and green; no idea what it is though:

When we popped in to the hardware to buy the basket for it, picked up this solar powered frog which was on special $12 down from $32. You can not see it very well, but he has his head in the jar and is try to catch a dragonfly within. The jar lights up at night and it is sitting near the top pond:

We have a couple of Yellow Breasted Sunbirds building a nest on a piece of string hanging under the house. Sunbirds are tiny and quick but they are building their nest in a great spot for me to catch some pictures of them [stay tuned] Oh, and excuse the mess in the background which is just a taste of what I am having to deal with:

Potted a cutting my neighbour gave me. Unfortunately it did not come with a great deal of roots so not sure how it will go. It has joined other plants at the fish ponds:

My neighbour also came good on the ground cover she promised me, so planted that. Love the colour!

Because my tree fern was in a corner under the house and getting too big [branches being bent by shade cloth and some being burnt by the sun where they had grown passed the shade], I moved it more central. Besides water saving and weed control, another reason I like to keep things in pots, they can be moved:

Remember Audrey whose arrival I was very excited about in October? Then:

Plans for today .. typical Sunday, finish housework, load of washing, trip in to town for groceries and then home to give everything a good dose of water prior to our week of blah temperatures; starting today with a predicted max of 93F.

It is great seeing summer in February!
 
Teila it looks amazing. I sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the next pic.
Cap, I gave you a shout out on a disabled Gardner during one of my greets.
DD I gave up soda years ago. For me it's ice tea, coffee, or Canadian whiskey, of course I can also do the occasional bourbon. But I don't pollute my coffee, tea or whiskey.
 
@Teila - I think this may be your new hanging plant:
