Lake Monger...on my way to golf this morning...so still...

 

Rusty and Tash dropped in this afternoon...Rusty liked our lounge and the warm sun on his back.

 

I think Todd was surprised and thrilled to receive this fabulous "Born in the USA" cake, that Tash had her friend make for him.  It was lovely to catch up with Todd's family and friends and share a few drinks at Little Creatures to celebrate his birthday.

 

Pete and I visited the Linton and Kay Gallery in the city this afternoon to look at the entrants in the Black Swan Portraiture Prize. There were some outstanding paintings. On our way back to the car we admired the street art above....

 

Another lovely spring day....enjoyed a little potter in the garden.

 

Almost everytime I drive into our street at this time of year , I am thankful for our lovely street trees.  They are deciduous, so after several weeks of our street looking very bare, almost over night the trees are full of bright green new leaves and the street has a whole new look...and on a day like today they were even more stunning.

...a visit to Araluen Botanic Park

 

Nat, Cathy and I tried a new coffee shop today. We were quite taken with the unique bench top and also the smell of banana bread cooking in a nearby oven. We liked their coffee as well....don't think I noticed the name of the place though....will have to go back.
