As you can see, the work continues!
The clothesline has been mostly cut down, the last few bits we will do tomorrow, son has decided he might be able to use the metal for a "project"... bless his cotton socks lol.
Pretty aren't they? My zygocactus in hanging baskets were left behind from the previous owners and are all in flower.
I will have to get to and repot them all in larger pots as they are rapidly outgrowing the ones they are in.
Gorgeous sunset looking out over the hills. The daylight is vanishing fast this time of the year, the evenings are gorgeous, not cold yet, calm, the magpies are all singing....love it!
The curtaining company is coming tomorrow, that will complete the work to be done inside, mix of new roller blinds and venetians, the final touch to our humble home:)
This weekend we will spend moving the last of all the carport roof, pavers and slabs from the back yard ready for the earthmovers to come in and level out the backyard. I can't wait for this to be done, it means we can seriously get stuck into planting out all the trees and setting up all the worm wicking beds for the vegetables:)
Hope your week is going well
Take care of you and yours:)

We recently had our old clothesline removed. Fortunately I should be able to recycle most of the upper part to provide support for some kind of climbing plant.
Each of the four main arms have conveniently placed loops and I'm hoping to use them as posts through which the clothesline wire can be rethreaded.
At the moment I'm thinking of growing next years butternut pumpkins as climbers using the recycled clothesline.
Hopefully that will give us a decent sized crop without taking up too much ground area.
Zygocactus are such accommodating plants, they don't seem to require much care and then they reward you with a glorious show of flowers.
By the way you left a comment on my blog about birds, I'm not familiar with the term "28's" what are they??

Hi One. Wonderful reuse of your clothesline!
Hi Pip, you can see the 28s I was talking about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Ringneck
