It must be Spring now as a whole month has gone by.( it's September half way gone ).
Iceland Poppy faces are fleeting as Spring winds and rain do their thing.
At least 8 more buds to come. The Yellow Kangaroo Paw plants are doing well. They seem to love the rain. I mistakenly thought because they were Australian they would prefer dry.

Smaller Grandson is a good worker. Here he is unloading the clean new sand for the new sandpit.
He and I have been doing lots of puzzles too. Jigsaws and wooden puzzles. This one called the Soma Cube. My boys had it nearly 50 years ago and it's still a challenge. I decided to see how many of the shapes I could still do.
Here's one I did this morning. That's 5 I can still do.
I'll keep pushing myself with puzzles of many kinds.
Bigger grandson and son started a very tricky 1000 jigsaw 2 weeks ago and did about a quarter before they had to go. I was then left with 3/4 to finish to get it off the table. R has now cut us some MDF board to work on so the puzzle in progress can be lifted off the big table.
I thought it would be the sky and water that would be hardest but in fact it was the flowers.

Yesterday I planted these seeds into 3 trays. So tiny. About 30 in the packet . I do hope some grow as I really like the frilly part and the delicate colour.
As always lots of gardening happening. I have picked the first few asparagus.

Molly the cushion top is almost finished. I hope to show you it complete next time I blog.
