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.

The colour of that Iceland poppy is gorgeous! And lucky you to have your little grandson around to help and learn and know you well. The puzzle looks like fun to do - I like to have one on the go around the holidays. But you're right - you need it on a moveable board! I look forward to seeing the finished cushion soon. I wish I could share with you some projects I've recently finished but I must be the dunce in the technology class - I can no longer load pictures to my blog - boohoo!
Your garden is looking lovely. That snapdragon variety is very unusual. Sadly, we are too cold for kangaroo paw here. That’s very handy having a helper on hand. My Dad loved doing all sorts of interesting puzzles. I could never figure them out. Mum was the jigsaw expert in our family. I have some nice ones here to do, but never seem to get around to them. Yours is a lovely one.
