Coping with the heat wave

 Im so over this heat but thankfully today is much cooler, after a week of high 30 degree days some days reaching over 40 Im glad for the change. I was up at 6 am this morning putting all 11 bunnies back in their outside hutches to enjoy the fresh air, as much as they were getting quite spoilt inside, I need to get organized again.

 With all this hot weather there has been some terrible terrible fires, especially at Halls Gap in the Grampians region. I had just posted not long ago about our day at the Grampians Zoo.
The smoke can been seen where we live which is just over an hour away from the Grampians.

 My gardens havnt suffered to much with this heat, some plants seem to have thrived in this hot weather, like this hollyhock in the middle of my vege garden, my gardens seem to me a jungle at the moment. its to hot for me to weed and tidy up out there.

 Spaghetti squash starting to take form, I cant wait to try these.

 I have a capsicum yay.

 I just love dahlias, have I told you that ..... I think I have mentioned it a few times, but I do, there is just something about them, I hope I get some more colors this year. I did plant some but I cant remember where

 Gladis didnt like the heat to much but they were nearly finished anyway.

 My parsley seems to be coming along although its in a pot with a lime tree and it gets a little shade.

 The dandelions on my lawn are pretty happy, which makes my rabbits happy. Im holding of mowing the lawn so they can have a bit of a feast.

 Pumpkins are in full flower, I bought these seeds of ebay I think they are giant pumpkins, they may taste awful. We will have to wait and see.

 Eggplant is starting to flower

 The 10 day old bunnies back in their outdoor hutch happily sleeping.

 I have blackberries oh how I love these.

 Im still loving the magical pattern on this rose

 The color of this one is just so pretty

 Well Cadbury is a happy boy , he has been indoors for a few days in a small cage but I just didnt want him out in the heat. So he is having a free range on the grass today to stretch those legs.

 My grapes are thriving, all this from a little cutting. This vine was from my Auntie who has since moved house and doesnt have this vine anymore so she is quite happy mine has taken of and is wanting a cutting back from me, Im going to have to learn how to get a grape cutting going as these are the sweetest yummiest red grapes.

 Now when I say "kids can you please organize your school books" I dont mean trash the lounge room aaagh. Some how my organized and their organized is not the same.

 Poor Gizzi is trapped in the room with the school books, she is looking at me as if to say "please Mummy get me out of here"

Look carefully the dogs are trapped in the left hand corner I dont think they are game to make their way through there and step on anything they shouldnt.
Well I have to go now and do something about this hideous mess xx
