Arrow to my heart

An arrow through a heart means that Cupid has pierced your heart, which means that you have fallen in love.

But then the challenge said an arrow "to" so was this to be something that caused pain?

On the day before I headed back to NYC I visited the gorgeous niece and the delightful "boy".
he was soooo sick just sleeping the whole time none of the great gusto in evidence. :(

Get to the point

 Getting to the point was our goal!
The fence line at Aireys has been an issue since the new tenants moved in next door and we have had a surveyor establish the fence line and had marked the line with pegs.
However the neighbours drove tucks in and over the pegs so that they were difficult to find.
Michele was on a mission and we set out armed with a surveyors plan of the block and a garden fork.
Fortunately our "fencing" neighbour arrived home early and was delighted to assist in the hunt for the "offical" pegs.

 The first peg was found and we were able to figure out the point at which our drive way access started. A star picket now marks the spot and is painted white thanks to our helpful neighbour.

Frame










To roll over in the morning and framed by the window are the gum tree tops in our yard in Aireys Inlet.










The windows of the house frame the garden and the wildlife there beautifully.

Bloom where you are planted

 The day began late and we were heading out to Medhurst Winery picking up Karen on the way to celebrate Gerry's birthday.
In the block opposite Karen's place was a trampoline "blooming where it was planted"!
 The glorious sunshine helped us gain a bloom in our cheeks- or perhaps it was the wine or the great food or the great company

 The food and wine tasting and sunshine continued for hours!
Some blooms at the winery

Some birthday blooms for the birthday girl

A blooming great vista

Vines ready to bloom in a wine barrel

Even the bloomin' floor mops had a barrel!

Shadow Dancing

 On my way to the library I checked what the word/concept for the day was- perfect- it was sunny so an opportunity was there to get myself walking along beside the school the bag is full of books to return to the library.

Gobbledygook!

gobbledegook, gobbledygook [ˈgɒbəldɪˌguːk]n pretentious or unintelligible jargon, such as that used by officials

Perfect timing! We are in the midst of a Federal Election campaign and the media is full of political commentary and views- what better way to represent gobbledegook than a photo of a page of the newspaper backwards- it is just as intelligible that way!
