The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la .......

I'm thrilled to see my first hyacinth open.   IT'S PURPLE!!    I can't see what is the colour of the other two but I don't mind, now that I have one in my favourite colour .   It has a wonderful perfume.

I went to the monthly market today and bought 2 punnets of Johnny Jump Ups and 2 of a little blue daisy flower which will be shared between the garden bed and hanging baskets.
I hope that tomorrow when I plant them will be as beautiful as today.

The SES and the crop dusting pilots took advantage of the lovely weather to practise their bush fire techniques.    The crop dusters flew in (over our caravan) at app 20 second intervals and dropped a red substance, (pretending to be fire retardant), at the airport.  Then they flew off in a circle, returned to land at the airport and filled up with more "fire retardant."    This went on for about 5 hours ---- by which time it was no longer interesting!!   Although we appreciated their efforts to improve their skills.
