Wonderful Day

The day started with an almost traditional tractor delivery:

Fantastic giant welded flowers for the garden!

More for the garden:

Two fringe flowers (Lorepetalum chinense rubrum), "China Pink" and "Plum Gorgeous", and a rose, "Eiffel Tower".

And then we had snow!

Melting as it fell, but it was actual falling snow.

Later in the morning I went to visit my parents. On the way home we saw this:

Picture taken through the rear view mirror, so not brilliant. But that is a wedge-tailed eagle! It was eating a poor kangaroo that had been hit by a car. There were two eagles but one took off as we stopped the ute to get the photo. They really are huge when you get that close to them!

In the afternoon some friends and family helped with the celebration:

There is no significance to the number of candles. As we ate cake we watched spinebills in the salvias outside the window.

What a wonderful day!
