Happy Wattle Day!
This is a blackwood, or Acacia melanoxylon, flowering for wattle day.
Other signs of spring include grape hyacinths:
and daffodils:
When we were out walking this afternoon, the dogs alerted us to an echidna:
We often see evidence of them digging out ant nests, but this is the first one we have actually seen since last summer.
In the sewing room I made some more Positivity blocks, then pinned them up to see how they look:
Happy spring to my southern hemisphere friends.

Happy Spring to you! I love the positivity blocks! The echidna is such a strange thing. I kind of feel sorry for it because it is so odd looking, but I guess others of its own kind don’t think so. Daffodils are a sure sign of spring.
Happy Spring!
Here we are under low temperatures in the morning and at night, and by middle of the month a new very cold polar wave will hit us. Beaitiful flowers on your garden. Love the colors of your Positivity blocks.
Happy start to SPRinG.... I love all your flower pics...
Positivity is looking great too...well done...xox
A great start to Spring! Echidna sightings are so special. I worry when I see one ambling along the side of the road and hope they stay off the bitumen.
Lovely flowers & happy spring! it's so nice to see the warmer Spring weather starting. Your positivity blocks are looking good.
I love how one day, you wake up and the bulbs and spring flowers have started blooming overnight.
Happy Spring! Love that the flowering has begun! Cool, learned about the Wattle today and always lovely to see that Daffodils are also a announce Spring on your side of the world. Preeti's "Positivity" block reminded me of Bonnie Hunter's "Garlic Knots". I like that it's a "Disappearing 4-Patch" construction. Will have to try that one day!
