Something about gardens, weeds, grass, flowers?

(Thanks Nick for helping me with that smashing title). Yesterday I was under the weather so after dropping the boys at school (they were not excited about school, as Caleb expressed it - it's just normal now) and doing a quick house-clean including most of the ironing, I had a very quiet day at home, by myself. It was lovely though not to be needed anywhere for anything!
Rachel and Josh called in this morning for a cuppa and catch-up - good to be reminded what they look like :) - and on her way out Rachel pulled up a few weeds in a very (land)lady-like manner. I took the hint and got stuck in, enjoying the sunny, still morning in the garden and watching as huge pieces of earth appeared in the absence of weeds and grass. Long-dormant bulbs have come up and are producing such a variety of beautiful flowers. There is also a wisteria plant climbing over some bushes and drooping its purple blossoms from on high - the non-maintained garden is looking great! I was glad to have been outside in the morning as once again there was a sudden change in the weather in the early afternoon. Caleb went on a field trip to the Scenic Reserve with his class today but reported that they were just finishing off when the wind started blowing.
