Well, yes but give them time to flower.
There was a big clump of them under an overgrown carpet rose and in all little hidden spots around the garden. It was like Christmas. Hard work though trying to avoid hubby being pricked with thorns as he has to avoid infections. I have to follow him around with the betadine.

I do know the feeling,- along with picking him up off whichever floor he has met along the way.

We could have done with someone to pick us both up off the floor today. Down on knees trying to find the key number on the garage door lock....key never turned up on house settlement......to order a new one. Both got stuck there, looked at each other and burst out laughing. Lesson.....only one at a time on the floor otherwise no one to grab to get back up.

At the moment that sounds lovely.
28-30 degrees may not sound much to those in warmer climes, but we are just not used to extremes of temperature here.
The wildfires are awful; so much wildlife lost, and the crop fields at the farm are golden - but they shouldn't be, not yet. Haylage for the animals is getting scarce and expensive, because this has come on the back of a spring which was so very wet - and now they have no summer grazing. My lawn has some interesting big cracks in it.
We had more snow than usual last winter, too. Friend in Canada thought this hilarious - our little bit of snow (she lived in the mountains). However, she spent the remainder of winter in England and complained she couldn't cope - "You don't have snow tyres, you don't have chains... you don't even have snowploughs! This is hell!"
We are a strange breed.

We are also experiencing one of our worst droughts. Here where we are it is a fat lamb growing area but we are having to bring in hay from as far away as South Australia and Queensland. There is no feed on the ground and the suicide rate for farmers has never been so high. They just can’t cope.
Driving from Sydney over the mountains to here, what used to be green or yellow with canola is brown dry earth and dried up dams. It’s just so very sad for them. It’s true, we are a country of droughts and flooding rains but it seems more drought than rain in the last few years.
