nothing much

Not a lot to report from Tribes at the moment.

Sommai's cafe and gallery has finally opened,

brightening the streetscape

the sunflowers Rob and I planted are flowering

The other day I noticed  how pretty this shelf looked, and how many memories it provokes:  2 gifts from The Floosie's overseas travels; a card from a friend of Steve's who also loves Viet Nam; a chocolate wrapper from the day I left 2020 covid quarantine in Launceston and reclaimed my car and Easter eggs in Devonport; and of course the Gold Bunny rose, a house warming gift yet again from The Floosie, though she was Southern Belle at the time.  After a slow start, this rose has really established itself and continues to bloom profusely.  I am collecting the petals for a friend's daughter who gets married soon at the Spring Bay Mill.

And talking of weddings,

here are the photos I was going to blog back in January on our 21st wedding anniversary.  Actually I intended to show more, but this will do for now.

Breeding will out.
