Here's the church, here's the steeple.....

All hands on deck here this morning before the forecast showers arrived.........
      Fill in the trench to the laundry.
      Spread or remove two big rubble/dirt piles.
      Cut the concrete lines on the shed/garage (there's probably a proper word for that).
       Put up the portal ( builder speak).
All done and dusted in a couple of hours.

We still had some gaps to fill along the road boundary fence. I bought 10 more tubes of the pin cushion hakea that we had already planted there.
They don't grow tall enough to be a problem under the power lines and they look very pretty when in flower. 

I hope ours look as gorgeous as these.

And while I was wandering around and soaking in all the loveliness at our local nursery yesterday, I found these two perfect ground covers ....

.....for here.

We think we may just leave this area as a native area and plant some ground covers ( only grow to 30 cms) for a bit of colour and interest. Hopefully I might be able to propagate them and add some more of the same.
Making it grass seems too hard now and unnecessary. I'm still pondering the possibility of meandering a pathway through there though....just a natural dirt/leaf litter one.
The red flowering plant is a low growing grevillea called Billy Wings ( had to get that one didn't I).
The yellow button flowered one is a Golden Everlasting called Desert Flame.
I especially like the silvery grey foliage on both of them.

Bill found these old fence palings advertised on Gumtree for free. We will use them to build a fence around our kitchen garden wherever that may be. 

The fog a few days ago cast a whole new look out the back. 

The horses are back and we love seeing them in our paddocks again. They are both in foal.

The yellow you can see in the paddocks is onion weed drying off. If only there was a way to get rid of it. I'm sure it would make the horses happy too.
