Gardening, gardening, gardening...

Nathan and I have been going crazy in the garden lately! We're making our yard look really beautiful by adding flowers, trees, shrubs and herbs and religiously watering each and every plant to make sure it not only survives this horrible drought, but also looks more and more fabulous as time goes on. I have to say that even though most of the plants are still babies, it's really adding to the look of our place. Today I planted a heap of flowers in the front garden including dianthus which is my favourite! We also planted some garlic chives because Nath wanted some for cooking and tended to our tiny paw-paw tree and the passionfruit we got for a bargain $2. Fingers crossed that the bats won't want to eat our fruit in the future... but I think when they bear fruit, we'll have to cover them just in case.

Jas and Kyren say 'I do'

We celebrated Jason and Kyren Luostarinen's wedding on the first Saturday of 2007 in style at the Hope Island Golf Club. It was a gorgeous day, everyone looked beautiful and the reception was perfect. The happy couple then moved to Holland a few days later to start their newly wed adventures away from prying eyes... and to do some cool music stuff too! Congratulations guys!

Happy birthday Marcus!

We celebrated Marcus' 29th birthday with mango daquiris, great food and company but best of all... Airyk! Our favourite American is here to stay for a few months and it was wonderful that he could be here to share the fun and wish our beautiful Marcus a happy birthday before he starts to get really old! I made a passionfruit cheesecake and Nathan and I forgot the birthday card which was actually quite lucky because we had written happy 30th in it! We'll just have to give it to him next year!
