Our house is empty, Eleni got on a plane headed for LA this morning. It was nice having someone around during the day, Jolene isn't always that great for conversation. We are hoping to fly back sometime next summer so the family can see the new baby, that seems like forever away.
The above pics I took at the Geelong Botanical Gardens this past week. Eleni, Jolene and I went there Tuesday afternoon to look at all the cool plants. I really like the bottle trees, it would be nice to plant one in the backyard if there is room.
That night we went for a walk along the bay so Eleni could get some pictures of the bayside bollards.
Allen Blackwood is coming to stay with us on Friday for the rest of his semester. We have never had a student stay with us, it will be interesting to see how it works out. It will definitely be nice to have another option for babysitting : -)
Spring is just around the corner, I need to start thinking about planting a garden. You can grow some things almost year round. We might get a frost once or twice during the winter and that is all. I would like to have a lemon tree and if we have enough money maybe a lime as well.

You could get a lemon tree and graft lime branches onto that. I know of someone who did it, but know little about how to actually do it.
Alicia, that sounds like an interesting idea. I wonder if I could buy a lime tree and graft a lemon branch on to it? I have friends here who have a lemon tree already, so the graft would be easy to get.
That may work. I found the site below which gives a good overview. I'm not sure how much you'd have to research it. Sam & Meg S. are doing this with some trees, I could give you their email address if you want it.

you would like to "have" a lemon tree? and a lime "as well?" BOY YOU GUYS ARE GETTING AUSSIFIED!!!! ;) hehehehe. it's easy. they talk like that sort of in england (as well) and when i was there for 5 weeks during a summer in college i started picking up "wee" phrases "a bit". and then came home with "a bit" of an accent. i "fancied" things too. ;) tee hee. :)
