By the middle of August we are well and truly getting ready for summer. A pool for swimming and cooling off perhaps.

This was taken in August some years back but it always reminds me of the end of winter – preparing for summer.

Hope they’ll be done with the pool soon so you can make use of it! Wattle (in my country of origin – Holland) we call mimosa – which I love because of it’s fragile texture and its fragrance. Many thanks Irene for your experience and sharing it with All Seasons! These tree barks have an interesting texture. Have a beautiful week:)

I wasn’t aware that wattle had made it out of Australia. Thats the thing I love about blogging – we learn so much about other places. Here we see wattle as a bit of a pest but the flowers make a great display when driving through the countryside. The pool is at a house we no longer live at but it always reminds me that in August we prepare for summer.

In Holland (my country of origin) mimosa are imported from France (expensive too!). So, it was a great surprise, these bloom in Australia too:):)

They are actually an Australian Native plant and those in France would have originally come from here.
