Party time and Mangoes

with the party season upon us...

I had a go at some bunting to pretty up the old carport we use...

just some leftover paper ribbon...

and some paper doilies stapled on...

it wont last long with the wind and rain its likely to get...

but it'll do for now...

 

 

then as I had donated our old Christmas tree...

I found an old seed pod from our palm tree...

it had almost the right shape...

bit wonky but that's me to a tee...

 

found a few baubles for decoration...

a piece of paper chain that had been saved from Mstr 11 months...

who had found it in a cupboard...

with great joy had rattled it around laughing all the while...

till he realised it would rip and tear so he proceeded to do so...

again with great joy...

 

an old crochet tablecloth prettied up the esky it sits on...

 

and finally taaa...daaa...our mango tree..

quite full of mangoes this year...

all the trees in the area seem to be quite overloaded...

must be all the rain we had at the start of this year...

 

this is what we find every morning...

carnage...

the leftovers from the possums and bats who are loving the fruit feast..

my job is to find any good ones and dispose of the rest..

we too have had quite a feast...

bucket loads actually...

sending visitors home with bagsful...

and still there's more!!...
