Autumn Five on Friday



This week I thought I would highlight
Autumn related moments in my week.




I've spent the last two weekends
re-doing my garden pots.
We are lucky in this part of the world
where we can still have colour in the garden
during the cold bleak days of Winter.
This pot above contains Primulas, Pansies,
Forget-me-nots and Sweet Alyssum.




Our fruits of Autumn include Persimmon, 
Tamarillos and Kiwi Fruit.



This dainty Royal Doulton coffee cup

Meet my newest garden friends
Mr & Mrs Goosey Gander.
I found them on my trip to Morrinsville!


I'm joining 
Amy for Five on Friday
Thank you for hosting.


Take care and
be kind to one another

à bientôt



Shane

  1. Here I am in the uk surrounded by lots of seedlings in my garden I have just potted on ready for the approaching Summer. forgetting that in other countries you have a different season. What a lot of persimmon fruits, I love Kiwi fruits you are very lucky to be able to grow your own. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden photos.

  5. Your goosey companions are very charming and will look lovely in your garden. It's nice to see autumn photos even while spring is making inroads here. We can have floral pots through most of the winter here, too - pansies last well. Enjoy your weekend, Shane!

  6. It never fails to amaze me how living on opposite side of this world that we move into the opposite season. A great reminder x

  10. Lots of goodies tonight, Shane. I totally loss your goosey ganders, and the Royal Doulton is beautiful for the season. Gardening in the Auckland climate would be very rewarding, I suspect, and your plants are always gorgeous. I too am planting some pansies, as we are finally getting some cooler weather. Happy Sunday. xx

  17. It does seem odd to be looking at pictures of autumn when we are enjoying Spring - though it's absolutely pouring down today:) Autumn is my favourite season of the year so it's always nice to see all those lovely autumn colours.

  18. Dearest Shane, while I am surrounded by spring beauty at the moment I thoroughly enjoyed your autumn beauty. The golden tones made my heart sing.

    I hope you are well... Love to you!

  19. The weather here today is more autumnal than springlike, but not anything like as beautiful as your autumn is looking! We have rain and grey, not beautiful autumn leaf colours. One of the things I love most about blogging is seeing two seasons at once! Love your new ducks as well! Thank you for joining Five On Friday, I hope you are having a great weekend!

  20. Hi Shane,
    I'm hoping your pretty autumn posts will help keep me cool this summer! Love autumn color and the pansies are lovely (like the water drops) -- such a happy flower with their little faces. Fruits and teacups -- perfect! I think garden art is great and Mr. and Mrs. Goosey Gander are just too cute. They will bring a lot of smiles! Have a lovely week.

  23. Such wonderful Autumn colours. Spring and Autumn are my two favourite seasons and here right now we are going through Spring so it's nice to see some of those Autumn colours. Thanks for sharing!

  24. Lovely autumn colours. We are in autumn too, although with our warm temps still carrying on you wouldn't think it. Love your new garden friends!

  25. I always associate persimmons with China. Sometimes we get them in the shops here but I have been puzzled by when to eat them. Some are very soft and some are very firm. Do you just eat them as fresh fruit? When are they best to eat?

  26. Hi Shane, Our persimmon tree, which grows wild beside a farm track, has been loaded this year. As soon as it stops raining I will gather some to take to friends who love them. The photo you mentioned was taken from the side of the road on the way out to Whangarei Heads, zoomed in a lot.

  27. Dearest Shane,
    That were five lovely photos and I especially loved seeing your persimmon; love their orange color and especially for the fall that is so happy looking.
    Your garden friends are cute as well!
    Happy Sunday to you and hugs,
    Mariette

  28. I love your sweet cp and the fact that you still have pansies in Autumn. It seems the summer heat kills ours. So very pretty, Shane. Hope you are having a happy weekend!

  30. A lovely post with an Autumn theme. Love the grape design on the coffee cup and saucer, your new Goosey Ganders, the wonderful produce you can enjoy because of
    your climate. I hope your week is going well.
