About joybells2
Live in a small coastal town with a long surf beach, on the fringes of the sub-tropical regions, which is popular with tourists (a mixed blessing). "Garden "consists of many potted plants, but would like more. Used to even have potted plants when B. & I worked as crew on a family-owned pleasure cruiser (seems like a lifetime ago). Still have some of them, including a kentia palm. Amazing how they were able to survive!!! Our town is surrounded by two National Parks , Bundjalung & Broadwater, as well as the Pacific Ocean . Enjoy my plants & finding forums such as this whilst trying to hone my computer & typing "skills". It's all new to me, a very late starter to the computer age.

Day eight of our bushfires & they seem to be almost over. It rained for a short while this a.m. after a great deal of bluff & bluster of yesterday afternoon's electrical storms which amounted to nothing. Typical, a lot of threats & bullying but no a...
Bushfire & Grasstrees
The fires are still burning. Two boys were caught (CCTV did it) trying to light a fire in the town, as if there wasn't enough to contend with!!! The hard-working volunteers - men & women - did a controlled burn on the southern part of town, to protec...
The Bushfire still burns!!!
Keep thinking that the fire has been contained but the skies are still a-buzz with the sounds of crop-duster planes carting water to be dumped on the blazes. The surf lifesaving rescue helicopter has joined them now. This is now day three, with not m...
