I had a real "Oh my gosh" moment today. I looked up and and saw our Wattle tree in full bloom and I had not even noticed. To be honest I didn't even know it was a Wattle. Now that I know that, maybe I can work out what type it is. A quick Google and I'm thinking Acacia pycnantha? Whatever it is, it's pretty. Wattle is truly lovely isn't it. The green and gold combination is so striking.
Here is another one I am thinking must be Wattle. It hasn't bloomed yet. Maybe this is Acacia elongata? It is a very spindly tree. There appeared to be a second one growing beside it, but when we dug it up to put our vegie bed in, it looked like it had shot from the root stock. Does Wattle do this?

Today was such a lovely day. I pottered around with my camera and took more photos. I weeded where I could. I love weeding. It is so satisfying to pluck weeds out of the earth. The children played with the guinea pigs and pushed each other around on the swing.
