The yard was desiccated grass back then. Note the spear on the grass tree. It was a present from my mother and has been reversed-over by learner-drivers several times. This thing is like a phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Note red P-plates on the car. Since taking this picture, both my girls are now on greens. The grass tree is safe until my son starts to learn to reverse down the driveway.<\/p>\n<p>In the shade of the car port there is a pond that contains some VERY LOUD frogs. The bush behind the pond houses bandicoots and the occasional snake. There are also a resident pair of bush turkeys that dig around in the garden. Yeah, I bet all the posh neighbours love our bush! \/sarcasm<\/p>\n<p>Shade on the driveway is courtesy of the neighbour\u2019s jacaranda tree. I spend the entire month of October daily sweeping the driveway, because it gets so slippery that cars won\u2019t go up it when it\u2019s raining.<\/p>\n<p>On my desk, notice the Kobo Touch and notice the distinct absence of cats.<\/p>\n<h3>Whose writing space can we see tomorrow?<\/h3>\n<p>Jason Fischer<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Want to share a photo of your own writing space?<\/p>\n<p>Pop it onto my <a title=\"FB\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ZenaShapter\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a> for all to see!
