A native bee visited my garden

Just now I was having a yak on the phone, leaning out the one remaining unglazed window on our back deck when I saw a new buzzy in the garden. Mrs Bee was working hard, pollinating my tomatoes but she was missing her golden stripes.

Pumpkins

My pumpkin crop has not quite eventuated as I dreamed back in November and December when I first started chucking seeds in anywhere there was space. I blame the weather.
