I took this photo of our new house-sit home on our way back from checking that the horses had water. It is quite an imposing house, perched on a hilltop and with very nice stone retaining walls. I’ll put a photo of them another time.
It’s been windy here today and we’ve done quite a bit of hand-watering as pots can dry out quickly in the wind. There are pots everywhere and you have to remember to look up and down as some are in hanging baskets or on tops of cupboards while others are tucked under benches. Hopefully, we won’t miss any.

Hmm... it does look like a nice house from the outside. I bet playing hide-and-seek with plants wasn't something you thought you'd have fun doing today, was it?

@MrDenata I am doing well. Thanks for asking. Temperature is expected to drop drastically tomorrow to 11c from today's 25c. I don't like it.

@JudyEv I guess, they have complete state-of-the-art home equipment. I love that, a house in the center of a farm (more like a rural area) but with all the modern amenities I would like to enjoy. I wish house-sitting is also practiced in my area.

@allknowing These have not been planted long. Once they are more established, they won't get so much water.

We watered the lawn today and will water the pear trees when the weather cools down a bit.

It is! And it is awash with blossoms. It's so bright when the sun is shining.

There's something about stone walls that look 'homey'.

Sounds like a horror movie, “The Plant Pots That Ate Western Australia.”
That house certainly looks large in the photo.

Yes, although it is pretty standard for here - four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
