Australia's Father's Day is on the first Sunday in September, it is also the first week of Spring. Gardening and hardware tools are the popular gift ideas for this occasion. We have just put in new mulch for our garden and I have planted some pansies and roses in the pots. What a life to have by having these sweet, fluffy pancakes at the veranda surrounded by blooming flowers this Father's Day!
