Purple Berries

We have a plant growing in our garden that has gorgeous purple berries.  I suspect it is a native plant, but do not know its name (can you help?).

I had some fun this morning.  The battery went flat in my car key fob, so I used the key to open the door and the alarm went off!
I fiddled around with a few things and it eventually stopped - son thinks perhaps there was enough charge left to allow me to start the car and thus stop the alarm.  Who knows? LOL

We are slowly getting the house back into order again. The pile of boxes is growing smaller each day.

Son and I are both loving the new feeling in the house. I smile every time I walk in the door!

  1. Is it a Blue Flax Lilly? So pretty! My car sent me a message one day that my battery was low in the key fob so I stopped by the car dealership and they replaced the battery for me. Who knew! Hope you get unpacked and settled in soon, nice to have new paint and carpeting!

  8. Those fobs can be strange. When I use mine to open the driver's side door the seat goes into recline...I mean it goes all the way back. When husband uses his fob all is normal.
    Whatever that plant is the berries are quite pretty. GM

  9. i as thought it was a type of flax...
    My fob battery went flat, and then I discovered that although the key will open the door, it won't start the motor...
    Thankfully once the battery was replaced all was resolved. I now know what the red key icon means on the dashboard!! :)
    The house looks stunning - so glad you are happy with the results
    Blessings

  11. I've seen that plant too but can't remember it's name. I like how when I'm sorting out my house, I get to throw stuff out or take it to the op shop.
