Hi!
Nothing notable happened today.
We did sit out in the garage while it poured rain and split a heap of kindling (Lets be honest… Jeff did most of it. I am much slower. Even being careful I still managed to somehow get a bit of wood flipping back either side of my blade to smash into my hand!! (Now sporting two lumpy bruises))
(Not to mention straining a muscle/tendon in my finger/hand opening the fridge door last night, so I am feeling extra klutzy right now haha)
I went down to feed the girls a snack, came back up and they are all in the backyard! Cheeky snots. Didn’t realise the big gate was open. Opportunists!
You can see the day is a bit dismal looking (This was about 2pm)
We did get out for a short hike around the river – kitted up in our rain gear. Got more sweaty than rained on!!
Also on my list was to pick the remaining tomatoes. Well… I quit after filling the bucket. Too lazy to go find another bucket plus it was cold and raining so… time to enjoy the fire.
The lettuce is starting to flounder. Still got enough for dinners.
If I was smart I’d sort some hothouse space and put some more in. (Smart and motivated…. hmmm)
Anyways, nothing else monumental to report from today.
Hope everyone had/has a good Monday!
Cheers

Hi Lisa – I got out this morning and picked a bucket of strawberries. I am doing this every other day and gifted family and friends with the beauties. The spring weather has been perfect for ripening and sweetness of the berries. We have had many pies already. The lettuces are beginning to get just about big enough to start picking. Sweet peas are going to bloom soon and set pods. The potatoes are up and looking so good. If we don’t get another drought we may have some vegies this year. Loving seeing everything you are up to. It’s really busy around here right now also. So glad to see Pip is doing better and loving his heated towel. We are still having some cool nights and I call them three cat nights as they all snuggle in to get close to me for body heat.
Hi Beverly! Wow… buckets of strawberries! Sounds like bliss to me! So glad the weather is doing all the right things for your spring garden! I hope you continue to get enough rain throughout the season to keep things humming along in the veggie patch!
‘Three Cat nights’ Love it! Thats so very descriptive!! And snuggly!! My spoiled boy is of course wrapped up in his towel… and about to be put to bed!
