Getting Outside

Fresh Greens for the Girls

Hello! Midweek already!

It started off lovely and sunny today… had a minor lapse early afternoon, then fined up again! All in all not too bad!

It was good to get out and do ‘this and that’

Thought the chooks would like some fresh greens

Anticipation

Then they all stood around, clearly asking where the bacon was?

Too healthy

I left them to it and went to collect the eggs, only to turn around and find the whole squadron had followed me to the coop -still looking for bacon or hot mash no doubt!

I hadn’t collected the eggs for a couple of days!

I am pleased to report that when I returned later in the day, all their green snacks had gone! Good girls!

Time to finish mulching the rest of the salvia! It was easier this time as it was drier and whizzed through rather nicely

Its like potpourri

I was also keeping an eye on the weather – the rain was creeping slowly closer

Despite lack of sun, the breeze was helpful

I fed the worms too… some of the peelings that the chickens tend to ignore and eggshells and general grotty bits I put in the Gee Whizzer and put the slop into the compost.

Surviving…

The chickens did get into this and now the broccoli looks kinda bedraggled

Things are going well in the hothouse for this time of year

I do think it may be time to remove the last tomato plants… (maybe)

Just a few tomatoes left

I even have some accidental celery! I left it in a pot outside the hothouse door and it has rooted into the ground and is looking really quite good!

Having done all my yard tasks, brought up some barrow loads of wood, watered the hothouse plants etc, I took my rake and headed to the beach…

Rake & Me, hanging out at Fossil Bluff

I know – why be normal??

I was doing an elaborate wedding message in time-lapse and figured that taking a rake to smooth the sand would be useful.

I get a lot of weird looks when I go to Fossil Bluff lately!

Have an awesome day everyone!

Cheers!
