Hi Ruby!

Hello!! I know I know… an eon has gone by since I took some photos for you and did a Ruby-Story!
I don’t have a particular story today, but we did drop in for a cuppa, a catch up and a sticky-beak into her garden!

(Two adorable nurses!!)
We caught her photosynthesising out the back in her comfy chair!
She jumped up to go do ‘busy Ruby things’ (probably like make us coffee) but I managed to get her plonked back down so I could take a few snaps!

And we dragged Margie out for a photo too – and Macca!

‘Oooo there’s not much in the garden’ says Ruby.
Honestly… its a darn sight better than mine that’s for sure! I’ll take partial credit for the lettuce as I grew them from my collected seeds! Ha!

They decided to pop in some mini cabbages and broccoli into the hothouse while it was busy doing nothing over winter!

And look at this!! Carrots galore, parsnip and broccoli!

The old broccoli are putting out side shoots – while the newer ones are growing nicely!

Jeff picked a bunch of the lemons that were all up so high – I brought some back with the intentions of making some cordial. Margie wants to make lemon butter. mmmmm

We enjoyed our cuppa with Ruby, swapping the latest news.
She is in the middle of a few knitting projects, which is great as the daylight is limited and often the weather not so good for her to be outside!

She knits long scarf-like strips before Margie sews them together for knee rugs!

After getting home and attending a few minor tasks I thought I might take a leaf out of Ruby’s book and sit back with my crochet hook and forget doing anything outside, as the afternoon turned quite cool!
Hope your Sunday was great too!
Cheers
