Little Moo enjoying some silverbeet!!
He is a happy chap lately as there are cows in his neighbouring paddock – sometimes if he bellows loud enough they come over to keep him company.
Mind you, I went out and called him and he came springing over to me like a lamb!! So funny.
Then we walked back over to meet his friends.

Whilst on the topic of cows… yesterday, somehow I managed to convince Jeff who was settled in listening to a book in front of the fire after our walk that it would be the best fun afternoon activity ever if he joined me with a shovel and the wheel barrow.

Yup – cow poo collecting! haha – three barrows worth!
I must admit Jeff wasn’t skipping out of the house in glee at the prospect, but his sense of humour kicked in – musing something about his school year book ‘where do you see yourself in 30 years’ kind of thing.
Running about a paddock to collect cow poo to save five bucks was not it.
(I am positive its worth more than five….)
Anyway, once the weather fines up again I will put most of this on the two Huggle Monsters (Hugelkultur Gardens) Plenty of time for it to age before spring planting.

Today was a bit of a run about day – shops, chemist, optometrist – that kind of thing. It was also pretty wet and gloomy.
I actually drew a starting plan for the garden out the back that I started pulling apart.
Its starting to form a picture in my mind. Now have to get on with the clearing and prepping of the area!!
Sorry – not the greatest snap – that spiral thing is meant to be a rock herb spiral.
There will be raised beds flanking the inner bit – the strawberry part will be deeper as thats where the land slopes a bit.
I can work with 6-7 metres across and 4mt deep.
I’ve been looking at pinterest too long and have some fabulously unrealistic plans for the path.
The tree guys are meant to be returning soon so unsure HOW to juggle everything – but you’ve got to have plans, right??

I read a crochet pattern from a book for the first time! Took me all of a rainy afternoon to sort it out (I am a youtube person when it comes to learning new patterns) My first one was a bit muffed but this one worked out ok. The colours are a bit terrible in the snap – dark day and indoor lighting kills the colour. Just unsure if I have the patience to do 17 more!! (or the yarn)

So – not much else really happening today. Sold my last strawberry plants, so they made a grand total of $51!! A nice addition to my gardening fund!

Hope you have a great day or evening (whenever you are) – take a leaf out of Pips book: Be Relaxed!! 🙂

Cheers
