Hello!
Jeff and I have managed to hike daily since we decided to remove the ‘iso muffin tops’
Today was a good couple of hours up and down the logging tracks of Oldina.
I thought it was going to rain so didn’t take my camera…
Not a drop to be seen! (Of course)
A few pretties in the garden.
And my hothouse lettuce are going along pretty well!
The potatoes are reaching for the sky!
Poor things looking for more light I suspect… but they look happy enough
Really have to pick these… will have to buy a few as well.
We are out of sweet chilli sauce – which is a bit sad really…
And check out Tentacular! He needs a severe haircut
While doing various end of day tasks, I find this madam out in the wrong side of the yard!
She often is!! And she knows exactly where to take her feathery butt when I tell her off. I just open gates and through she goes!
The girls are laying pretty well, despite it being winter
I’ve got one last silverbeet in the garden (that just self seeded) that I get to feed to the chooks every now and again, so they are happy with some fresh greens
Happily we are still foraging fresh greens for us too
The cape gooseberry really is over reaching onto the herb spiral!!
Oh – during our walk we found some timber offcuts. Looks like someone helped themselves to a tree and did some milling.
The leftovers looked like the outside of the tree…
I am not sure how dodgy it is that we decided to ‘clean it up’ and add it to our stash of firewood!!
Its really green – heavy stuff! Will have to wait a season before using.
We often see evidence of people helping themselves to wood. Pity we can’t just go into the areas where they are harvesting wood to collect the stuff they just end up burning or left there to rot. Apparently its hard to get a permit to do that.
Its also all a bit long for our fireplace. Eventually we’ll need to cut it in half.
Speaking of fires…
So cosy of an evening! I’ve got another load of washing happily hanging up on the new hoist! Its so convenient… and because its rather high Its not really in our face as laundry hanging about (so to speak)
Hello from Pip.
He likes to sit on the chair headrest behind where Jeff sits. Just to keep Jeff company I think!
Mind you, right now he is wrapped in a warm towel, snugged up in his new pet bed which I picked up yesterday which is all nice and soft and squidgy!
And check this out! I found an orange calendula!! Dunno how I got one of those!
I’ve stopped wondering deeply about a lot of the plants that appear. I just say thank-you and enjoy!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Cheers
