Spring!

Spring is here but Tassie didn’t get the memo – looks like its housework for me today!
Which is why now is the perfect time to do last nights blog- in the spirit of procrastination!

So… my new photo challenge on Facebook has started. The first subject is ‘Purple’ I didn’t manage to get anything super inspiring so I pinched one of Jeffs rocks. Amethyst is purple… it does the job!! At least I have the next two subjects covered with a bit more creativity!

I cut the loaf soap! Was really pleased with how it cut! For the first time no breaking – lovely and smooth. Plus the marbled colours are a bit fun.

We went out to Bunnings to grab the last lot of timber so we can complete the structures for the new garden plot.
Jeff is on nights for a bit so I have to wait before they can go together. I could do it but I certainly can’t lift a whole section myself. Patience.
I got some seedlings too. A tomato to start things happening in the hothouse, plus some lettuce seedlings.
The lettuce I got because I am intending to run a workshop for beginner gardeners next weekend. I can use them to show how to separate and plant seedlings. Was too early to grow my own batch.
Its just a hands on basic class on where to start to give people confidence to go home and throw something together and get into it.
I confess I am a little nervous. I want max. 8 people. I think there are 4 confirmed, one maybe.

The chooks are laying well and fairly steadily.

All around there are teasing signs of spring.

Tulips pushing their way up.

The protea just keeps going.

The freesia are struggling to find room to bloom, poor things

This self sown silverbeet has grown happily all winter among the flowers and weeds! Amazing. No help from me at all.

I cleared out the big woodbox in the (very very messy) BBQ area. Its now ready to take all the new stuff we’ve been cutting. It held all the smaller sized wood which has been great with boosting up the fire over the winter. Was worth the effort of cutting and stacking.

Anyway – I guess I should go look at some housework type jobs.
I need to find the dining room table again.
Perhaps later indulge in some soap making??
Who knows!
Happy Sunday!
Cheers
