Sunday Collections

Hello!
How was your Sunday? Or are you just heading into your Sunday in another part of the world??
We went off to the markets this morning in Penguin. Always a good standby especially if the weather is a bit dodgy.
Jeff and I did a little Christmas shopping (Determined this year not to let the festive season slide by without noticing like the past couple of years haha)
This afternoon Mum and Dad came out into the back paddock with me.
Mum collected a bucket of daffies.

Dad helped me fill and haul three bags of pine cones back up to the house!

We walked down to the little creek just for a sticky-beak as my parents hadn’t been down there before.

I still have my eye on this beauty 🙂

I managed to collect some more eggs! We have so many eggs!! We’ve been selling them on and using lots. I am loving having my supply line back on track! I reckon Mum and Dad will take a few dozen home with them!

I put some of my collected snow pea seeds into the ground. I am using the raised bed where there is a climbing frame for them

Then I moved all those ridiculously heavy sods of grass that I dug out of the raspberry patch for the third and hopefully last time.
Jeff had the idea to put them around the man ferns where the soil and grass is a bit poor

I am sure after a while it will all grow in and look less patchworky.
(if it doesn’t die!!)

The cos lettuce seeds have started making an appearance!
The rocket is really looking good too!

After all that I stocked up on firewood for the back veranda, dropped into the supermarket, made dinner, baked a cake, put on bread to bake and got our gear together as tomorrows plan is a drive up to Cradle!

Ready for bed I reckon!
Cheers!

PS – Thank-you for all Ruby’s well wishes!! When I have a chance I will ring her so I can read out everyones messages from here and facebook! 🙂

  1. Hi Lisa,
    We tried to phone Ruby yesterday. We left a message as there was no answer. Could you please pass on our wishes to the birthday girl just in case she didn’t get the phone message.
    Looks like you are having a lovely time with your parents. I’m sure you will all enjoy Cradle tomorrow. Love to all….Judy

    1. Thanks Judy! I will find out if she got the message, but will pass on your wishes anyway!
      Cradle was drizzly but lovely as usual!! xxx
