Wow – as I am typing this I am wondering if the house will be in one piece by morning!! The wind is feral out there. The gusts are actually a bit frightening! The big trees just out the front of our house are taking a beating – and are being blown in our direction. Limbs and sticks are constantly hitting the house.
I wouldn’t say its a comforting sound!
Usually I enjoy the wind.
But its been high and constant for days. Once it stops it will be a bit eerie without the noise.
So – I’ve not done anything super exciting (again). We did go down to Fossil Bluff in the wind and rain to look for agates just to get out of the house.
I got my seed order! Very exciting.
I can’t plant for a while yet, but its fun to be ready to go!
My cabbages still aren’t really doing much. Honestly they are a lost cause this year.
Never mind.
A little patch of liliums are looking lovely. Luckily they are in a reasonably sheltered spot.
The snow peas that I put in the hothouse a while back are starting to grab things and climb. That’s encouraging!
The worms are busy and seem to be doing well.
I’ve got a nice little bucket of worm wee ready to be used on something.
Check it out! 4 plump asparagus spears!
How does everyone cook them? I was thinking just a little steaming with butter and garlic salt. Can you believe I’ve never cooked them before?
No doubt our new display cabinet will be a continual work of rearranging and adding.
Its looking pretty and colourful so far.
I want to fill the bottom completely with shells and driftwood. (Of which I know we have plenty of)
Anyway, we’ve been making good use of the fire. We didn’t light it until later this afternoon (being brave and saving on wood) Once it was lit, we didn’t stray far from it!!
Hope everyone’s week is going along well!
Cheers!
Steamed asparagus is wonderful, so is eating it raw. We love it anyway we can get it. This time of year for us in North Carolina USA is not a good season for it. Your pictures are so beautiful. We are just coming out of a drought here and everything has dried up. We did get a good rain last night of about 1 1/2 inches which is the most rain we have had in a long time. I’m going to plan a fall garden now that it seems the drought has broken – at least we are told it has. Keep sending out your postings. I do enjoy them so much.
Hi Beverly!! Drought is so harsh! So much of Australia is declared a drought area!! I am glad you got some decent rain and hope it keeps up a bit so you can put some garden in!
Glad you enjoy the posts! I am sure things will get prettier as the spring unfolds!
I love your new display cabinet!
Thank-you!! Us too! Giving us a lot of visual pleasure already!
I saute my asparagus in a little olive oil and butter with garlic, salt & pepper.
mmmmm I am liking the sound of this!
