Winter Approaches

Pip isn’t waiting for winter… probably looking for rabbits.
We’ve also got a young black cat hanging about the back veranda! 🙁
Its very cute. I think chasing moths of which there are heaps at the moment
I’ve left some food out… not sure if lost or feral. Pip has spotted her/him and is MOST intrigued.
I hope its got a warm safe place – and hopefully hunting mice!

Poor Flossie! What a time to be moulting! She looks pretty dreadful! Makes me want to dress her in a warm jacket, but I suppose let nature do its thing.

Fungi are out at the moment. Haven’t been anywhere to go properly seeking them out though.
This is just in the yard

Time to collect some carrot seeds? I’ve not really done this successfully before…
Perhaps its time to try again!

It was a bit breezy out there, so here are a couple of dodgy purple flower photos.
No idea what the above is but below is the salvia

And I did a double batch of soap with the Japanese Honeysuckle fragrance…one with lacy bottom and one without.

Super dodgy lighting – sorry. These will look a lot prettier in natural light rather than under the tungsten light!
Anyway, I just needed to add in some standard bars for my market stall as they were all getting a bit fancy and of course, then the price has to go up a bit.
I need to make sure I keep up making some of the $4 bars (Bargain hey? haha)

Anyway, short and sweet from me!
Cheers

  1. About those carrots going to seed. Year before last I let my carrots go to seed and when I cleaned up the patch they scattered everywhere even where I dragged the stalks through the weedy grass. They all came up in the spring and I had a lot of volunteer carrots so we ate well that year. I still have a few volunteers coming up this year. Those seeds were prolific. Loving the soap you are making. Pip is so cute looking out into the grass hoping for a rabbit. Sorry about the other cat. We live in an area where cats get tossed out and they always come to my door starving to death, so of course I feed them.

    1. What fun to have heaps of random carrots popping up everywhere!! I wonder if the same will happen to me now that I have them going to seed?
      Yes… the rabbits keep Pip entertained for sure! I haven’t seen the little black cat again… he’s either moved on or gone home I suppose. He was a cutie… I am the same as you! Feed ’em all! I kinda hoped he’d be happy under the house gorging on mice!
