Yard Work

It wasn’t too bad out there today! Both Jeff and I got out there to get into some tasks before the rain sets in from now! (Yes and even another load of laundry done and dried! I am on a roll)(Lets not talk about the folding ok?)

I finished pruning off another bush while Jeff got into the lawn

While all the mowing and whipper-snippering is going on, the gates are open and the fences down – its heaven for the chooks as they can free range a little further than normal. Its very exciting for them!

Pip also got dragged out from under the doona to get a little sunshine as well

Although his idea of ‘helping’ is to sit on my shoulders while I am trying to prune – wasn’t what I had in mind!

I got about halfway through the Salvia clippings, putting them through the little mulcher

They actually looked quite pretty all chopped up

I started filling up the second of my new composts with the clippings and chippings!

I did notice the first bin was warmer and showing condensation on the inside of the lid! I figure this is a good sign

Jeff had moved on from the lawn and was making a dent in all the rocks and gravel that had washed down the backyard in the flood and was starting to reconstruct the path. I was getting chilly, so I left the mulcher and started raking gravel.

Its a bit less of a free fall going down this path now, and starting to look a little tidier down the back

In the hothouse, one of the smallest broccoli plants is actually showing a tiny broccoli starting!

These are looking healthy, but they could still turn out to be cabbages…

Its so nice to look back after a day outside and see things looking markedly better!

Time for a snuggle down in bed with a good book!

Hope your day was great!

Cheers
