Saturday update

Here are the gardens after to pulled out what was finished producing and planting all my seedlings 
I even and to put some in pots I had so much and I gave some away to Leanne's dad. There was so much 
The boys have finished the bones of the outdoor room. Next week they will come back and either do the roof or the fencing round. I'm not sure but slowly it's getting done 
I feed all the plants I pulled out to the chickens. They loved it. But they were full and there is still some left. I'm sure they will get through it in a few days lol 
And today I got these for th grandbaby. I couldn't resist.  Are they not so very cute  
I also manage to do another row on th shawl. So I had a very productive day. Very soon I will be putting myself to bed. I really need a sleep in. Hopefully I'll get one tomorrow. 
See ya xxx

The boys are back and things are taking shape 
And I hope to keep working on this at some point. 
Throw in a visit from a friend some washing and a BBQ dinner and our Saturday is looking kinda full. 
I hope I hVe the energy to get through it all lol

Then and now

Another layer of bitumen will be layed once the whole street is done. But boy oh boy what a difference. 27 years of dirt roads have gone and now keep the car clean is going to be so much easier 
See ya

New beginnings

The Equinox has come and new life begins 
Some more babies. First year this tree has been in.  Lost my other almond when I got really sick. So very happy girl we now have this one

And finally s new bitumen road. Soon all the road works will be over and peace will descend again to our little community. 
But most of all with the birth of our first grand baby in a few months a new chapter will begin in our lives. The maid will become the mother and the mother will become the crone. 
And  so very excited about that. Loving this spring. 
See ya

Spring Equinox

The wheel turns and the days will get longer. The darkness is receding. 
It feels likes it's been such a long cold winter this year. I'm looking forward to the summer for the first time in a long time. My bones need thawing. Just remind me of this when I start to whine about the heat lol 
Have a blessed day. To our friends in the north. Blessed mabon. Enjoy the retreat into yourselves time to rest and rejuvenate 
See ya

Friday funnies

I can't believe how quick the weeks are flying by. This week we have had another death in the family. My fathers brother so a funeral for Monday. 
The weather turned cold and wet so I've been battling the pain but the weekend is looking to be nice so hopefully I'll get a little relief. 
Baby girl had her twenty weeks scans and grand baby girl is perfect. 
So we have had a week of ups and downs. 
So here are some pics I got from a post called someone forgot something. 
I really could relate to these this week lol 
Have a good one 
See ya

A wonderful day

This morning we had a sleep in and boy was it wonderful. Then we went out for a brunch and visited garden world. I'm after some bougainvillea. But apparently it's still too early for them. So home went. 
On the way we did some grocery shopping and some wine shopping and then stopped off at a nursery right near our home. Now you know. You always mean to go but you just never do right!
Well. We went in to see what they and and walked out with this pot and this Vulcan magnolia 
Love magnolias and have always wanted one 
Not the cheapest of purchases but how good does it look. And it matches the smaller pots I have in th new pergola area. Perfect 
Now this is what my afternoon will consist of. Hubby will join me as soon as he has finished doing whatever it is he is doing and we will just relax and enjoy this magnificent weather. 
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday 
See ya

Finally done

Remember those garden beds from Aldi? Well finally put them together and planted them out. Because they were going on a concrete slab we also used a layer of rock to help drainage 
Hubby putting them together wasn't as hard as I thought. 
Some pots I had. I got hubby to screw them into the retaining board. So I have more room for more pots 
So I planted all these into the two new beds. So soon I hope they a riot of colour 
So slowly an ugly concrete slab will be transformed into something Beautiful. I hope 
Well it's a start 
How's your weekend going?
See ya

Roadworks update

One driveway is concreted and the shoulders done. They will backfill and then do the road. But before then they will do our other driveway. If your not lucky enough to have two driveways they do half at a time. Apparently we cannot drive on them for ten days. 
Hopefully they will finish soon and life can get back to normal 
See ya
