Looking up

Life has been progressing slowly down under and especially here in Victoria 

We have endured one of the longest and harshest lock downs in the world. But 

It’s worked. 

Even though we have whined and hated it. 

We have missed our families and friends 

Our social life and our pastimes 

But we have crushed the curve and we have had no new cases or deaths for a week now 

So today. The sun is shining 

The birds are singing 

The sound of lawn mowers permeate the air

And life is definitely looking up  for us 

Our state is reunited and there will be no restrictions as to how far we can travel to see our loved ones from midnight tonight 

A great day 

Meanwhile I have been trying to keep busy 

I’ve set up a worm farm under my trees near the veggie patch 

I hope to at least be able to use the worm wee tea on the gardens regularly 

I’ve also hung up, finally! My native bee hotel 

Aussie bees, some species anyway, live solitary lives and they love to live in small holes 

Having planted lots of natives and lots of exotic flowers I’m hoping some native bees and good bugs move in 

If nothing else it looks pretty there. So I’m going to get me some more to hang around 

We lost two trees due to mild flooding. 

This is a wet patch during the normal winter. But this year we had lots and lots of rain 

My swim buddy and neighbour Claire replaced the trees 

She had given me the original ones 

She loves to plant seeds and watch them grow 

So fingers crossed these will take off 

Can’t remember what they are called but they do drink lots of water once they are established and grow. So hopefully by the next 

Wet winter they will be fine and help to drain the excess water away 

Hope your all well and happy 

Stay safe

See ya xxx
