Busywork



The weekend has been full of busyness. 
Hubby unpacked the camper trailer and has been sorting all the things to go in it. Downsizing the amount of tubs to pack lighter
And to make up his bed. 

Friday was very warm so I washed and dried all his blankets.  

Meanwhile I was busy making more dishcloths as I had packed some in both kitchen tubs. One for the camper trailer and one for the kids pop top van 

So these ones are for me at home 





Today he is borrowing a truck from one of our neighbours and will take the tractor and some farm gate up to stockdale. 

Our neighbour at the farm said we can park the tractor at his place to keep it safe. 

We are in the process of getting a machinery shed erected and then we can lock things up nice and safe 

Today’s harvest 
I think that may be the last of the beans. But the tomatoes are starting to ripen 



Our zucchini as always continuing to produce 
The cucumbers are doing really well 

The button squash has been a tad underwhelming but we are grateful for anything we get. And our first Aubergine or as we call it. Eggplant 

I think I’ll make a big pot of ratatouille   Have some for dinner and freeze the rest 

I’ll stay home while hubby goes to the farm. Riding in trucks is something I cannot do anymore. 
Not the smoothest of travel options  

Where ever you are stay safe from all the crazy weather the world is having right now

  1. Those dish cloths are artworks. They're lovely. Busy times around you. What's the plan after you get the equipment to the farm and the shed built? Will you be plowing for crops, or getting livestock, maybe both?

    1. Cattle for now. Buy them young and grow them out for market.
      And of course we will be spending time there relaxing

  2. Lots of things going on in your life. You're always very busy. And zucchinis which keep on giving. The garden is marvellous

    1. There are also long periods of time where nothing much happens. Usually during winter

    1. The pattern is called grandma’s favourite dishcloth. Or something like that. And it’s really simple. I’ll post it for you
