Life is moving along as it does. Not a huge amount changes. Just the endless cycle
Of chores, work, crafting and. A Little socialising
But the exciting news is we are FINALLY getting access to this tank water for watering the veggies
Here you can see where the trench was dug for the pipe to be laid It’s quite a distance from the tank
To make sure it was working grandpa and Ana sat and watch some water flowing into the dam
That got boring so Ana decided she Needed to harvest some tomatoes
Today the final part of the job. Installing the pipes
And putting in taps
One on this side so we can get water to the chickens and orchard easily
The tap in the backyard. Central to all the food growing areas
I’ll no longer worry about watering. Not about paying higher water bills or when, eventually, we are back in drought and have water restrictions
I’ll at least be able to grow food
What I’m processing today.
The weather has cooled slightly

And in the early mornings you can feel a change.
Autumn is definitely on its way.
our grands are like yours picking the grape tomatoes straight from the garden like candy!
ReplyDeleteMore go into the mouth than the bowl lol but I love it
DeleteI love the action shots of Ana.
ReplyDeleteI took a video of her coming back for her mummy. I titled it. Coming home after a big day in the fields lol she looked exhausted
DeleteThat's a lovely photo of your little gardener out there picking tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThe tank looks huge. You'll be picking and preserving endlessly!
The tank is huge. I just hope we keep getting rain to fill it
DeleteI found your blog and have spent a lovely time reading back, so lovely to hear about your life.. We have visited Australia twice and I have 100s of cousins there around Geelong, We loved Melbourne, we won't ever visit again, too old now and too far so I love to read blogs of Aussies.. take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you continue to enjoy the posts.
DeleteNo more watering worries is great!
ReplyDeleteIt’s fantastic. Will make growing food cheaper which is great
DeletePS In your photograph of your granddaughter picking tomatoes, you have the back end of your dog, he/she is like ours, who we said good bye to last sept. A litle cockapoo, just the same grey white colour as yours. We miss her dreadfully she was 14 1/2 years. Such a little love.
