Getting my mojo back

Today I found some wonderful art for the backyard fences 

I think this wall is done now. It really needed something in the  middle.

 

This dragonfly is perfect I think for in here. It blends in well and when we play I spy with melody, when she is a little older, 

This one will be hard to find 

 

Two more dragonflies. I love them! 

And I did it all myslef. I used power tools and I had to find the right size screws for the job 

Pretty chuffed. Who needs men lol 

 

I also bought these fairies. They are solar and their wings will light up at night. Their solar panels are on the back so I'm not sure where they 

Will go. I've got them here charging for now. I'm sure I'll find somewhere for them 

So I've been busy today pottering around. Did a little more shopping for hubby's Christmas presents and as we have a baby coming soon 

Our wonderful worker terry and his partner are expecting their second child any day now, I went out baby shopping too 

It's a wonderful time here right now 

Hope your having a wonderful time too

The things we do

This is just one of the things we do 

When we have an on the move baby in the house 

Now I don't have to worry about melody getting into cat food, water or poop!

Getting summer ready

Although the hot weather really hadn't started yet. You can see it's really dry here 

Getting water to the stock is hard work. But now the new back fence is done and the door is better positioned we have put a bathtub close so I can at least keep one full constantly 

 

 

View from the old permaculture area. With me being sick all these last years  it's all gone. 

Breaks my heart really 

But you can see the back hose reaches easily. So it's not hard to fill the tub 

 

And the view from the outdoor covered area 

I can see instantly if they have water 

Hopefully we get rain occasionally during the summer months

Last of the babies. ?

The last two babies are out. This one was out of its nest a few days ago. A pretty green

 

And this one came out today. 

The first three babies were from the same nest. But this one from another. 

It's mother had now gone in to look after the eggs if the third nest. It's mummy has given up on them 

So who knows. Maybe more.

First day of summer

Summer is here so I thought I'd show you what's happening in the garden 

We have baby tomatoes 

 

And some corn 

 

It's not very high. Not sure what breed these are. We were given seedlings from a friend. So just grateful and we will eat whatever grows 

 

The berries were neglected and we totally forgot to cut them back. But they still have produced some berries. Yummy 

 

The garlic almost ready to harvest. I planted in the shortest day of the year. Will harvest on the longest 

 

Over the weekend we planted some cucumber seedlings 

 

The oregano is going strong. Will harvest some over the weekend and start drying for winter use 

 

This is my wishing well. With the only rose that survived in the hanging baskets out front. The possums ate them. This was right in the middle. I'd say they couldn't reach it 

 

My climber had come back after frost killed it over winter and the roses are still full of flowers 

 

And my flower corner is coming along. Again frost killed some plants. So I'll need to replant some pots 

So all is well here. A long hot summer is predicted. I'll be mulching and keeping the water up to these 

What's happening in your part of the world?

See ya 

 

A little bit of Christmas

 

This is my Christmas decorating  almost done for this year 

I bought myself an optic fibre tree and if you look closely you will see the lights as the end of the branches 

They change colours so I don't need any decorations on it 

With two cats and a very active baby I'm thinking this is the best option 

I have the Christmas shopping almost done 

Don't like the crowds so I like to get it all done and dusted well before Christmas 

I have a wreath on my door and some indoor lights and that's about it. 

For those that know me. This is a lot 

I really am a Scrooge at Christmas. I not into all the commercialism and the frenectic hype 

I just like it for the kids, and the getting together with the ones that matter 

So Christmas will be a less hectic affair this year. Christmas Day is at my sister in laws 

What are your plans?  Are you getting organised?

The boys are back

The boys were dropped off today 

Don't they look handsome after their relaxing holiday away at the beauty spa lol 

 

And here is their fleece 

I have a friend who knows how to spin. So I'm hoping she will be able to teach me and another friend of ours how to do it 

There is lots here to practice on 

Exciting isn't it 

See ya xxx
