WooHooo its wet!!!!!

Rain, Rain and more Rain.......had about 2 inches over the weekend. Woohoooooo!!!!!

Definitely worth bogging home in the high heels......traipsing around feeding stock in the mud and getting totally soaked........

A little disappointing the open garden day was postponed but dont believe for a minute they are concerned. The wet weather is worth it.


The rain has been perfect for the vege patch. I will be planting tomatoes by the weeks end.

Unfortunately it has rushed the last of the broccoli to seed so they will have to go......but still pulling snow peas, brussel sprouts and I cant believe the size of the cauliflowers.

Looking forward to the new season zuchini. Have always found it hard to keep up with picking the zuchini but this year I am going to try making pickles........
Cheers

What a Welcome...Thank you

Cant believe so many people have taken the time to say hi in just a few days......

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and thank you Chookyblue for the introduction.

This is starting to be great fun and I hope to reply to you all in time.


This weekend is a busy one with preparing cattle for market, a Debutante Ball to attend and the open garden day at Cryon..........might even get to meet in person if you are there too. Hope so. Cheers for now

Spring

What a glorious day it is today.........great sun, nice breeze, making pie and admiring the meagre efforts towards the borderlicious challenge........
Centre - Big Sister Little Sister Block, Border 1 - Stars.......
Only 5 more borders to go. Not really sure it was a good idea to use the quilt as you go method but too late now.
Next border is Flying Geese. This is going to be one busy quilt.
