This morning's Harvest

 

We bought some mushroom compost for the veggie garden a couple of weeks ago.

 

And, it certainly has it's fringe benefits.

 

Yummo - growing a few mushies before adding the compost to the garden. This bucket, about 4 days growth, weighed 2 kilos.

Can you guess who is having mushies on toast for lunch!

A Successful Purchase!

 
Posted by Picasa


Look what we bought at the garage sales last weekend.
A very successful purchase at $5 I must say.
The only problem is that Miss Bailey - Bottomly Potts covered in spots likes it too even tho she only just fits in it!
I have had to stack stuff on it when not in use so it doesn't become a doggie bed. She has been hunted back to HER beanbag. I'm sure that her original owners must have let her sleep on various lounges and beds etc.
Anyhow Zara loves her new lounge - just right for reading Hairy Maclary and Slinky Malinki on! They are her current favourites.
I must tell you this weeks tale.
Firstly we are learning to wee on the potty which is really cute - flushing the toilet is the BEST fun.
We picked some geraniums in the garden and Mardie said - "come on we'll go inside and put them in some water."
So off I go to get a vase and when I came back out to the courtyard, here is missy dunking them in the dogs water bucket.
Well she WAS putting the in water wasn't she? She is just TOO cute.

Budding Soccer star

 


Here's Harry's big brother Nick playing soccer at Old Bar last Saturday.
He was all over the field isn't he ?
He scored a goal on Sunday but I wasn't there with the camera.
Well done Nick!

This is what I call WET ....

My daughter Lee and I have just returned from a weekend in Taree with son Brad and his family. It was great to catch up with them all especially grandson Harry. He is growing into a big boy, full of life and mischief. He is a full time job for his Mum and Dad and big brothers. He is off like a flash when he finds a door open so the next project for Brad is to get a fence up in the backyard. Here is Harry in the bath last night. Definitely very WET. This is the first of the WET postings for the month.
