Home-grown Produce

I was very proud today as I pulled up and tied up my garlic and onions from the garden. The veggie patch is feeding us well this season.

More Painting

It's always dangerous when I have a pot of paint and brush in my hand. Today, as well as clearing the garden I decided to paint the bird house. Looks like new now!

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone we know and love a very happy New Year and may 2010 bring you all that you desire in life.

Morning Tea

To celebrate the New Year, our dog walking group, minus a couple of people, met up for morning tea and yummy food.

Wishing everyone all that they desire in 2010.

Outdoor Painting

The job for today was to clear the entrance at the bottom of the drive and paint the very sad looking fence a bright, light, white. Another thing ticked off the list.


And John came home from work to find a large bough broken from the main tree in our garden so he needed to get the chainsaw and chipper out to do some clearing up.

Garden Development

As John had 4 days off over Christmas, we decided to spend one of the days in the garden. John rebuilt the steps going up to our Veggie patch and I cleared and chipped half the bank at the top leading to the steps. Good work done & another area of the garden that now looks neat and tidy.

Yehaw!

Boxing day and in true New Zealand style we headed on down to the Rodeo packed with a full picnic basket full of yesterdays leftovers, yum. Friend Jo joined us to help make a dent in the food!








It was another glorious day and great fun watching the cowboys do their stuff. The highlight was a big bugger of a bull jumping the fence and running thru all us spectators before it was wrestled to the ground by about 20 cowboys in their stetsons. Ride 'em cowboys!
