Life in Port Augusta...

I wanted to share this promotional video with you all of the place where we live.

Thank you Therese for sharing this link.

I also found this You Tube clip using a song called "Life in Port Augusta" sung by Steve Grace.

There are lots of train pictures...

Port Augusta was once a thriving railway town. The railways are still an important part of the town today, although on a smaller scale.

My hubby is a driver of the big freight trains...a job he really enjoys :)

Show us your Cosy

I decided to have a little fun and join in with Suzanne at Enchanted Moments

She would like to see our cosies!

So here are mine...

This one I use the most, I knitted it up last Christmas using some scrap wool....

And this little vintage beauty belonged to my grandmother...

Do you use a cosy?

Maybe you would like to share with us too...

How do you hang the washing?

These past two weeks since my surgery hubby has been doing the washing...when I went outside this morning I just had to go back and grab the camera!

This is how hubby hung out my blouse lol!

The Op Shop

Another op shop visit last week yielded some more goodies.

A pretty blue chenille bedspread,

an EasiYo at last...

I have been trying to get hold of one of these for a while, so I can make my own natural yogurt.

Some Pyrex dishes I hope to use for pies,

and a cute little jug...

Have a great day everyone :)

A Busy Weekend

Apricot blossom...

Nectarine blossom...

We got busy yesterday and planted some seedlings in the veggie garden.

Cauliflower...

Broccoli

Zucchini

Planted some lettuces in containers. I think the heat here in summer will be too harsh for these to be out in the full sun of the veggie garden. I have also planted some seeds of nasturtiums, corn and two types of cucumber, apple and Greek.

This is where our garden is going to be extended.

The before photo...

We came up with the idea to pull the large salt bushes out with a chain hooked up to the 4wd.

Out they came...

Bit by bit...

With help from Millie...

Until most of it was gone...

Our citrus trees got a pruning by hubby this morning as the branches were touching the ground and the ants were venturing up, and we dont want them to spread white scale.

This is the fruit on the branches that were cut off...

Any ideas to use the grapefruit up?

Hope you are having the lovely weather we are.

Here it is 24C today and hotting up to 29C by Friday...
