weekending

Morning sunshine on wind turbines 


Bubbly sourdough.


Fresh from the oven.


And sliced.


Autumn bouquet.


Chocolate cake in the making


Laundry day




Garden pickings ~ tomatoes, capsicum, baby spinach and beans.


Saving seeds. These ones are Queensland blue pumpkin.


Eggs from our girls.


Love toasting my bread this way.


Comfort food.


Nice hot thick pumpkin vegetable soup.


Basil, lemon thyme and oregano inside drying by the fire.


Prep work...


For green tomato pickles.


Low carb chocolate cake for Tania.


Homemade soy yoghurt...



There are new power poles going up out back. They are huge and dwarf the smaller stobie pole and crane.


I made healthy crackers.







I accidentally broke of a piece of the climbing spinach, so I popped into some water and much to my delight this happened. Now I will be able to grow another plant.



I patiently stripped the leaves from the stems of the lemon thyme.


Lovely day at my parents today. Everything is turning green after a rain.

How did you spend your weekend?

rainy day in pictures












 

 
 
 









 


 

As you can guess today has been wet. Again!

Another 20mm {80points} and a very cold 14C {57.2F}. The rain has been wonderful! There may be a little more tomorrow. Every plant has been refreshed after a nice good drenching over the past six days, including the weeds! All up we have had 46.5mm {186points, nearly 2 inches}.

Most of today was spent inside apart from sorting out some thyme to dry, and planting the tiny beetroot seedlings in between showers. My grand babies spent the afternoon playing and eating, and tonight the fire has been lit for the first time this year.

I do hope you have had some of this beautiful rain.
