AHHHHH SUNSHINE!

Time to plant some seeds. Pots were made this morning with 2 willing helpers (The other one slept).

For my plant markers, I recycle ice-cream container lids by cutting them up and writing on them.

Into the hot-house they go.

This morning's pickings from the patch. As you can see there aren't many peas, Sophie helped pick them and more went into her mouth than in the basket.

2 boys at work (the other one slept). Does being a 13 yo old boy mean you just sleep all day?

Sophie made some yummy morning tea....

and the chooks were perfectly happy eating up all of the weeds I threw in.

How's your day? I hope it's as warm and sunny as ours. I'm off to put some more clothes on the line in the sunshine :)

SOMETHING PRETTY AND FUNCTIONAL


I bought this iron screen with planters to block off the view we have right into our neighbour's dining room. We had been wondering what to put up and were thinking trellis but I'm so glad I saw a picture of this in the junk mail.

I bought 3 plants today, the other 3 will have to wait until next week, the plants are going to look so good when they grow down the pots. I love looking out onto our verandah now and I don't have to feel like I'm spying on the neighbours.
