garden harvest

I love finding things in the garden! This kind of natural foods just tastes better when you pick it yourself! We've been tidying up the garden ready for Autumn and we gathered some plums & were pleasantly surprised to find green gage plums and wild blackberries too! Jase also picked some crab apples which may eventually become a jelly! The neighbouts quinces are growing nicely too & we will ask them if they are happy to share some again this year - I love quince paste with blue cheese! Another rhubarb cutting is in store too - rhubarb shortcake - yum! Posted by Picasa

Yum fresh fruit from the garden.
We have a rhubarb plant (rhubarb garden!) too - I did have a vege garden but Ken decided to extend the house (verandah/ outside 'room') over my carefully tended garden, and the only plant he thought worth moving was the rhubarb!!

Isn't that photo just great? We have tomatos, letttuces, spinach, heaps of herbs, lemons and plums in our back yeard at present and that's it. I was hoping to get Elliot to eat more fresh stuff by growing them - hasn't worked - but it is lovely picking something fresh

Oh yum! That pic is making this preggy chick hungry! They look super yummy! Thanks for the comments on my layout in the latest mag. They were pics that belonged to a special friend so it was nice to do that for her.

Keep those fruit yummies coming.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

a catch up

Spent last night in Invers. We had a family dinner for dh's Nanny. We did a brief shop @ Farmers (none in the Wakatip) & went to Splash Palace this morning & BK for lunch (there's no BK here either!). Here are my 21 Challenge pages for the last three days. The hardest one was the Eleanor Roosevelt quote as I'm not sure what scares me - other than a lingering death while my children are still young, or one of them or dh being harmed in some way but even then I have a faith that gives me hope & assurance of a future. So I decided to apply this to my art or my creating - to try something new each day - even if it scares me. Day 4's quote was a goodie - I find that I make decisions all the time & this confirms that I am 'qualified' to make them. I used the pic of Katya for Day 6 as her blowing dandilion heads across the play area indicates this freedom & exploration of the world around. Watching her reminds me of the beauty & wonder al...
