Right now its raining – a lot.
Its really lovely to be inside with the fire going feeling all cosy with the sound of the rain on the roof!
I put my domestic hat on today and did a good number of boring inside tasks.
I managed to go through most of the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen and found a lot of items that I never use to put out of the house and into the upcoming garage sale pile.
We don’t get a lot of autumn colours around here – the bulk of our trees are evergreen. Its really nice when I do find some colours!
Still getting the odd strawberry appearing. Sometimes I am lucky to find one before something else takes a bite out of it!
The hothouse chillies are not showing signs of slowing down!
I planted my passionfruit into the corner of the hothouse. I am not sure its the right thing to do but since I had no luck with them outside, I figured I would see if I could pamper one enough to get some fruit.
So incredibly late in the season – but this self seeded jam melon has four little melons on it! I am just leaving it alone to see what happens.
The lovely protea still puts out a flower or two!
Hope your day has been peaceful.
Cheers
Hello!
Couple of Texas residents here, thinking a trip to New Zealand and a side to Tasmania would be great! I’ve been an avid reader of your blog since discovering it through Mavis (blog).
Still in the thinking process of planning a trip but seriously interested in a stay with y’all (Texas speak).
My husband and I are travelers, workers, scuba divers, gardeners and have been many places but would love some input from you on when to visit etc. Just wanting to start a conversation at this point. Yeah, we’re workers, gardening, plot clearing, fence building, etc., we’re cool with it.
Hope to hear from you!
Oh how exciting! (haha – I have been practicing my ‘y’all’ but I think with my accent it might sound funny!)
Time-wise I have always found the most steady nice weather to be February-March. Daylight savings is still on and the days are naturally longer anyway. Plus there is plenty of good food available at that time too. Earlier in summer its really pot luck on the weather. We have been known to have a fire going in January which is the heart of summer here!!!
I’ll send you an email so we can keep in touch! Would love to help plan – would be so exciting to see “A Blog Reader” in person here in Tassie!!
