More From The Yard

We are on a roll, clearly!
Such beautiful days recently, but with the clear skies come icy nights!
Jeff got out and trimmed back the lawn… it was getting a bit jungle-like.

The fire really did a great job overnight! Still warm and smoking that afternoon though! So I kicked all the big logs in closer and added more small stuff… it caught on again pretty smartly – no need for matches

Of course Miss Flea had to jump up on the boards next to me to check out what was happening!

Veggie patch leftovers!

I am glad a lot of the plots are raised beds etc… easy to pick a spot and work just there (and try to ignore the rest)

Poor lebanese zucchinis…
I didn’t really use many. I usually cook zucchinis with tomatoes and because the tomatoes took an eon to ripen… these zucchinis will just be compost.
This type doesn’t keep well either. I will go back to the blackjack or similar. Its more convenient when they keep longer after being picked.

I got a reasonable way in to the clearing but it wasn’t actually on my to do list today, and to finish it properly is going to take a while with all the twitch.

This was the pavlova I took to the party at Sharons last night. Yum.
I have been pretty busy today so I didn’t sit to post process the party photos… but here is another fire works photo because they are pretty…

Cousin Leonie came over this morning and we sorted out our packs and gear for our (hopeful) hike.
I still have to call parks in the morning to see if I can reserve places – due to covid, you need to register for all multi day hikes to make sure there aren’t too many people on the track.
I would be surprised if people were stampeding out mid week at the start of winter but…

If plans come good, then we are looking to drive to Sheffield tomorrow (Monday) and stay at some accommodation there which is a good deal closer than starting from here… I think its close to a 3 hour drive but can’t remember

The weather isn’t forecast to be that fantastic… so will make choices on the fly about whether to stay one or two nights.
Shame since last time when Jeff and I went we didn’t see the main sights because of the weather and little visibility!

But… its all beautiful and it will be nice to get away… fingers crossed!

Hope your weekend was fantastic!
Cheers!
