Hello & Happy Weekend to you all!
The last couple of days here have been reasonably nice (you know – the wind stopped as well as the rain! Bonus!)
Jeff got out and made our yard look a lot less scruffy – its amazing how quickly the grass (and weeds) are growing right now
Having all the gates open during this process means that the girls get to go a little further afield around the property and they love a day out.
Amazingly I have just noticed these –
I don’t know if they will ripen, so I covered them in a clear plastic container to hopefully give them some shelter from the cold. We didn’t get so many strawberries last season, because “The Chickenator” got in and pretty much spent a happy hour or two digging them up and they never recovered in time for the season.
Then there are some tragic things in the garden… like the death of my tomatoes-
And moulting chickens
Pip doing a boundary inspection
Mostly the cat and chickens pretend to ignore each other

Hands Across The Sand
Today, worldwide, people joined hands on beaches in a bid to say we want cleaner greener energy.
BP want to drill for oil in the Bass Strait – the body of water that separates mainland Australia from Tasmania.
They are still cleaning up their appalling mess made in the Gulf of Mexico six years ago! Billions of dollars!!
Those beautiful beach photos that I share here with you? If there was an oil spill in the Bass Strait it would be devastating for us, marine life and bird life. We have so many more options these days – we don’t need to risk it.
My cousin and I debated the ethics of souveniring this placard… but of course did the right thing at the end of the day and returned it. (We were both thinking how great it would look in the back window of the car! 😀 ) (Mind you the Wilderness Society did give us some great stickers, so we were content with those)
Fiona continued being an awesome cousin by shouting me a cup of hot chocolate down at Boat Harbour Beach. Bliss.
Hope your weekends are brilliant!
Cheers
