A Sunny Day....


The coolness of winter is slowly passing, and Spring is in the air.


See the sun coming in and it is only 7:15, through Winter it is well past 8 before the sun comes inside.
This morning is glorious after the rain last night..
Lets put our boots on and go for a walk...


Every thing looks so fresh, we are in real need of rain as the dams are empty and the tanks are low.
Having the rain and warmth has put me in good mood...lol


The girls are waiting at the gate to be feed and they too are scratching around after the rain.


We rescued some chooks from being killed on the week end...These chickens only crime- There eggs are too big and Woolies doesn't want them....
Sad but true, so they are enjoying scratching about and learning to be birds...

They are slightly looked down upon by the Heritage chooks but I am sure they will all start to get on soon....


The pond is nice and full and doing its job of catching the water.


The Jasmine is all out in full bloom so it is even staring to smell like Spring...


Enjoy your week and I hope for those of you that have had a colder winter are starting to get a little Spring in the air..

Thank you for your lovely comments ladies last blog and not forgetting me.....

Blessings

Remember Me.....





If anyone even still reads my blog HELLO and thank you...
Things have been very quiet here on my little blog lately, I do find in winter there is just not enough hours in the day to fit all in all I need to do.


My blog isn't the only thing I haven't spent any time on...
My garden is suffering as well, it is so dry and over grown.

Why? I hear you ask.
I don't know! time just seems to slip away.


Maybe I'm just getting old but I have really felt the cold this year and trying to keep warm I have stayed inside a lot....
I have been crocheting lots though and my new found love is weaving.Loving weaving so much such a slow calming craft.



I am really enjoying weaving and am now on the look out for a bigger loom, so I can do some bigger pieces...

I have also got myself a spinning wheel, this is one of those crafts I have wanted to do for years.


I am looking forward to Spring when we get the sheep sheared and I will be able to spin our own wool.
I have yet to learn though.
My Mum is going to teach me as she is a spinner but the parents are away until September, so until then I will continue to weave.


Today though I am heading out to the sunshine and getting some long over due gardening done....

Enjoy your day...
Blessings
