It's Raining!!!

I just went to go out and water my seedlings when I realized it was a fine mist

coming from the sky, but now it is raining steadily..

Now I have some extra time on my hands that I don't have to water.

I have never been one to sow my own seeds as when ever I do they never come up.

Instead I tend to buy seedlings, I have been saving all my trays though and am

now having a go at sowing my own.

Good timing to with the cows eating the last lot!!!!!

I have got beans ,cauliflower and broccoli.

In the flower department foxgloves and hollyhocks.

I have put them all out in the rain

and they seem to be doing O.K. I think for me this is the trick

to sow into containers first then plant them out as seedlings.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the

Community Kidz

Art Exhibition.

If you live in Toowoomba I would encourage you to go and have a look.

It is open this afternoon from 3.30 - 7p.m.

All funds go the Toowoomba Base Hospital Children's Ward....

It is in Hume Street at Christian Outreach Collage.

Just look for the white marque.

Here is Robbie with his 2 art works. The top one was a joint effort with 2 of his mates

so we know there will be 3 people bidding for that piece.

Below is his own work, doesn't he look proud of it.

Also yesterday saw us get Alanah a car. This is a early B/day pres for her.

As she hasn't driven a manual before please remember me in your prayers.

I know all the Mum's that have been through driving with

hormonal 16 year old girls will be praying...lol.

This is my fourth child that is learning to drive

boy I must be getting old!!!!

And NO it doesn't get any easier...

Now the Learner drivers in Queensland must do 100 hours of driving before

they can get their licence. This means that Alanah will have to drive

nearly all the time.

That is why I wanted a car with 4 doors and plenty of school bag room.

As this will be our main car for the next 12mths.

She is certainly happy with it, it will be

a good little first car for her..

It's still raining which is good as it might settle in

for the day. I'm of to put the slow cooker on as it

is soccer prac this afternoon, not that I think it will be on with wet ovals

but it is cool and wet so good stew weather I think....

Blessings to all
