Once again, we are getting sunny crisp days and outdoor jobs are the preferred option. I have been weeding the garlic and mulching down the Bok and Pac Choi. We are getting enough snow peas to eat and today I harvested the butternut pumpkins. There are ripe ruby grapefruit too.
Edd is at last getting time to work on the paddocks. He has got a large rake working behind the tractor and has started to spread the stuff cleaned out from the goat shed down the old vineyard paddock where we hope the nutrients will improve the soil. We agreed to do the work on the buildings and house site before we did the broader acre work, so Edd has been patient for a long time.
The weekend was busy. Al came up with his two youngest kids on Friday and visited us when he had finished his work in Healesville. I was able to give Al the two jumpers I have knitted for the boys. I got a lot of knitting done last week because I caught a virus and did not feel up to doing much else.
Pip is now out of hospital but is not allowed to pick the baby up or anything else heavy and is not allowed to drive yet. We just wished they lived closer so we could be of some help. Bo is working full time so she can’t help either. We saw her on Sunday when she did the morning chores and brought their puppy, Billie, over to play with her sister Says. The puppies row round together and get plenty of fun exercise.
Josh is always around and Ti’s mother-in -law was here taking care of the 2 small kids while Ma and Ti cleaned out their rental house. They are working hard so that it is judged good enough for them to get their bond money back. The farm seems to be filling up with people again, which is good.
