Autumn is behaving in a very normal way. Today the weather is glorious. When the sun came up after a cold night the air was crisp and clean. It is just the right temperature to enjoy getting the outdoor work done. This week Edd has slashed the old hay paddock and begun mending tyres on things like the mower trailer and cement mixer.
The nets I have put in the vegetable garden seem to be obstructing pest ravages and we have a good crop of silver beet seedling sprouting. I think even the lettuce might be coming up and the capsicums and egg plants are in full swing. I am wondering if there is time left to grow snow peas. We have a good crop of pumpkins of various types but the beans are nowhere near up to our usual standard.
Easter is at the end of April this year and the family is starting to plan an equinox and birthday party. Lots of Al’s kids were born in this month. Most are now of an age for parties of friends so we just do one party for family and gift giving. Al invited us for the kids at home parties but he lives too far away for this to be a practical option.
Bo has had a hard week with her mother-in-law in hospital and her father-in-law not really able to cope on his own. Things are not looking good for them but they do live in a retirement village where they can get help and entertainment. Some of these places are pretty money grabbing but they place where they are seems OK, so we hope they can get all the help they need.
Edd and I would hate to be in that sort of place. It is so good here with clear views to the horizon and surrounded by the beauty of nature.
