Nurturing our home

It's lovely what the sun and warmth can do for the soul.
We've been very busy around home today...
I popped more seedlings into the garden, so feeling like things are coming along well and used my new very basic gardening/weeding tool that I love that hooks underneath all those strong rooted weeds such as creeping buttercup that take over my garden beds (and only cost me $4.50).

I have decluttered my kitchen and laundry again and have a pile to donate as well as rearranged things to see if they work better.

Dog had a bath

Simon mowed our middle lawn (where the kids play area is) and I pushmowed the front lawn where the herb garden/washing line are (I call it exercise).

Area rugs had a good shake out

Chicken tractor got moved

Simon removed some ugly plastic netting that was attached to our deck railing from the previous owners (8yrs ago!).

I have purchased some paint to do over my laundry. I *may* share photos when it's done depending on whether the combination is tasteful or garish. At least I can shut it away from anyone else seeing it if it's not a good look!

Well, this is pretty much the sum of my winter garden. I had several more cauli's in there but they started going to seed so I missed the opportunity. I harvested this wee one before it did the same. It's only about 12cm across. Same with the cabbage. Silverbeets/ruby chards are doing ok atm, so we will be eating more of them in the weeks to come.
