Old news and New news!!

Old News...

Had a lovely start to the week. An amazing Spring day...23 degrees...

Friends from Cygnet CWA asked if they could hold their Yarn Bombing morning in the shop while their premises are still undergoing renovations..

Sandra brought us some lovely daffs to say thanks..

John and I got on with orders etc while they worked chatted and laughed...really delightful.

 Peter our Scout leader did the rounds of the street promoting the Scout Garage sale

I got to work labelling and boxing up the Rose Cream

My gorgeous boys...

New news....

The garage sale was a big success...John and Tom loaded up the car with leftover books and we hope to sell them out the front of the shop.

With the slightly more stable weather...
Our dam work continues.
The large dam wall is repaired, a duck hole is dug in the far paddock in a particularly boggy spot...

 Duck hole is filling well from ground seepage..

 We now have a great turning /parking bay made out of mudstone dug out of another dam above the large dam...again a very boggy area..

The cement rendering begins...toning down the hebel white
There will be another coat with final colour...  Oyster Linen..

 Looking back to house from duck hole

 Erosion in house paddock being repaired..
A Swale has been dug along the top of the hill to divert water and hopefully reduce erosion impact.

 The duck hole in distance and new dam in foreground..the water level rises a little each day

I am keeping busy with my CWA Yarn Bombing project...the bunting triangles look great.

 Snowy...get amongst them!! Thanks to John..

I have a huge turn out for 'In Stitches ' this month...many of us are working on Yarn bomb projects

Sandra has joined some of my bunting triangles to put on display

Lisa  brings me the first Waratah from her garden...beautiful..

The mornings are just stunning...and with daylight saving I hope to get out in the evenings too..

We are working hard to smarten up the Community Garden as Costa from Gardening australia is visiting next Sunday. Sadly the new pub owners have reclaimed alot of the garden ...which technically they own..but the Community Gardeners have been looking after for the past 15 years..

Has caused some angst...but we have retained a smaller area that will no doubt be more managable.

Lots happening this week.
Tom is in town staying with Jark and Narns..a couple of nights..(school hols)
I will be attending "Lift the Lid" on Wednesday night...a workshop/evening to discuss Mental Health.
Saturday/Sunday there is a book fair up at St Marks...
Sunday is Community Garden Costa visit...

All go...
