A beautiful day

Yesterday we harvested our first ever crop of garlic and white onions.

I made a couple of onion and garlic braids, they aren't very big but I've always seen these hanging in kitchens and have always wanted to try to make one.

Then the girls played dress-ups.

We set up and decorated the xmas tree.

It was so hot yesterday (and it is again today) so we went for a swim at the river.

When we got home we sat in the shade on the cubby house verandah and picked some pretty flowers from the gardens

...another beautiful day...

Kids and Chooks

At the moment we have an abundance of eggs and zucchinis. So zucchini slice is on the menu again. I love summer veggies.

Zucchini Slice
Grate a couple of large zucchinis




Pick the first couple of onions from the garden. (which is exciting because it's the first time we have grown onions and they are so sweet!!!)
Finely chop onions and about 4 cloves of garlic.


Add 1/2 a dozen eggs and season with salt and pepper.
Cook in pie dish until golden on top.
It's pretty simple but is so yum.

And because I love chooks (chickens) not just for their yummy yellow eggs, but also because they are amusing animals to observe and they make great pets, here are a couple of photos.
