Market Day

We went up to the Crystal Waters Market today. It's such a nice spot.

While P and I had a Chai...

Tui got stuck into the organic pumpkin sourdough bread...

It's a lovely soft for the kids to hang out, with a couple of play areas...

...under big shady trees...

and a trampoline that is dug into the ground.

P bought me this book...do you think that means he thinks I'm a witch?

and I bought some yummy raw honey.

This afternoon we have been in the garden picking three kinds of lettuce, rocket, mint, parsley, radishes, beetroot, sweet corn, zuchinis, brown onions and three types of tomatoes.

The first eggplant will be ready by tomorrow and the pumpkins are getting huge. I love the abundance in the garden at this time of year. Now I'm off to make some yummy dinner out of all that fresh goodness!

Gone to the dogs

After getting home from our camping trip I only stayed here for one night and then went to stay at my parents house while they were away 'galivanting about the country side'. I was official Dog-sitter and cat sitter for their lovely animals.

The Lovely Lab...

My parents live really close to a river. It's so close in fact that you can see it from the back door!

The two boys enjoyed fishing off the jetty. Didn't have much luck and I was kind of glad as it was up to me to kill and gut the fish if they caught any...and after being a vegetarian for 16 years it was a task I wasn't looking forward to.

It was good to get home though. I think it's the longest I've been away since we moved to Rainbow Love Farm.

Nice to see my own puppy, hanging out with Buddah here!

And the veggie garden, my how things grow when you aren't looking! Mr T was excited to find his sweet corn was 'taller-than-daddy' and some of the corns were ready for eating. This one didn't even make it as far as the kitchen.

There ain't nothing as sweet as homegrown corn!
