Waiting

We've been looking after Nellie the Beagle all week while her family has been holidaying in Bali. She waits all day for us to come outside and pay her some attention. She's still very playful for a dog of such mature years, although she tires a lot more quickly these days.



We decided not to wait any longer for warm dry weather and we both got out into our rain soaked garden this week. Lawns to mow, lots of weeding, cow poo to spread, and pea straw too, planting out the petunia seedlings and setting up some new herb pots filled most of the weekend.


With dam levels at just under 52% and still more rain predicted we're even going to give our tiny patch of green grass in the back garden a treatment with organic fertilizer - first time we've bothered doing this in quite a few (drought filled) years.


This rhododendron in our front garden has waited the past 8 years to flower like this. Amazing Spring!

I waited since the 2 October to hear that the small lump on my face was perfectly benign. My clever doctor has left a very small scar on which I am now trying the organic rose hip oil treatment.

We are waiting with great excitement to see Ella and J&J again on their return from Bali. I hope Ella has scored herself her own pair of beaded shoes so she'll be able to stop clacking around in her Mummy's at last.
