I am pondering this as my beautiful garden is full of weeds and all the shrubs which normally look beautiful at this time of year are untrimmed from winter and valiantly putting forward new growth despite my lack of care. A whole term of school (10 weeks) were spent treading water with work mid-week and the weekends spent in Sydney watching our son play rugby and little maintenance was achieved on Moronga. The following school holidays were spent helping Simon on the place and a wonderul visit to see Mum in Brisbane. No worries ... I am now implementing the 15 minute rule!
For the last 3 days I have spent far more than 15 minutes in the garden (with my little poddy lamb, unnamed as yet and of course Claude, my Labrador) at my side. Once the weeds are gone Simon can bring me some hay and I'll put some sheep manure on the beds and cover them up! We are expecting a frost this weekend so I haven't started on the vegie garden as yet. Next trip to Dubbo on the 3rd November I'll pick up some punnets. I truly love my vegie garden as I love to cook with the freshest of produce and its great just ducking outside and picking dinner! Once everything is back to normal I am going to try to spend 15 mins every day in the garden. Keeping on top of things is easy when you start from finished!
After having so many weekends away it is amazing that we are spending the entire month at home!
How I love being at home!
Great news! I have paid the second last education bill on my Visa. Every weekly direct debit that goes in from now on is working towards my Cheese Room and Home Butchery Centre. Simon thinks that I do everything with smoke and mirrors! How true!
On the cheese front - I have started doing some serious research ... there are so many clever people on the internet. I want to start to add some of these to my blogsite as well so that I have their advice at hand. Another thing to learn.
Once again ... just enjoying it all!
