Home grown nasturtiums

A watering session, this cold morning (last of current winter).

Temporary carport #2 collapsed

Alas it is no more. I arrived home late last night, to find this....it looked worse in the dark. My heart sank. The sunshine of a new, cold (1 F) morning made it less dramatic though.

I asked Mum and John to come help me dismantle the tarp and structure. Which they did.

I am grateful as I could not do it by myself. I felt a bit defeated.

And now, here we are without it. Just a bit of scrap metal in the corner, near the bins. I'll call a local scrap metal yard soon.

It used to look so good, and was so useful.

I'm considering having a sail erected. Something like this, or an approximation. Just something to provide some shade over the car and plants, and concrete area.

Mum, in the front

Mum came to visit me, and had a cup of tea. Here she is about to go home, in the front garden, holding some home grown beets from my vegie patch. Unfortunately, I caught her at the wrong moment - she is doing something fierce with her face!

Red Robins spreading

Joining hands, finally. Getting wider and working to block the view from the road-corner. Yay!

Chookies dug in!

Here they are, organising their dust-bath in the sunshine!
