Re: Taking the plunge
Ugly, messy one here for me for most of the day. It ended on a tiring but good feeling note with 6 kids under the sprinkler having water balloon fights and an extra family here for take away dinner. Definitely not what I wanted to be doing but very glad I did it anyway.
New day tomorrow and will try again.
Hope it's been one with some good in it for everyone.
Big ❤

Re: Taking the plunge
The floor in my cave gave way. Long dark hole. I might try a sprinkler tomorrow. 🏋️♂️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️

Re: Taking the plunge
Hi you two @Maggie @CheerBear
Sounds like a tough day for you both. Although Cheerbear, your sprinkler moments sound as though it added some enjoyment to an otherwise bad day. Im glad. Had a giggle Maggie when you said youd try a sprinkler day tomorrow. I would join you both, but we have level 4 water restrictions starting this week. Althouth we are rural, we are lucky to be on town water. No sewerage though, we have septic tank. Anyway water restrictions ... no outside watering at all .. no hoses, no watering cans. Pretty tough. Especially when my little vege patch is kooking so good. Will have to collect grey water from washing I guess. But certainly no sprinklers. 😞

@Former-Member That’s really tough, especially after all you’ve come through with the fires.
I hope your little veggie patch survives. 🥕🥒🥬🌽🌶 🍓🍓💕💕☕️☕️☕️

Re: Taking the plunge
I hope so too @Maggie . I have lettuce and spinach almost ready to start using. Carrots coming on nicely, and beetroot just planted out as seedlings. And my herb garden is producing nicely too, and I've already been using some of them ... cress, corriander, parsley.
Does your new house feel like 'home' yet Maggie? Have you had a chance to check out the neighbourhood, or have you spent all your first couple of days holed up in your safe cave? Cannot say I blame you there ... its been a very hectic and stressful couple of weeks for you. I'll bet little Mags is enjoying having a back yard to venture out into, and no grass police in sight.
Sherry 😊

Re: Taking the plunge
@Former-Member Sounds like a nice garden you are caring for. It would be hard to see it wither. I hope you manage to save and eat from it.
Not like home yet @Former-Member . Still putting things in places, then searching for them. 🙃🙃
Ive spent lots of time unpacking. I sit in the garden, which is just lovely and peaceful.
Mags is loving so much about being here. Her small backyard , plus a view of the immediate neighbourhood. Doggy heaven.
Sending some of these your way. 💜💜💜💜
Good morning @CheerBear . I hope today is a better day for you. Dropping off ☕️☕️☕️☕️ And 💜💕💜💕💜
@Appleblossom Thanks for The hugs. Much needed. 💛💛💛
Love the pics also.😍😍 How are you doing? If you would like to say.......or not say is fine. Dropping off a coffee if you drink it, or tea, if that’s your preferred choice. ☕️☕️☕️☕️💜💜💜💜

Re: Taking the plunge
@Former-Member also sorry to hear about your garden. We had restrictions for a long time and it was sad to see the gardens, but understandable. I think of that time each time I turn the sprinkler on for the kids and feel thankful we can have them going.
@Appleblossom, @outlander 👋❤
@Maggie ❤ for the long dark hole you experienced yesterday. Big smile reading about the garden and Mags enjoying being there. Think from memory your washing machine came yesterday (clean undies always a👍thing 😉). I hope today has something that feels good in it.
Very little sleep again last night, though that was for all of us in the house. We had bonkers hot weather last night and really warm and windy today. I had two kids and a kitten struggle with it throughout the night, all ending up sprawled across my bed tossing and turning. Frustrating but can't really do much about the weather I guess.
❤ for the day ahead
