A visit to our farm

Ellen, Alex and Luke came to Underhill this time. We went just for the day and had a 'long' picnic with long food because we'd driven such a long way.


We had time for a tour and to look at interesting little things...

Lots of butterflies (probably a Common Brown).

Pears we planted for our granchildren before they were even thought of.

A skink (probably a Grass Sun Skink)

We washed the car together and the boys were such a help.

And had lots of time to just talk together ...


and play games.


The boys loved climbing the termite mounds.


On our walk to the Far Dam we found sticks to throw in the water...

Some tiny flowers

and some footprints ... wombat ...

and kangaroo.

I found my next Christmas tree is now as tall as the berry yard fence.

We had lots of fun together.

Today's harvest



Wow! Has my garden grown while I was away. I have spent some time weeding the front but the surprise was out the back where the vege garden has gone berserk both with weeds and veges and the flowers are blooming profusely.

I picked over 1 kg of beans as well as a 4 vases of flowers. Now various rooms in the house smell beautiful, each with it's own perfume.

What a joy it is to get back to the garden.
