How does your garden grow.....

Exceptionally well, I thank you....

The veggie patch is so lovely at the moment so I thought I would post some photos. In the patch I have growing cucumbers, tomatoes, rocket, coriander, eggplant, capsicum, beans, rhubarb, strawberries, ceylon spinach and rosellas.


 The ceylon spinach climbing up it's frame. I got these seedlings from a friend who had an over supply of plants so she gave me some.


I planted asparagus for the first time a few weeks ago....I am so looking forward to picking and eating my first homegrown spears off this plant.

Alex, my Buff Sussex Rooster with this girls....he is such a gentleman.

 Some tomatoes nestled in with the pineapple sage....

Me, soaking up the beautiful morning sun in my garden...

Rollerblading and the River at Sunset....

When I was a kid I spent many hours skating and rollerblading with my sister and a friend. Recently I decided I wanted to see if I could still rollerblade. I found a pair of blades my size at one of the local op shops and today I gave it a go....


I went to a park next to the Brisbane river and rediscovered the fun of being on eight wheels. I was a bit wobbly and I fell over (only once though) but it was a lot of fun and a great way to clear my head after a day of staring at screens.
It was such a lovely afternoon. The river was teeming with bird life and it was just near enough to sunset to still be able to take some photos.

It was so peaceful and calm....just lovely...
