Oh our misspent youth-It was fun

Archeology? Tracking?

I found this unfamiliar imprint in our garden, and after puzzling over the closeness of front and rear paws and sharp deep hole behind, finally figured out what animal made it. It was Treat, urinating.

Curly onions.

One of my favorite weird vegies .Here is some info on tree onions.

Some before and now shots

We are getting some warm to hot days(which has started the fire season really early).Finally some rain and the garden has gone beserk.The first pic. was taken about two months ago.You can see we have covered all the grass with sawdust(with newspaper underneath),Its brilliant,no lawn to cut or water and it feels great to walk on and its really helped with drainage.

Spuds

1. 

1. So far the spuds in tyres experiment is looking good.

Broccoli

The spring broccoli are just about to produce flower heads-now begins the war with the white cabbage butterfly.Im hoping that the net might help,so far they don't seem able to get through it.The net is still up because the bantams love nothing more than broccoli,they don't do much damage in the garden but they can strip a brocoli plant in seconds.

Flatt & Scruggs sing Pearl

On the deck.

We have been back on the island,checking out the building progress.Bring me a gin fizz the deck is nearly done.

First.

First Flanders poppy for this season(dedicated to Digler who's been in the wars).
First stained glass window Ive ever made-Just got all the pieces together today,the maths has given me a headache.Soldering tommorrow,next the world.

Some more shack shots.

Some shack shots.

Sultanas of Bruny.

My dear friend Annie and I have been going to Bruny Island to paint ,swim and fish for over ten years.Staying at the shack pictured here.Annie bought a block of land above this shack and has just begun building her own ,its so exciting .We spent the last few days digging foundations and preparing the block for planting.The little Echidna turned up to eat the ants we had disturbed.Thats Annie-looking excited.

Hotel La Pinta

Sorry, I still haven't figured out how to do the picture thing other than hitting blog in picassa. This is the hotel we found the first time we drove the Baja Penninsula.  

Baja Beautiful

I'm heading back down to BAJA soon and found this shot from our first visit there. We are returning to this beach again this year. I'm going to try my hand as surf fishing and clamming. Anyone have any experience at it?
