Feather your Nest Friday, 3rd October, 2025.
Welcome to October! The year is moving way too fast. You might as well get a cup of tea this is going to take a while.
I always say make hay while the sun shines. This can mean get your seedlings in while you can, clean when you can, be up on the washing, have some spare meals... all the things, while you can, because there will be some point where you can't.
A couple of weeks ago I slid in the mud in the chicken house and I felt myself falling. (With eggs in a container in one hand.) In a fluke move I saved myself! Not falling was great but instead one leg slid a mile and the other did not. It hurt and I thought mmm I might feel this in a few days. Then I forgot about it. But days later things began to hurt. And each day just seemed to get worse. I have new empathy for anyone with back/leg/knee pain! The things I had done in advance were all a big blessing. But then when the crisis is over we go back to build up again and making hay while the sun shines! It has just been a reminder... do things and keep ahead when you can. You are going to be so thankful you did at some point!
I will start in no particular order.
Chloe harvested her Parsley. I processed it for her in the Freeze drier and returned it to her for use all summer.
Because it is school holidays my Grandson Sidney came to stay. He was so excited. Well, we got to work. He thought this all was fabulous fun and we planted all the seedlings that I got last Friday.
I had bought a small size shovel. Best purchase ever! Sidney shovelled sheep manure and compost for hours.
We filled pots, topped up other pots. Sidney went in the tractor to bring up compost...
He drove the mower to pick up manure...
We got about forty seedlings planted and watered in.
Sidney thought this was marvellous. I thought it was too! That night it rained. Perfect!
We took a ride over the paddocks to Nana Pat. The big rocks in her garden were a big attraction.
