The land down here in SA would never cope with so much water all at once. I just wanted to comment about the new bog template again - I love it. Thank you so much for the work you have put in to it.

We have sheets and the doona cover on the bed. We have been using the sheet, with the fans on full till last night. No fans and sheet and doona cover pulled up last night.

Not sure of the activities of the week coming up other than the usual which I love. BUT I do hope to get in some reading time in with your "Down to Earth" book which I just picked up from my local Barnes & Noble bookstore last evening. They had to order it special for me but I finally got it! I'm excited! :) <br />I only wish I could have them order your other 2 books for me but they said they can't order those. So I must find a way to get them here in the US. Not an easy thing I have discovered. <br /><br />Love the pic of Gracie --- she looks like she is relaxing/enjoying all the domesticity going on around her. ;)<br />~Sue Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-3653095741041013712017-04-03T14:02:43.758+10:002017-04-03T14:02:43.758+10:00As you enjoy fall I wake up to spring.

HOWEVER, I did steam a whole chicken on the weekend and kept the stock. I'm sure you can guess dinner tonight and with lots of gresh vegetables. Hope Hanno is on too of the world soon.

The air is just so clean and fresh. Your soups look lovely and I am sure Hanno will heal well with your good care. Spoil on! She will just love you all the more. :)<br /><br />We have five children and getting them all together in one place is often years apart. We will see three of them next weekend but that is often as high as it goes.

The Minecraft cake would have been fabulous and I bet Jamie was over the moon too. Sounds like you are in for a great week ahead and hope all goes well with Gracie.<br /><br />We have just started school holidays here. Our son is working most days and our daughter is spending 3 nights at Mum and Dad's. I'll continue in the garden as well as more research into feeding chickens, making our own hanging water bowls, cooking of course, reading, knitting. I also plan on staying home as much as I can. I noticed that when I'm out shopping etc. I just can't get home quick enough.<br /><br />Have a great day xx<br /><br />Home Is My Havenhttps://homesmyhaven.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-4603054822370580392017-04-03T05:30:08.770+10:002017-04-03T05:30:08.770+10:00I can't believe Jamie is six already!

And Gracie is beyond adorable :) This week I am continuing to go through stuff and get rid of things either by donating to the thrift shop, selling on eBay, or putting aside to re-use. Let's just say it's a process. Having a late breakfast with my college age son on Tuesday before his trip to California. Today is a beautiful sunny day (after 2 days of rain) so I am hanging out laundry right now. Then I will work on scanning old family photos for my genealogy project. I love to scrapbook, and am making two duplicate albums to eventually give to my kids.Debbie in PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638334788335810581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-54375312363639103272017-04-03T01:03:32.017+10:002017-04-03T01:03:32.017+10:00We're well into spring here, so vegetable and ...We're well into spring here, so vegetable and seed planting is the order of the day.
