Potatoes Growing

Today we got some watering for the potatoes. As you can see from the ones in the front which look a bit stressed this is needed. We have been lucky though with at least little bits of rain now and then still falling to help the plants along.

Our First Paddle of the Summer


A Glorious day today and a chance to go for a paddle to try out our Christmas presents from Atalanta of PFD's. Off to Blue Rock Lake. I still can't work out how to paddle straight, but it is still fun paddling in the warm still air. Resting on the water, taking in the view and the silence. Now back at home my skin is can still feel the touch of the sun, although not burnt. My fingers smell of sunblock. The evocative smell of summer.

On Christmas Day

Walking back to the house on the post prandial walk. We'd walked to see how trees planted on our tree planting days were going. In particular the woolamai pine. We'd eaten well and enjoyed conversation with one heated exchange peppering up proceedings.

Agustina


Agustina not yet finished. The colour looks a bit out of control, but I quite like it.

Since I last posted. Some things

  Some work in various mediums. Mostly watercolour, but also pencil and tempera.
