Random things around home

Hello!

Popping back again 😊

We are waking up to misty, frosty mornings which then become lovely days:

Much prettier than what was on offer online!  Best of all it works... not one birdstrike has happened since blu-tacking the fans in position!


Dear little sweeties which we can see from the verandah:


... they love a mid-day plunge in this bowl:


It's been a busy 2 months for hubby.  Digging, digging, two tree removals and then digging and cleaning up.  The 'joys' of having an old fashioned septic tank system.  The drainage trenching failed and so he set out to save us thousands of dollars by slowly sorting it out himself. 


... It was a job well done and over with for sure!

Cinnamon Apple Cupcakes:

Jam Drops:

Date Scones:

Succulents always hold pride of place at our place.
