Planning for the Future....Sorted out the freezer and made meal plans to suit what I had. Organised DH to kill a couple of our lambs in the next few weeks to restock supplies. Finished writing up a Xmas pressie list and put aside patterns needed to make most of the gifts on my list.
Working for the Future....
Built a garden bed in front of the kitchen for herbs. Built tree guards for newly planted fruit trees to stop lambs from eating them. Started quilting Connie's quilt and cutting the shag's on DH's Old Jeans Shaggy quilt (inspiration from here) for Xmas. Crochet a blanket for Connie's Xmas dolly (yet to be made).
(you can see more pics of the dolly blanket here)Building Community....Sorted through the families old clothes and bagged a heap up to drop off to the Salvation Army next time I'm in town. Made a batch of peanut butter cookies to drop off to a friend.
Learn a New Skill...
Got a crash course on how to operate a John Deere 8820 Header so that I can help DH harvest our wheat crop.
And guess what?????
Less than 4 weeks til Bub #2 is due... Here's a belly pic taken while I was at work last week....
This bundle of joy has been incubating for 36 weeks now and our little family is just ever so anxious to meet him/her..... Take Care :)

Hello! Just a note to let you know that your SSCS gift is on its way! It is coming all the way from the USA so it may be about two weeks. I have enjoyed reading your blog and getting to know you through it. I can't wait to find out if Bub #2 is a boy or a girl!!
ReplyDeletewow! love reading your blog, I used to live on a farm in the Marlborough Sounds of NZ so love reading about the details on your blog - John Deere tractors etc! I feel motivated to update my blog after reading tonight, reminds me of the days when I was a 'younger' farmers wife! love your crop pics, wish my veg were looking so good! we've got plenty of lettuce/silverbeet types but no tomatoes yet - bring on summer!!
