Soup again

Soup again. I love the routine. Light the fire. Everything in the pot. Mornings work then jars in the oven and bottle just before tea time.

Note the cool wooden spoon from Crafty Gatherers. Thanks Marco and Tess -so good not to loose your spoon at the bottom of your soup pot.

Last of the summer peaches

We have peaches from January through to the end of March from local trees where we have collected the seed.

This is the lucky last. Beautiful and juicy.

These ones are on one of our higher paddocks where they get a lot of breeze so miss the fungal diseases some peaches are susceptible to.

Summer harvest

Thanks Crafty Gatherer.

This tray of yours was given as a koha when
Catherine and Neville from Plenty Permaculture visited with their latest Permaculture class.

It is very beautiful. I could not use it as a seed tray. I oiled it and am using it to ripen tomatoes.

Brickyard

A good mornings work. 155 bricks.
Total stacked is now 1929.

Enough for our new bathroom, lounge extension and maybe enough left over for a pizza oven/rocket stove.

So grateful to all of the wonderful people who spent time mixing mud with me.

Garlic fiber

Garlic pulp made from cutting one of my garlic plaits up, putting it in a pot of water and leaving on the wood range for a day.

I think I might try paper or maybe add it to some plaster. What an easy way to get fiber.

Carding

Carding our wool.

It is a little harder to felt than some but we have been learning.

This basket full will be a pair of slippers or boots.
