After Saturday's; sunny, clear sky day..the weather has turned blustery and wet az...our little water.tanks and no rain times will benefit from this weather.

There is a plan in place for today - more areas set up for our no dig flower beds.
That means hauling cardboard, baleage up the hill. Ah hah ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€โ“

10am kick off today - jug will be hot..
Stay home, stay cosy, warm and dry OR pop in with the high probability of getting wet, being wet weathered up ๐Ÿค—

Our darling Karen wasn't firing on all cylinders today...but she managed to crack on like a soldier

Nikki, Karen and Linda..planted out the corn and beans

Speaking of soldiers - Tyler kept an eye on Xiihunna and Emma as they shovelled in the compost..filling some raised gardens

Teziah and Josh - in the banana groves, doing some tidying up with their machetes

Within Nature were onsite and got their garden area shade clothed..looking blimmen flash eah!

Lovely to catch up with Claudia and Scott and hear about their new venture and community focus

Leanee and Ben (with the widest smile) popped up for a visit and a walk. Ben was particularly keen on the windchime ๐Ÿ™‚

We can post about the mahi we do, however the feeling that the whenua gives to us all ..while different, equates to a "sense of place"...in this space we have a sense of "place"

May you find your sense of place๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

AUE!! Rina was left to lock up....

Hobbling around, retracing steps

Looking, ๐Ÿ‘€, looking ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘€

Thinking what the heck..still hobbling

Yup, keys - sometimes reality beggars belief.

Top of the morning to you ALL. Gate open at 10 am..jug hot!

Our garden whips are cracking and the sound is....we will be planting corn and beans..

If that is not your thing - maybe a roller brush and paint

Yeh/Nah - cutting tithonia and trimming our banana grove

Watering seedlings? Feeding plants - STINK!

Reading a book..as you restack our substantial library?? And categorise our books

Always some job to help out with, here in the maara..

May your day be blessed,with time and a smile or two or three......
